AI Update

I'll help you find GitHub repositories with page builder functionality for Sanity Studio v3 that you can use for client demonstrations.

Yes, there are several options available! Let me break down what's officially available and what you should know:

Official Sanity Templates

Sanity offers several official templates that you can use for client demos. The most relevant ones with page builder-like functionality include:

Clean Next.js + Sanity app - This is Sanity's official template featuring Visual Editing and Live Content API. While it's described as "minimal," it includes customizable pages that serve as a solid foundation for demonstrating how content editing works in real-time.

Blog with Built-in Content Editing - An official Sanity template that showcases instant previews and built-in content editing. This demonstrates how editors can build and modify content without leaving the page.

Personal Website with Built-in Content Editing - Another official template that highlights Sanity's visual editing capabilities with real-time content updates.

How Page Builders Work in Sanity

According to Sanity's page building documentation, page builders in Sanity are fundamentally arrays of objects - think of them as stackable LEGO blocks. Each block represents a reusable content module like:

  • Hero sections with headlines and CTAs
  • Feature grids showcasing products or services
  • FAQ accordions
  • Image galleries
  • Split image/text layouts

Content creators can drag, drop, and reorder these blocks to build pages without developer intervention. When you add a new block type to your schema, it immediately becomes available across all pages using that page builder.

Community Templates Worth Exploring

While browsing the templates directory, I found several community-built options that showcase page builder functionality:

  • SanityPress - A fully customizable Next.js and Sanity starter with Tailwind CSS and ready-to-use schema for rapid website development
  • Turbo Start Sanity - A battle-tested template from Roboto Studio with flexible page building capabilities
  • Ignite for Sanity - Built by 10up, this is a powerful template for content-driven marketing sites optimized for SEO and growth
  • Schema UI - Next.js Sanity Starter - Features production-ready React components with matching Sanity schemas for building dynamic pages

Learning Resources for Demos

I highly recommend Sanity's Page Building course which covers creating page builder schema types, rendering blocks on the frontend, and best practices for structuring modular content. This is excellent preparation material before client demonstrations.

Key Demo Selling Points

When showcasing these templates to clients, emphasize:

  • Visual page composition - Assemble pages from pre-built, reusable components
  • Brand consistency - Blocks maintain design standards while allowing customization
  • Speed - Pages built in a fraction of traditional development time
  • Flexibility - Each block can be individually customized without affecting others
  • Scalability - New blocks can be added as needs evolve

The official templates I mentioned are your best bet for reliable, well-maintained demonstrations that accurately represent Sanity's capabilities. Most are deployable with one click to Vercel, making them perfect for quick client demos! 😊

Like that yes 😊 Page building with structured content and live preview functionality. And i forgot to mention that what i really was asking for was something like a demo page with neutral webcontent and a sanity studio where i can demo the functionality i mentioned for clients in an easy way.
At the bottom of that page James referenced, there’s a link to the repo code. You can fork or clone that repo, configure it to your own project ID, and then you’ll have it available to demo.
Ah! Didn’t check the bottom of the page šŸ˜„ That’s perfect! Thank you both 😊
No problem! Great! ✨

Sanity is the developer-first content operating system that gives you complete control. Schema-as-code, GROQ queries, and real-time APIs mean no more workarounds or waiting for deployments. Free to start, scale as you grow.
