Content Modeling with Sanity.io

The guide to building Structured Content with Sanity. Learn how to assemble a team and model resilient content that meets the unique needs of your team and audience.

Introduction

Structured content is a pathway to rich and engaging experiences.

When it comes to delivering those experiences plug-and-play structures don’t work – they can’t respond to the unique questions surrounding who it’s for, what it needs to do, and how it needs be worked on.

But when every organisation needs something different it’s hard to know how to start out, what to focus on, and when to stop.

This guide will help you navigate that journey from first principles through to solutions that deliver long-term value to you and your audience.

You’ll learn how to assemble a content modeling team, make sense of what you have, and solve lots of interesting problems on the way to balanced outcomes. You also learn how to test and implement your solutions with real code and content using Sanity.io.
