A fast, fully self-managed website built with Next.js, Directus as a headless CMS, and PostgreSQL.
I developed the site so the client manages all content themselves — no developer needed for updates. It includes multi-language support, interactive forms, and a clean, SEO-friendly structure.
Deployed with Docker on the client's own server, so they fully own the site and pay no monthly SaaS fees.
Result: a self-owned website the client updates independently, with full control over content and hosting.
Stack: Next.js, Directus, PostgreSQL, Docker.
