Hi [Builder.io](http://Builder.io) Team,

I’m building a platform similar to Shopify/wordpress… using Next.js, where users can create and design their own web pages. I’m interested in using [Builder.io](http://Builder.io) as the page builder solution for my platform.

Could you please confirm if [Builder.io](http://Builder.io) is suitable for such use? Additionally, I’d appreciate any guidance on best practices for integrating [Builder.io](http://Builder.io) into my Next.js app, particularly around managing user-generated content and ensuring smooth performance.
