Sitecore → Sanity

Sitecore to Sanity Migration

Sitecore was built for a different era of the web. We help enterprise teams migrate off it, onto a composable headless stack that costs less, moves faster, and gives your team back control.

Signs your team is ready to move off Sitecore

Sitecore licensing and infrastructure costs are difficult to justify year on year

Marketing teams can't make content changes without developer involvement

Upgrades and patches consume significant dev time with little visible output

Your team has outgrown Sitecore's complexity but can't move fast enough to replace it

You're being pushed toward Sitecore's SaaS products but the value proposition doesn't add up

Why enterprise teams are replacing Sitecore with Sanity

  • otter thinker

    Cost

    Sanity's pricing is transparent and scales with usage, not with arbitrary licence tiers. Most teams see significant cost reductions after moving off Sitecore, without giving up capability.

    Speed

    Sanity is API-first and headless by design. Your frontend team works independently of content, deployments are faster, and marketing teams stop waiting in dev queues.

    Control

    Sanity Studio is configured around your team's workflow. Content governance, roles, and editorial experience are all defined by you.

What we migrate

We migrate

  • All pages, components, and content types
  • Media assets and document libraries
  • Personalisation rules and content variants (where applicable)

  • Your URL structure (or carefully managed redirects)
  • Your brand and design system, migrated, not rebuilt from scratch
  • Your editorial team's ability to keep publishing during migration

How our Sitecore to Sanity migration works

Frequently asked questions

Sitecore licences typically run into six figures annually — and that's before infrastructure, upgrades, and developer overhead. Most teams we work with find that a modern headless stack delivers the same enterprise capability at a fraction of the total cost of ownership. We can help you build that comparison during discovery.

Not if the migration is managed properly. We map every URL, implement redirects, and validate metadata before going live.

Not necessarily. If your frontend is solid, we can decouple it from Sitecore and reconnect it to Sanity. If a rebuild makes sense, we can handle that too.

Enterprise migrations typically run 6 to 12 months on the base level migration, alongside the migration is change management conducted periodically with the customer's team. Following which, there will be a 2 year support period.

Yes. The audit and content modelling phases are more involved, but the process is the same.

Yes. We plan migrations to minimise disruption to your editorial team — including staging environments and phased rollouts where needed.

We audit every integration upfront — CRM, analytics, personalisation, DAM — and map each one to its replacement or equivalent in the new stack.
