Hire a senior Sanity CMS developer
Most freelance frontend developers can ship a React site. Far fewer actually know Sanity CMS — schemas with typed references, GROQ joins that don't waterfall, Sanity Studio customisation, document internationalisation, image hot-spot pipelines, and webhook-driven ISR. I've shipped 15+ headless sites on this stack in production.
If you're looking for a Sanity CMS developer for hire — for a new headless build, a migration off WordPress or Contentful, or retained work for an agency's client roster — this is the bench you want.
What I offer
Headless CMS website build
A polished marketing site or content platform built with Next.js App Router and Sanity CMS — from a Figma file or rough brief to a staging URL in days. Editors get a fully structured Studio. Visitors get sub-200ms pages and green Core Web Vitals.
Typical timeline: 3–5 weeks for a 6–10 page site.
CMS migration
Move off WordPress, Contentful, or a brittle custom CMS without losing content, URLs, or SEO equity. I map your content model to typed Sanity schemas, migrate data, and redirect legacy URLs — editors barely notice the switch.
Typical timeline: 4–8 weeks depending on content volume.
Performance & SEO audit
A deep Core Web Vitals and technical SEO audit with a ranked fix list. I profile LCP, INP, CLS, and bundle size on real pages, not synthetic demos. Most teams get 20–40 point Lighthouse gains within a single sprint.
Delivered as a written report + video walkthrough within 5 days.
Agency retainer
A weekly block of senior Next.js + Sanity CMS engineering for agencies that need reliable overflow capacity. One point of contact, async-first communication, staging URL from day one — no context-switching overhead for your team.
Available in 1-day and 3-day weekly blocks.
How it works
Scope call
30 minutes on cal.com to understand the project, content model, integrations, and timeline. I ask the questions most developers skip — what does done look like for your editor, not just your designer.
Written proposal
A fixed-price proposal with milestones, deliverables, and a payment schedule — usually within 48 hours. No vague day-rate, no scope creep surprises.
Staging from day one
I push a live staging URL on day one of every project. You see real progress every working day, not a big reveal at the end.
Handoff & support
Loom walkthroughs for editors, clean README for the next developer, and 30 days of post-launch support included on every fixed-price project.
