Sanity

WordPress couples content and presentation, so its SEO ceiling is set by the theme and a stack of plugins. Sanity is headless: content is structured data we deliver through a modern frontend, which means faster Core Web Vitals, clean server-rendered markup and per-field control over titles, meta and schema. You publish a fact once and reuse it everywhere, instead of duplicating it across pages. We unpack the trade-offs in detail in our guide on headless CMS and SEO.

Yes. We wire live draft previews and Visual Editing so editors see the real page, with real data and final styling, before anything is published — no guessing between the editing form and the live site. Multiple people can collaborate on the same document in real time, and validation rules and guardrails keep content brand-correct without a developer ticket. The Studio itself is tailored to your team, so the workflow matches how you actually work.

Cost and timeline depend on how many content types we model and how much custom frontend the design needs, not on per-seat CMS licensing — Sanity's own pricing is generous and usage-based. A focused marketing site typically runs four to eight weeks, while a larger build with bilingual content, complex page-building and integrations takes longer. The biggest variable is content modelling, so we scope that first and give you a fixed, phased estimate rather than an open-ended bill. It is delivered as part of our web development service.

Both are strong headless platforms, and we build on Contentful too. We tend to recommend Sanity when you want a deeply customisable editing experience, real-time collaboration and the freedom to shape the Studio and content model exactly to your business — its GROQ query layer also makes complex, performant data fetching straightforward. Contentful can be the better fit for very large enterprises that prefer a more locked-down, configuration-first platform. We pick the tool to suit your team and roadmap, not the other way round, and we will tell you honestly when another CMS is the safer call.

Yes. We migrate from WordPress, Contentful and bespoke CMSes by mapping your existing content into a clean Sanity model and scripting the import, so you keep your history and URLs without re-typing anything. Sanity integrates over its API with whatever you already run — e-commerce, CRM, analytics, search or AI — and the content can power your website and any future channel from the same source. After launch we offer ongoing support and retainers covering schema changes, new page types, performance and editor training, because content needs evolve. You can see a full migration and build in our SAAS Properties case study.

Yes. Karve delivers Sanity headless CMS development for businesses across Dubai and the wider UAE, and we run our own site on it. We build field-level English and Arabic localisation so bilingual content stays in sync on one document and right-to-left layouts render correctly for the GCC market. That makes Sanity a practical choice for regional brands that need to publish credibly in both languages from a single, structured source.
