Seamless editor experiences
Sanity Studio is purpose-built for content teams — configurable, intuitive, and designed around how your editors actually work.
Drupal → Sanity
Drupal to Sanity Migration
Drupal is powerful, but operating it takes a level of developer involvement most teams can no longer justify. We migrate teams from Drupal to Sanity.
Signs your team is ready to move off Drupal
Simple updates, text changes, image swaps, new pages — all require developer involvement on most Drupal setups. That bottleneck slows your marketing team down and increases costs.
Drupal's major version upgrades are time-consuming and often break existing functionality. The effort required to stay current consumes dev time that should go toward building new things.
Drupal's admin interface is built for developers, not editors. As your content team grows, the gap between what editors need and what Drupal provides becomes increasingly frustrating.
Without a structured content model, Drupal page builds create visual drift over time — different layouts, inconsistent components, and a site that gets harder to maintain with every new page.
Drupal has a headless mode but it adds complexity on top of an already complex platform. Sanity is headless by design — simpler to operate, faster to build on, and purpose-built for modern content teams.
Why enterprise teams are replacing Drupal to Sanity
-
-
Modern headless architecture
Sanity is API-first and headless by design. Your frontend team works independently, deployments are faster, and your content powers any channel — website, app, or anywhere else. -
Lower operational overhead
Sanity is fully managed — no server maintenance, no upgrade cycles, no security patches. Your development team focuses on building, not babysitting infrastructure.

How our Drupal to Sanity migration works
Audit
We review your Drupal setup, content types, modules, integrations, SEO structure, and frontend — before anything else.
Content modelling
We design your Sanity schema from scratch, mapped to your existing content architecture and cleaned where possible.
Frontend rebuild
We rebuild your frontend in Next.js or Astro, connected to Sanity's API with real-time preview configured for your editor
Migration & validation
All content and assets migrated and validated before go-live. Every node, every field, every redirect checked.
Training & handover
Your team gets trained on Sanity Studio before launch. Full documentation included.
Frequently asked questions
Not if the migration is managed properly. We map every URL, implement redirects, and validate all metadata before go-live.
You don't need to redesign, but the frontend does need to be rebuilt in code. We use your existing design as reference and rebuild it in Next.js or Astro. If you want a redesign at the same time, we can handle that too.
Typically 8 to 16 weeks depending on content volume, module complexity, and frontend rebuild scope.
For day-to-day content — no. For structural changes to the content model or frontend, yes — same as any CMS.
Yes. The audit and content modelling phases are more involved for complex sites, but the process is the same.
