Where Sanity excels over WordPress

Flexible content modelling

Sanity provides a highly flexible schema-based content model, allowing users to define custom content structures without being tied to predefined templates. This is especially useful for teams that need to build complex content relationships, unlike WordPress, which relies heavily on plugins for customization.

Start modelling

Real-time collaboration

Sanity offers real-time collaboration features out of the box, enabling teams to work simultaneously on content with live updates. It also allows for custom editorial workflows tailored to specific needs, giving more control than WordPress's standard content creation flow.

Start collaborating

Scalability and performance

Sanity’s headless CMS architecture is designed for scalability, making it easier to handle large amounts of content and high traffic without performance issues. Developers have more flexibility in optimizing performance compared to WordPress, which can become slower with complex plugins and themes.

Start scaling

We'd outgrown our WordPress setup as our events grew and became more complex. Moving to a modern, future-proof headless solution using Sanity and Next.js means we move much faster with new initiatives. It only took two days to launch a new website for our first US conference!

Sanity has set the new standard for managing content

Being experienced with CMSes like Contentful, Craft, Wordpress, Strapi, when using Sanity it feels like most of the annoying aspects of all those platforms have been considered and solved...What's most *surprisingly* great about Sanity is how thorough it is in its approach – from its well-documented developer experience to its minimalistic and user-friendly user interface.

Working with WordPress for 10 years, migrated to Sanity and never looked back

We love the control Sanity provides to make a custom integration with other JAMstack software. We have built custom integrations with Mailchimp, Vimeo, and NextJS. It makes for a tailored experience for our Clients, who almost all have transitioned away Wordpress. Not to mention we love groq.

Very powerful and highly customizable headless CMS

Sanity has nailed what a headless/composable CMS should be. It gives us all the features we could imagine wanting from our content layer, without ever getting in our way. The fact that the Studio can be embedded into our own Next.js application and customized at will using React opens up a world of opportunities to use this not only as a replacement for our old CMS (WordPress) but for all kinds of other content workflows we haven't even imagined yet.
