Build a Content Management System (CMS) with AI - in Hours

ProjectCode generates a complete, production-ready Content Management System (CMS) from a single natural language prompt. In hours instead of months, you get a React frontend, NestJS REST API, PostgreSQL database, and authentication - fully integrated, live-previewed, and deployed to a URL you own.

Estimated build time: 2–4 hours

01 · The Challenge

Why building a CMS from scratch is hard

Building a Content Management System (CMS) from scratch requires months of development time and significant engineering resources. Teams struggle to coordinate frontend, backend, database, and authentication while managing cms-specific business logic, integrations, and role-based access rules.

02 · What's Included

Everything your CMS needs

ProjectCode generates a production-ready CMS with all the modules your team needs from day one.

Rich text editor with media uploads and embeds
Content type builder with custom fields and taxonomies
Scheduled publishing and draft/review workflows
Role-based editorial permissions (author, editor, admin)
SEO fields: meta title, description, canonical, OG image
Multi-language content support with translation status
Headless API with REST and GraphQL endpoints
Content versioning and rollback

03 · Architecture

How it's built

The generated CMS follows production-grade architecture patterns.

React 18 + TypeScript frontend with role-based dashboards tailored for cms workflows

NestJS REST API with dedicated cms modules, DTOs, validators, and service layer

PostgreSQL relational schema with normalized tables for all cms entities

JWT + Google OAuth authentication with granular permission gates per role

Real-time Socket.IO events for live cms status updates and notifications

Managed hosting with one-click deploy, custom domain, and auto-SSL

04 — Database

PostgreSQL schema designed for CMS

ProjectCode generates a normalized, indexed PostgreSQL schema with the right tables and relationships for your use case. You own the schema and can evolve it freely.

  • content_types (id, name, slug, fields_schema jsonb, workspace_id)
  • entries (id, content_type_id, data jsonb, status, slug, locale, published_at, author_id)
  • media (id, filename, url, mime_type, size, alt_text, folder_id, uploaded_by)
  • revisions (id, entry_id, data jsonb, created_by, created_at)
