The problem
Traditional website builders often trade flexibility for simplicity or overwhelm users with complex editing interfaces. I wanted to build a visual editor that feels approachable while still giving users precise control over their websites.
The approach
Built a component-based visual editor where every website is represented as a JSON node tree. The editor supports reusable components, responsive layouts, live editing, and AI-assisted content generation while keeping rendering and state management predictable.
Key decisions
Designed the editor around a JSON node architecture instead of HTML templates, making serialization, rendering, undo/redo, reusable components, and future features like expressions and dynamic data much easier to implement. Chose Firebase to simplify authentication and persistence while focusing development effort on the editor experience.
The result
SiteNix is live at sitenix.app and used by real Nigerian businesses. I am the sole founder and full-stack engineer — every product decision, line of code, architecture, and deployment was shipped by me.
