Starting a New Project: MIHU Website Builder

MIHU stands for “May I Help You.” We are building a cool website builder!

A Basic CMS for Everyone

We are creating a basic Content Management System (CMS). By "basic," we mean a simple, minimal, and handy tool to represent your business online. The best part? It’s going to be FREE!

Key Features

Users will have the ability to create a website with the following pages:

Home Page
About
Services/Products
Contact Us

The design will be responsive, ensuring a great look across various devices. Users will have control over the design, colors, content, and graphics. Unlike other platforms, there will be no advertisements! Just a clean and intuitive user interface.

How It All Started

On the Way to Building a Cool CMS

I initiated this project for several reasons:

Empowering Users: I want to provide a simple way for people to create their own web pages. We are targeting very basic users who can’t afford to hire a developer or agency but still need a website.
Challenging My Capabilities: I have always been eager to explore new technologies, and this project presents an exciting challenge that keeps me motivated to code.
Mobile-Friendly: Our goal is to enable users to create a website using just their mobile phones, making web development accessible to everyone.

How We’re Planning to Build It

This is an open-source project, and I am thrilled to have Himanshu collaborating with me. Everyone is welcome to contribute to this journey!

Cool Tools We’re Going to Use

We will build the website builder using the following tech stack:

Next.js: A powerful framework for server-rendered React applications.
React: For building the front end of our application.
Vercel: Our hosting platform to deploy the website effortlessly.
Firebase: For backend-as-a-service, providing real-time data and authentication.
VS Code: The code editor we’ll use for development.
GitHub: For managing our code and collaborating with contributors.

What Do We Want to Achieve?

We’re building this project out of passion. Our primary goal is to make a positive impact through our code. We want to create a product that people genuinely like and use. Our focus is on helping individuals in small and medium-sized businesses thrive online.
