BBC World Service News websites are rendered using Simorgh, a ReactJS based Single Page Application which also builds Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) for every regular HTML page that it renders. Simorgh also renders AMP pages for BBC Public Service News and BBC Sport. Simorgh provides a fast and accessible web experience used by millions of people around the world each month (see list of websites using Simorgh). It is regularly maintained and well documented, and we welcome open-source contributors. Simorgh is primarily maintained by the BBC News Web Engineering teams. It delivers highly trusted news to readers all over the world, currently in (41 languages). We support a wide range of devices and care deeply about scale, performance, and accessibility. We work in agile, flexible teams, and have an exciting roadmap for future development.
