Khushi Motors

01Overview

khushimotors.com is the showroom website for Khushi Motors. It lists every vehicle available in the showroom, with multi-language, multi-currency and multi-location support. It runs on Next.js with a Node.js back-end and is built to rank in search. I'm responsible for the live site, including deployment and ongoing optimisation.

02The challenge

A dealership with showrooms in several cities and countries needs one website that shows the right stock, in the right currency, to buyers in each market, and still ranks in local search against classifieds and other dealers.

03The solution

I built the site on Next.js for server-rendered, SEO-friendly pages, with a Node.js back-end serving the showroom inventory. Language, currency and location support lets one site serve every branch. Ongoing deployment and optimisation keep it fast and current.

06Tech stack and why

Next.js

Server-rendered vehicle pages index well and load fast on mobile, which matters for dealership search traffic.

Node.js

Serves inventory data and shares conventions with the rest of the Khushi Motors & Ocean Trading ecosystem.

Linux VPS, Nginx, SSL

Production hosting under my direct control for deployment and tuning.

07Architecture

1. Location-aware inventory: vehicles belong to a showroom, and visitors can browse by location.
2. Currency and language handled at the application level rather than as duplicate sites.
3. Technical SEO baked in: canonical tags, Open Graph metadata, server rendering.
4. Shares the ecosystem with Ocean ERP, the Ocean Trading website and the auction platform.
5. Deployed on a Linux VPS behind Nginx with SSL/HTTPS. Node.js processes are managed with PM2.
