Finding PHP talent is expensive, major version upgrades consume quarters, and your editors dread the admin interface. We migrate your content to Sanity: TypeScript schemas, structured content, and an editorial experience your team will actually use.
PHP talent is expensive and scarce
Drupal requires developers who understand its module system, hooks, render arrays, and configuration management. That's a specialized PHP skill set that commands a premium, and the talent pool shrinks every year as developers move to TypeScript and React.
Major version upgrades are their own projects
Drupal 7 to 8 was a rewrite. 8 to 9 required module rebuilds. 9 to 10 brought more breaking changes. Each major version demands weeks of migration work, module updates, and regression testing. You're upgrading the platform instead of building features.
Module dependency creates fragility
Enterprise Drupal sites accumulate dozens of contributed and custom modules with complex interdependencies. Updating one module can break three others. Your site's stability depends on a web of third-party code you don't control.
Editors avoid the admin interface
Drupal's admin UI is powerful but intimidating. Content editors find it slow, cluttered, and confusing. The result: editors go through developers instead of using the CMS directly, creating bottlenecks for every content change.
TypeScript and React instead of PHP
Your content infrastructure runs on the same stack as modern web applications. Hire from a larger talent pool, use modern tooling, and stop context-switching between PHP and JavaScript.
An editing experience editors actually use
Sanity Studio is clean, fast, and customized for your team's workflow. Custom inputs, live preview, real-time collaboration, and validation rules that guide instead of confuse. Your editors go direct instead of through developers.
No more version upgrade migrations
Sanity handles platform updates transparently. No multi-month upgrade projects between major versions. Your schemas are versioned in your codebase, and the platform evolves without breaking your setup.
Structured content without module overhead
Content stored as structured data you can query with GROQ. No render arrays, no hook system, no module dependency chains. Just schemas, documents, and a powerful query language.

Sanity is fully hosted and globally distributed. The platform manages servers, databases, and caching. Your ops burden drops to zero.
Role-based access at the document and field level. No Drupal permission matrix with hundreds of checkboxes. Set up access controls that are readable and maintainable.
We untangle your content from Drupal's module dependencies and restructure it as clean Sanity data. This is a 6–12 week process. We've already scoped for the complexity.
We catalog all content types, fields, taxonomies, Paragraphs, Views, media entities, and custom module data in your Drupal site. You get a complete map of what's being migrated and what's being rebuilt.
We design Sanity schemas that capture your Drupal content structure while stripping away module-dependent complexity. Paragraphs become array blocks. Taxonomies become referenced documents. Custom fields become typed schema fields.
We extract content via Drupal's JSON:API, direct database queries, or custom migration scripts, depending on your Drupal version and module setup. Whatever method gets the cleanest data.
Drupal's formatted text, entity references, Paragraphs, media entities, and taxonomy terms all get converted to Sanity equivalents. Every relationship is preserved.
We replace Drupal's theming layer with a modern frontend: Next.js, Astro, or your framework of choice. Your design carries over or gets modernized. No more Twig templates.
Full content comparison, URL mapping with 301 redirects, regression testing, and coordinated DNS cutover. We monitor post-launch and train your editorial team on the new Studio.
We handle migrations from all major CMS platforms to Sanity, preserving your content, assets, and SEO rankings.
Book a free consultation and we\u2019ll audit your current setup, map your content to Sanity schemas, and provide a migration plan with timeline and cost estimate. No obligation.
