Yep, Sanity fits right into the CMS category. But it’s not your average Joe. It’s what we call “headless,” meaning it takes care of all the backend stuff for your digital presence, but the way it looks and feels is up to you. This opens up a world of possibilities, from websites to mobile apps and everything in between. Plus, you can get creative with the frontend using a variety of languages and frameworks like PHP, Java, Python, Ruby, React, Angular, Next.js, Vue.js, and more.
It’s a classic case of “it depends.” If you’re running a simpler operation with just one website and limited resources, a traditional CMS might be your best bet. But if you’re juggling multiple digital platforms and want flexibility, a headless CMS like Sanity is where it’s at. Think websites, mobile apps, digital kiosks—you name it. If your content needs to be everywhere, your best bet is going headless.
You bet! Sanity isn’t just for blogs and brochures—it’s a powerhouse for e-commerce, too. Many big brands rely on Sanity to power their online sales, and you can build your own e-commerce empire right on top of it. Plus, if you’re already comfortable with Shopify, you’ll see that Sanity plays well with it, too. In fact, Shopify even invested in Sanity. In fact, Sanity was the first CMS to launch an app for Shopify’s headless commerce framework, Hydrogen.
Sanity Studio is the name given to Sanity’s open-source editing environment, and it’s where all the magic happens. Built with React (JavaScript), it’s like a blank canvas to unleash creativity. Just like we craft the user-facing web app, we can design and develop the editor interface to fit your exact needs. Each Sanity Studio instance is like a fingerprint—unique and tailored specifically for each client. This flexibility is a game-changer. We can integrate pretty much anything into the Sanity Studio, from pulling in key metrics from Google Analytics to giving editors the power to create newsletters right from within the Studio.
Sanity takes data safety seriously. You can backup datasets daily to hourly or provide your own schedule and store data on your own offsite storage, AWS S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, Backblaze, any other S3, Dropbox, Google Drive or Azure.
All the content on Sanity is protected by end-to-end encryption, but it also provides controls over user access to stored data. This helps developers and businesses maintain high-level security measures while still maintaining collaboration.
Not entirely. Sanity Content Lake (the back end of your site) cannot be self-hosted as it’s a cloud-based SAAS service hosted by Sanity on Amazon Web Services. But Sanity Studio (the front end of your site) can be hosted wherever you like.
With customizable permissions and SSL encryption for data at rest and in transit, regular penetration testing, and compliance with industry standards like GDPR, you can be rest assured that Sanity’s security is top-notch.
Sanity provides a generous free tier with 2 user roles, 2 datasets (public), unlimited content types and locales, customizable content workspaces, hosted, real-time content database, live previews and visual editing tools, and decent enough usage quota. If you’re looking to scale up in the future with additional collaboration needs, you can pay-as-you-go or level up to a paid plan whenever you’re ready.
It really depends on your digital needs and what you’re trying to achieve. According to reviews from several hundred companies on g2.com, the best headless CMS in 2024 is Sanity. In addition, Gartner has ranked it as the leading headless CMS.
