How I Built My Own Next.js Template Store (And What I Learned)

A few months ago, I decided to build my own Next.js landing page template store : https://www.aniq-ui.com/en.
I wanted a place to sell templates I designed and coded myself, but I also wanted it to reflect my taste in UI and performance.

Why I Chose Next.js ?

I’ve worked with React for years, and Next.js gave me the balance between speed, SEO, and developer control.
Its app router and server components made it easy to scale templates cleanly without messy state handling.

The Stack

  • Next.js for structure and SSR

  • TailwindCSS for consistent design

  • TypeScript for safety and scalability

  • Framer Motion for subtle motion design

Simple local JSON for i18n, later upgrading to a CMS

What I Learned

Designing for reusability is harder than it looks.

A fast page is nice, but good UX sells.

You don’t need a team, just focus, taste, and iteration.
