easyresume.online, Full-Stack Product Build

EasyResume needed more than a marketing site. It needed a working product: a free ATS-friendly resume builder that people could use end to end, plus a content engine that ranked for 'resume builder', 'ATS resume', 'resume examples', and hundreds of role-specific long-tail queries. Competitors like Resume.io and Zety dominate paid and organic and sit behind paywalls. The play was a genuinely free tool paired with programmatic SEO at a scale a small team could not match by hand.

Built on Next.js 16 App Router, Prisma, Supabase, NextAuth, Stripe, and Vercel. The product side: a live resume editor with 10 template families (ATS, classic, modern, executive, creative, tech, minimal, functional, hybrid, compact), real-time preview, PDF export, cover letter generation, and accounts so users can save and revisit resumes. The SEO side: 800+ programmatically generated pages from typed data files. Job-role pages, skill and bullet-point pages, cover-letter templates, and pillar blog articles. Schema markup (Article, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList) on every page, a keyword-aligned title/H1/intro convention enforced across templates, and an IndexNow cron that submits new URLs to Bing and Yandex.

The builder is live and free to use at easyresume.online. Hundreds of URLs indexed across job roles, cover letters, and resume guides, all served from a single typed content layer, with Lighthouse 95+ on every template page. This is the build that proves the Website Building as a Service offering: a complete product, not a brochure.

Spent two weeks on a sitemap-index split that Next.js 16 has a bug in. Reverted to a single sitemap and the URLs got indexed faster. Lesson: don't fight the framework on edge features pre 1.x. The bigger win was treating SEO pages as data, not pages. Once the data files were typed, adding 100 more roles was an afternoon, not a sprint.
