React-based Drag & Drop Page Builder
Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD
**Project Overview**
This project is a **React-based block builder (Drag & Drop Page Builder)**. Users should be able to drag predefined UI blocks to construct a page, modify settings for each block, and finally build and **publish** the entire page. The data should be stored in **JSON format**, and custom components should be supported for user-defined UI elements.
---
**Core Requirements**
1. **Drag & Drop Page Builder**
- **Drag blocks from the sidebar** into the workspace (DropZone)
- Rearrange blocks by dragging
- Nest blocks inside containers (Row / Column)
- **Implement a 12-grid system** for block size adjustment
- **Visual indication of drop locations** while dragging
2. **Page Management**
- Ability to **create and manage multiple pages**
- Save and load individual pages in **JSON format**
- Edit and preview each page separately
- **Build and publish all pages** as a final step
3. **JSON-Based Data Storage**
- The builder should **store page configurations in JSON format**
- Each block’s settings (text, image, size, etc.) should be included in the JSON structure
- Enable saving and loading of JSON from **server or local storage**
4. **Custom Component Support**
- Users should be able to **add new UI components**
- JSON should store the component’s configuration for reuse
- **Dynamic data binding using props** should be supported
- Example: Users can add `MyCustomButton` and configure its color, text, and behavior
5. **Real-Time Preview and Editing**
- **Preview feature before publishing**
- Blocks should be **immediately reflected in the preview** upon modification
- Live editing functionality should apply JSON data to the UI in real time
6. **Publish (Final Output)**
- The completed page should be **converted into usable HTML & CSS**
- Users should be able to **download or upload the final built page** to a server
---
**Technical Requirements**
- Development using **React + TypeScript**
- **React DnD** for drag-and-drop functionality
- JSON-based data storage and retrieval
- **TailwindCSS** or Styled-components for styling
- **Next.js** or Create React App (CRA) for project setup
- Optional integration with Firebase or Supabase for database storage
---
**Development Scope**
- **Phase 1:** Drag & Drop Builder, Block Addition & Editing
- **Phase 2:** JSON Data Handling, Page Management
- **Phase 3:** Preview, Publish Feature, Custom Component Support
---
**Additional Notes**
- Provide a simple **user guide/manual** after completion
- Discuss maintenance and additional feature development
- Ensure **intuitive UI/UX** for ease of use
---
**Communication & Workflow**
- GitHub repository for code management
- Real-time communication via Slack or Discord
- Weekly progress updates required
