Looking for a Sanity CMS development agency or company?

Most teams searching for a Sanity development agency want three things: someone who genuinely knows Sanity, a predictable price, and a project that ships on time. You get all three here — without the account managers, junior hand-offs, or agency overhead baked into the quote. The person on your scope call is the person writing your schemas.

It's a full-service Sanity CMS implementation: discovery and content modelling, a Studio shaped around your editors, a Next.js front end, content migration with redirects, technical SEO, and 30 days of support after launch. Agencies can also hire a Sanity developer as white-label capacity for their own clients.

Typical agency
Account manager → PM → developer. Day rates, change requests, slower start.
Generalist freelancer
React developer who has “used Sanity”. Cheap start, painful Studio later.

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

Walkthrough videos for editors, clean README for the next developer, and 30 days of post-launch support included on every fixed-price project.

Common Questions

Are you a Sanity CMS development agency or company?

I'm a senior independent Sanity CMS developer, not an agency — but the delivery is agency-grade: discovery, content modelling, Studio build, Next.js front end, migration, and post-launch support under one fixed-price proposal. The difference is you work directly with the person building your site, with no account-manager layer or junior hand-off, which usually makes the project faster and cheaper than a typical Sanity development agency.

What does a Sanity CMS implementation include?

A full Sanity CMS implementation covers content modelling (typed schemas and references), Sanity Studio configuration for editors, GROQ queries, the Next.js front end with live preview and on-demand revalidation, content migration from your old CMS with a 301 redirect map, technical SEO, editor training, and 30 days of support. Fixed-price builds start at $4,000.

What does a Sanity CMS development agency or freelancer do?

A Sanity CMS developer designs typed content schemas, builds and customises Sanity Studio for editors, writes GROQ queries, and integrates the CMS with a Next.js front end. Work ranges from greenfield headless builds to migrating off WordPress or Contentful, to debugging and optimising existing Sanity projects.

How much do Sanity CMS development services cost?

Fixed-price packages start at $4,000 for a Sanity + Next.js site build, $3,000 for a migration off WordPress or Contentful, and $800 for a performance and Sanity audit — separate from Sanity's own SaaS plan costs. Larger content platforms scale from there. I send a fixed-price proposal with milestones after a 30-minute scope call, so there are no day-rate surprises.

Can I hire a Sanity CMS developer for a one-off project or as an ongoing agency retainer?

Both. I take fixed-price engagements for new builds, migrations, and Studio customisation work, as well as weekly retainer blocks for agencies that need reliable senior Next.js + Sanity CMS capacity. Retainers are available in 1-day and 3-day weekly blocks.

What is included in a Sanity CMS development service?

Typically: typed schema design in TypeScript, GROQ query writing, Sanity Studio customisation (Structure Builder, custom input components, document actions), Next.js App Router integration with draft mode and on-demand ISR, image hot-spot pipeline, and 30 days of post-launch support. The exact scope is defined in a written fixed-price proposal before work begins.

Do you work with agencies as a white-label Sanity CMS developer?

Yes. A significant part of my work is white-label or overflow capacity for digital agencies building headless sites for their clients. I work async-first, maintain clean handoff documentation, and push a live staging URL from day one so your team can demo progress to clients.
