Headless CMS

Sanity CMS

The options are endless when selecting a content management system (CMS). Debates on monolithic vs. hybrid vs. headless are endless. We have dabbled in many CMSs in our time, so here's where we have landed.

Explainer

What is a headless CMS?

A headless CMS is a content management system that focuses solely on managing and delivering content without providing built-in presentation layers. It decouples content creation from content display, enabling flexibility in delivering content across various platforms and devices. This allows you to maximise how content is delivered to users - from a web experience down to a native mobile app, and much more.

Our pick of the bunch is Sanity because it offers an exceptional content editing experience, security, scalability, flexibility for the future and best-in-class developer tooling.

The Sanity platform:

WHAT IT DOES

Studio

An open-source management interface called the “Studio” allows content editors to compose their words and assets in a beautiful interface. You’ll have the ability to tailor the editing experience to meet your needs.

APIs

Powerful APIs that allow developers to pull content into any platform. With the flexibility to integrate with new technologies, Sanity Platform will allow you to innovate and outperform your users expectations.

Content Lake

A scalable managed storage platform for all your content and data is the “Content Lake” - it runs in the cloud and is a fully managed service. This is the content source of truth.

Over the past 4 years, we’ve honed our knowledge of Sanity in combination with our framework of choice, Next.js, to deliver a feature-rich starting point for any content-driven web apps we develop.

The benefits of this approach means our starting point is a fully functioning website that can easily be extended upon and customised to suit your needs.

We only focus on what you need rather than a complex admin dashboard full of features you’ll never use.

We embrace a “modular” approach to page building, which allows you to organise your content easily and present it using many visual devices.
