A production-ready portfolio and blog system built with Next.js and powered by Notion

Notion CMS is a complete portfolio and blog system built with Next.js and Notion as a headless CMS.

You manage all your content inside Notion, but your website runs on your own code, your own domain, and your own hosting with full control over performance, SEO, and scalability.

You get a real website, not a Notion page link.

This template is built for developers, designers, freelancers, and creators who want a fast, scalable, SEO-first website without building everything from scratch.


Notion-like UI with pixel-perfect rendering

No design compromises. No mismatches.

The UI is inspired directly by Notion itself. Every block, layout, and spacing is rendered pixel perfect on your website.

What you see inside Notion is exactly what your visitors see on your site.

No broken layouts

No rewritten styles

No visual inconsistencies

Your users get the same clean and familiar Notion experience, but on a fast, fully optimized Next.js website.

Original Notion page – shows the content as entered in Notion

Why this exists when Notion already has a “website” feature

Notion’s native website feature renders everything on the client side. That causes slow load times, weak SEO, poor Google indexing, and almost no technical control.

This template solves those problems completely.

With this setup

  • Built with Next.js, one of the fastest modern frameworks
  • Pages are statically rendered
  • Near instant load times
  • Very strong SEO and Google indexing
  • Handles high traffic easily
  • Full control over meta title, description, Open Graph, and thumbnails
  • Auto generated sitemap.xml and robots.txt
  • Per-page indexing control
  • Connect Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager
  • Built-in Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights
  • You fully own the code, hosting, and behavior

With Notion’s native website feature

  • Slow page loads
  • Client-side rendering only
  • Weak SEO
  • Poor Google indexing
  • No sitemap or robots.txt control
  • No proper analytics setup
  • Limited metadata and thumbnail control
  • No real ownership of performance


Real proof. Real traffic. No marketing.

This exact Next.js + Notion CMS setup is already running in production on a fresh domain with only 6 quality blog posts and zero paid marketing.
