Hydroponics Central — Built, Written & Live
Designed, built, and launched Hydroponics Central — "Your Hub for Everything Hydroponics." A full Next.js content platform covering soilless gardening from beginner guides to DIY builds. I wrote every article, built the whole stack, and own the SEO strategy.
1,000+ newsletter subscribers • 12–15 min long-form articles • Live on Vercel
The Challenge
Most freelancers claim they can build and write. I wanted a live, verifiable project that proved both — something a potential client could actually open, read, and judge. The hydroponics niche was deliberate: specific enough to rank, with a real audience actively searching for answers.
The Solution
I built the platform on Next.js, deployed to Vercel, and handled everything from the architecture to the newsletter integration. The content strategy was built around topic clusters — beginner guides, DIY system builds, crop-specific growing data — with every article researched and written by me. Articles average 12–15 minutes of reading time with real data and practical takeaways.
