Introduction

Welcome to the BILDIT Web Visual Experience Engine — the fastest way to build, schedule, and ship visual content on your Next.js website, without dev tickets or redeploys. This guide takes you from your new VXE account to scheduled content rendering on your production site.

Idea → live experience. Hours, not weeks.

BILDIT Web lets your team manage scheduled content visually and publish instantly. It offers:

• Intuitive scheduled content management and flexible scheduling
• Multi-device preview
• Template-based content creation with no coding required
• Rendering on your production site via the @bildit-platform/nextjs SDK

How scheduled content gets to your website

A complete setup has two parts, and you need both:

• Author & edit in the VXE — create scheduled content, schedules, and templates in the BILDIT admin interface, and edit slots in place with the Visual Editor. See Visual Editor Setup.
• Render on your production site — the @bildit-platform/nextjs SDK fetches your published scheduled content and renders it on your Next.js site for visitors. See Production Site Rendering (Next.js).

What you need

To use the VXE — author, schedule, and preview scheduled content:

• A modern web browser and your BILDIT account credentials.

To render scheduled content on your production site:

• A Next.js site (App Router)
• Node and a package manager (npm / yarn / pnpm) — the @bildit-platform packages are public on npm, no token needed
• A published scheduled content item with a Location assigned, your web instance API key, and your BILDIT base URL (the root URL of your CMS instance — the host you log into BILDIT at)

The Next.js Integration Guide walks through all of it, step by step.
