When a story breaks, every second counts. A journalist must write it, an editor must approve it, and readers must see it before the competition does. If your publishing system slows that process down, you lose readers, clicks, and revenue. That is exactly why we built QNews CMS – a news portal CMS designed for the real rhythm of modern newsrooms.
Today, 10 newsrooms use QNews CMS every day to keep the public informed about the most important news. They include ATV, UNA, SEE Srpska, Provjereno, Hedonist, and Srpska National.
What is QNews CMS?
QNews CMS is a content management system built for online media, news portals, and newsrooms. Qdevs, a Banja Luka software studio, developed it and has built web platforms, apps, and CMS solutions for media companies and online businesses since 2012.
Unlike general-purpose platforms such as WordPress or Drupal, QNews CMS was designed for news from day one. That means fast article creation, a clear editorial workflow, and full control over what gets published and when.
Key features of QNews CMS

- One-click preview – see exactly how an article will look before it goes live, with inline editing.
- Scheduled publishing – plan content ahead and keep a steady publishing rhythm.

Benefits for your newsroom
1. Faster publishing, more readers
In online news, the first story out usually gets the most traffic. QNews CMS shortens the path from idea to publication, so your newsroom can be first on Google and social media.
2. No technical knowledge needed
Every journalist can use the system from day one. Reporters, editors, and outside contributors work independently, without waiting on IT support.
3. Full editorial control
Roles, approvals and version history protect the quality and credibility of your outlet. Nothing reaches the portal without being checked.
4. Grows with you
QNews CMS powers everything from small editorial sites to high-traffic national portals. As you grow, you never have to switch platforms or go through a costly migration.
5. Tailored to your brand
The system adapts to your visual identity, audience, and newsroom structure, not the other way around.
6. Support and documentation
The team that built the system is based in Banja Luka. You get clear documentation and fast answers whenever you need help.
7. Safe migration from your old system
We handle the move from WordPress, Drupal or any other system. That is exactly how ATV replaced the outdated infrastructure that was holding its newsroom back.
