Key Aspects:
  • SEO-Friendly Architecture

Intuitive Admin Panel

A custom-built admin panel allows the MyHubz team to easily add, edit, and manage blog posts, categories, and titles. This removes technical barriers and streamlines the content creation workflow.

Multi-Level Category System

We implemented a flexible system to organize content. Posts can be assigned to multiple categories and structured under main titles and sub-titles, improving site navigation and content discoverability for users.

Dynamic Sitemap for SEO

A dynamic sitemap was crucial for SEO. It automatically updates whenever a new post is published, ensuring that search engines like Google can efficiently find and index all new content, boosting organic visibility.

Robust PHP Backend & MySQL DB

The backend was built with PHP to create a secure and efficient API for the Next.js frontend. MySQL was chosen for its reliability and performance in storing and retrieving blog content, users, and category data.

The Ideal Tech Stack for a Modern Blog

The combination of Next.js, PHP, and MySQL offers a powerful and balanced solution. Next.js provides a world-class frontend experience with unmatched performance and SEO benefits, which is critical for a blog's success.

The decoupled PHP backend provides a stable, secure, and easy-to-maintain API, while MySQL serves as a reliable database for all content. This architecture allows the frontend and backend to be developed and scaled independently, creating a fast, manageable, and future-proof platform.
