Sanity editing
What we do

Move beyond WordPress. Keep your content and your rankings.

Faster by default

Static and server-rendered Next.js pages, without WordPress theme and plugin overhead.

Easier to edit

Sanity Studio is set up around your content, so editors see only what they need.

Fewer moving parts

No plugin updates or WordPress security patches to manage.

Live in as little as 3 weeks

Smaller sites can launch in 2-3 weeks.

Sanity content

Content migrated into Sanity

We move your pages, posts and media from WordPress into structured Sanity content, so it's reusable and easy to manage.

  • Pages, blog posts, categories and tags
  • Images and media library
  • Authors and custom post types
  • Structured content models built for your site

SEO and 301 redirects

We map every old address to the new site and carry the metadata across, so search engines can follow the move.

  • Full URL mapping and 301 redirects
  • Page titles, meta descriptions and alt text carried over
  • XML sitemap, schema and Search Console resubmission
  • Post-launch crawl checks

Plugins replaced, frontend rebuilt

We audit each plugin and rebuild what the site needs in the new frontend, instead of carrying the plugin stack across.

  • Plugin audit, with forms, SEO, analytics and integrations rebuilt cleanly
  • Custom Next.js frontend, designed to your brand
  • GA4 and ad tracking reconnected
  • Sanity Studio training for your team

Sanity is a headless CMS. Your content lives in Sanity, and a custom Next.js frontend displays it. That removes theme and plugin overhead, which makes sites faster and easier to maintain.
