The verdict: can you vibe code Mixo?
Build a personal subset for fast landing page prototyping, but keep paying if you need multi-tenant custom domains and automated SSL at scale.
Vibecoding an AI landing page generator with Next.js, Claude, and Tailwind is straightforward over a few weekends. The real friction points will appear when attempting to replicate automated wildcard DNS routing, dynamic SSL issuance for custom user domains, and high-concurrency LLM parsing without timeouts. For personal use as a rapid wireframing tool, building a local generator is a fun project; for production multi-tenant hosting, the modest monthly fee saves massive infrastructure headaches.
Estimated effort: 2-3 weeks part-time

Build guide
01Project Scaffolding and Database Schema
Initialize the Next.js app with Tailwind CSS, configure Turso for SQLite storage, and set up better-auth tables.
Create a new Next.js project using App Router, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. Configure Turso as the database driver using Drizzle ORM. Define database schemas for 'users', 'sites' (id, userId, title, description, contentJson, subdomain, customDomain, publishedAt), and 'submissions' (id, siteId, email, message, createdAt). Implement better-auth for user authentication with email and password. Ensure all TypeScript types are fully exported and strict mode is enabled. Verify database connection scripts run cleanly.02AI Generation Pipeline
Implement the core prompt-to-website generation engine using the Vercel AI SDK and Anthropic API.
Implement an API route in Next.js using the Vercel AI SDK and Anthropic API that accepts a natural language business description. Use structured object generation to return a strict JSON payload representing a complete landing page structure: hero headline, subheadline, features list (title, description), call-to-action text, and color palette preferences. Handle API timeout edge cases, validate the schema with Zod, and save the generated site payload directly into the Turso database linked to the authenticated user.03Visual Block Editor UI
Build an interactive client-side WYSIWYG section editor for tweaking text, swapping images, and adjusting styles.
Build a responsive visual site editor page in Next.js App Router where users can click on any section of the generated landing page (hero, features, form) to edit inline text, modify color variables, and select stock images. Ensure changes update local React state instantly and provide a 'Save Changes' button that persists the updated JSON content structure back to the database backend API route.04Form Capture and Subscriber Dashboard
Create public lead capture form handlers and a private dashboard for reviewing submissions.
Create a public-facing dynamic landing page renderer that reads published site JSON configurations from the database and renders clean Tailwind markup. Include a fully functional contact/waitlist form with built-in client-side validation and anti-spam Honeypot fields. Wire the form submission to a backend API route that stores entries in the 'submissions' table, triggers an optional Resend notification email, and displays a success message. Build a protected dashboard page allowing users to view, filter, and export their site's form submissions as a CSV file.05Automatic llms.txt Generation and Publishing
Implement dynamic generation of llms.txt and llms-full.txt files for AI search engine optimization.
Implement dynamic API routes for published sites that automatically generate and serve an 'llms.txt' file (providing a concise markdown table of contents with links to page sections) and an 'llms-full.txt' file (containing the complete markdown text representation of the site content) following the official llmstxt.org specification whenever a site is published or updated.
