Hire the Best Sanity Developers
Basirhat, India
⭐ Figma to HTML/CSS, done right. I hand-code fast custom websites and migrate sites off Squarespace, Wix & AI builders (Lovable, Framer) to Netlify with Sanity headless CMS. Custom booking systems included. 100% Job Success, 5-star reviews. No page builders, no bloated templates. One partner from your design to a live, high-converting site, backed by 100% Job Success and 5-star reviews. If your current site is slow, outdated, or stuck on a template (or an AI builder) that's holding it back, I'll redesign and rebuild it into something that loads instantly and actually converts. Here's exactly how I bring your vision to life: 🟢 Figma to Custom-Coded Websites (Figma to HTML/CSS) I take your raw idea, brief, or Figma design and build a polished, responsive, pixel-perfect website by hand — clean HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Tailwind. Instead of generic templates or no-code builders, every site is purpose-built for your brand, fast on every device, and structured for strong performance and SEO. 🟢 Website Migration & AI-Builder Escape Stuck on a slow, costly, or locked-in platform? I move you to a faster, cheaper, more flexible stack — Netlify + Jamstack, with your own domain. Squarespace, WordPress, Wix, or an AI site builder (Lovable, Bolt, Framer, v0) → a clean, custom-coded site that's fully yours and free to scale. 🟢 Headless CMS / Jamstack Builds (Sanity + Netlify) A Jamstack site wired to a Sanity headless CMS, so you can edit your own content without touching code — or paying a developer after handoff. 🟢 Custom Booking & Scheduling Systems Multi-step booking and appointment-scheduling flows built into your site — a custom system that turns visits into booked jobs. ♦ The Advantage: One Partner, Design to Live Site Because I personally handle both the design and the engineering, you skip the friction of managing multiple freelancers. You get one point of contact who turns your goals into clean code — spotting the right stack, host, and CMS choices early, preserving your exact brand, and delivering a flawless live product. I don't just execute the brief — I flag what makes it better before we start. 🔶 What I Can Help You With Figma to Website (Figma to HTML/CSS) — Your Figma design, hand-coded into a fast, responsive, pixel-perfect site — custom HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Tailwind. No page builders, no templates. Website & Platform Migration — Move your site onto a faster, cheaper Netlify/Jamstack stack with your own domain — from Squarespace, WordPress, or Wix to clean custom code. Escape AI Site Builders (Lovable, Bolt, Framer, v0) — Built on an AI website builder and locked into its hosting? I export and rebuild it as a clean, custom-coded static site on Netlify — faster, cheaper, fully yours. Headless CMS Builds (Sanity + Netlify) — A Jamstack site connected to a Sanity headless CMS, so your team can update content with zero code. Local Business & Contractor Websites — Lead-generating sites for roofing, fencing, detailing, and other local-service trades — custom-coded, fast, and built to book jobs. Personal Brand & Portfolio Sites — Conversion-focused websites for creators, coaches, and personal brands that attract the right clients. Landing Pages & Marketing Sites — High-converting landing pages from your Figma or a brief — custom-coded, responsive, fast-loading, built to turn visitors into leads. Website Redesigns & Rebuilds — Modernize a slow, outdated site with a clean redesign that lifts performance, conversion, and user experience. Custom Booking & Scheduling Systems — Multi-step booking flows and appointment systems built directly into your site. Custom Code & Dynamic Widgets — Dynamic, API-driven content (live feeds, sliders, custom features) injected into Squarespace, Webflow, Framer, or Carrd sites. Component & Feature Development — A new section, interactive component, or feature added to your existing codebase — cleanly, without breaking what works. Why Clients Work With Me ✅ Figma-first — design approved before a single line of code ✅ No templates, no page builders — every build hand-coded for your brand ✅ Performance by default — fast load times, clean code, responsive everywhere ✅ Strategic input — I flag the better stack, host, or CMS before we start, not just take orders ✅ One point of contact — design and development by the same person, no handoff gaps Tech Stack Build: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Tailwind CSS — hand-coded, no page builders Design: Figma, UI/UX Design, Responsive Web Design Jamstack & CMS: Sanity, Headless CMS, Netlify, Vercel, Static Site Generators Migration: Netlify/Jamstack migrations, static export, custom domain & DNS, Git/GitHub, continuous deployment Also handle: React-based migrations — export and rebuild React/AI-builder sites (Lovable, Bolt, v0) as fast static sites Need a frontend partner who takes your project from Figma to a fast, custom-coded, live website — or migrates your existing one onto a better stack — and flags what ma

Birganj, Nepal
5 years building Shopify and BigCommerce stores for brands across the US, UK, and Australia — from luxury jewelry and watch retailers to B2B wholesale platforms and DTC supplement brands. I currently lead ecommerce development at a digital agency, and before that worked directly with a London-based team on client-facing projects under tight deadlines. I don't just build sites — I build revenue engines. If your store isn't converting at the level it should, I identify the bottlenecks and engineer high-impact fixes. Core expertise: • Platforms: Shopify (Plus, Hydrogen), BigCommerce (Stencil, Catalyst, B2B) • Headless commerce: Next.js, React, Sanity CMS, Tailwind CSS, GraphQL, Framer Motion • Conversion & performance: technical audits, PageSpeed optimization, checkout streamlining, custom CRO-focused layouts • Technical: REST & GraphQL API integrations, platform migrations, Klaviyo, PCI compliance How I work: (1) Audit & identify — I dig into your store to uncover speed issues, design flaws, and technical debt. (2) Strategy — we define a clear plan to improve UX and conversion. (3) Execute — I ship pixel-perfect, clean code built to scale. Recent work includes a headless Shopify Hydrogen + WordPress build (Ayrburn), a Shopify subscriptions and bundles store (BDS Animal Health), and a BigCommerce migration with custom widgets (The GallBottle). Clients describe me as professional, communicative, and reliable — reflected in my 100% Job Success score. Whether you need a quick audit, a custom build, or a full migration, message me with your goals and I'll map out the path.

Sanity developer hiring guide
Sanity developers help businesses turn content strategy into structured, reusable content systems for websites, apps, product catalogs, editorial workflows, and multi-channel publishing. Hiring a skilled Sanity developer can help your team model content clearly, support editors with a tailored Studio experience, and connect content to modern front-end frameworks while keeping content structured for modern, multi-channel delivery.
What does a Sanity developer do?
A Sanity developer builds, customizes, and maintains Sanity-based content management systems so teams can create, manage, query, and publish structured content. Their work typically includes designing content schemas, customizing Sanity Studio for editorial workflows, connecting Sanity’s Content Lake to a website or application, writing GROQ or GraphQL queries, setting up APIs and webhooks, managing migrations, and configuring roles and permissions for team access where the Sanity plan allows.
Common deliverables include schema design files, customized Sanity Studio configuration, API integration code, migration scripts with validation reports, and setup documentation. Depending on project scope, a Sanity developer may collaborate with front-end developers building the user interface, content strategists defining content models, or marketing teams managing publishing workflows.
How to hire a Sanity developer on Upwork
Hiring a Sanity developer on Upwork means defining your content requirements, posting a role-specific job, evaluating candidates against similar CMS work, interviewing for technical judgment, and agreeing on scope before work begins. A clear hiring process helps candidates understand the system you need and helps you compare proposals based on deliverables rather than vague CMS experience.
Step 1: Post a job
Start by describing what you need built, improved, or migrated. A strong Sanity developer job post includes:
Project scope and deliverables, such as new setup, schema design, migration, or front-end integration
Current tech stack and target front-end framework, such as React, Next.js, Vue, or Gatsby
Content model requirements, including product catalogs, blogs, localization, or references between content types
Migration needs, including the source CMS, content volume, transformation rules, and validation expectations
Success criteria, such as tested queries, approved content types, working previews, or completed editor training
Timeline, review process, and budget structure for hourly or fixed-price milestones
You can use the Job Post Generator, powered by Uma™, Upwork’s Mindful AI, to create a customizable draft. Describe your project in a few sentences, then refine the draft with your content types, integrations, timeline, and deliverables. You can also review job description templates to structure your post around responsibilities, required skills, and success criteria.
Step 2: Evaluate candidates
Review profiles and proposals for Sanity experience that matches your project type. Focus on:
Portfolio examples showing Sanity projects, headless CMS builds, or similar content architecture work
Code samples or GitHub repositories demonstrating schema design, GROQ queries, GraphQL use, or API integrations
Proposal quality, including how the candidate handles content modeling, migration risk, validation, and handoff
Front-end framework fit, especially if your project uses Next.js, React, Vue, or Gatsby
Client reviews that mention documentation, communication, collaboration with non-technical teams, or reliable delivery
Risk checks, including availability, time zone overlap for reviews, quality assurance process, and access requirements after contract start
Upwork’s shortlist and comparison features can help you organize candidates side by side before scheduling interviews. You can also look for talent badges such as Top Rated or Expert-Vetted when you want additional signals from work history and client feedback.
Step 3: Interview your top choices
Interview your top candidates with a structured 20-30 minute agenda that validates Sanity expertise, communication style, and practical judgment. Use the conversation to test how they think through content models, not just whether they have used Sanity before.
Ask questions such as:
How would you structure schemas for our content types, references, and reusable modules?
How do you decide when to use GROQ versus GraphQL for a Sanity project?
What steps would you take to reduce migration risk and validate imported content?
How would you set up previews, webhooks, or publishing workflows for editors?
How do you document schemas, queries, and editorial workflows for handoff?
How do you estimate timelines when stakeholders are still finalizing content requirements?
You can use Instant Interviews to collect structured video responses before live discussions. Upwork’s built-in messaging, audio, and video tools can also help keep interview communication in one place.
Step 4: Agree on scope and begin work
Before work starts, finalize the contract so deliverables, review points, communication expectations, and payment terms are clear. A well-scoped Sanity contract should define what the freelancer will build, what you will provide, and how changes will be reviewed.
Before the project starts:
List final deliverables, such as schema files, Studio configuration, integration code, migration scripts, and documentation
Set milestones for fixed-price work or weekly hour expectations for hourly work
Define success criteria, such as content types validated, queries tested, previews working, and editor training complete
Confirm communication cadence, including updates, review meetings, and stakeholder feedback windows
Document the revision process and how scope changes will be approved
For fixed-price work, fund milestones before work begins so each deliverable has a clear review and approval point

How much does hiring a Sanity developer cost?
Sanity developer project costs often range from about $1,200 for a focused setup to $25,000 or more for complex migrations, enterprise workflows, or multi-site implementations. These planning ranges vary based on content volume, schema complexity, front-end integration needs, migration risk, turnaround time, and the level of Sanity architecture experience required.
This table outlines planning ranges for common Sanity project types, typical scope, and the experience level usually required.
Starter Sanity setup
$1,200-$3,500 /project
- New Sanity project configuration
- 3-5 content types with basic fields
- Sanity Studio setup for editors
Headless CMS implementation
$4,000-$12,000 /project
- Structured content schema design
- GROQ or GraphQL query configuration
- Front-end integration with Next.js, React, or similar
Migration or schema refactor
$8,000-$25,000+ /project
- Migration plan and data export scripts
- Reference mapping and content transformation
- Validation reports and import support
Ongoing CMS optimization and support
$2,000-$6,000 /month
- Schema improvements and new content types
- Troubleshooting and bug fixes
- Editor training and documentation updates
These estimates are most useful when you pair them with a clear scope, sample content, and defined approval points. You can review web developer hourly rates and software developer pricing for comparable development skills, then adjust based on whether your project requires migration planning, custom editorial workflows, localization, or complex front-end integration.
FAQs about Sanity developers
Frequently asked questions
Is hiring a Sanity developer worth it?
Hiring a Sanity developer can be worth it when your content needs to be structured, reusable, and delivered across websites, apps, product pages, or editorial channels. Sanity’s Content Lake is designed to store structured content that is queryable, referenceable, and ready for delivery across channels, so implementation quality affects how easily your team can publish, reuse, and scale content over time.
A practical perspective is to compare the cost of expert setup with the cost of rework. Poor schema decisions can create editor friction, duplicate content, migration problems, or hard-to-maintain front-end queries. A skilled Sanity developer can help you make those decisions earlier, when they are easier to adjust.
What skills should a Sanity developer have?
A Sanity developer should have experience with Sanity Studio, content schema design, GROQ or GraphQL queries, JavaScript or TypeScript, APIs, and front-end frameworks such as React, Next.js, Vue, or Gatsby. Strong candidates can also explain how they handle references, taxonomies, Portable Text customization, previews, webhooks, version control, and documentation.
How do I evaluate a Sanity developer’s content modeling experience?
To evaluate a Sanity developer’s content modeling experience, ask candidates to walk through a past project where they designed schemas for connected content. Listen for how they handled references between content types, reusable components, localization, validation rules, and editorial workflows.
What should I prepare before a Sanity project starts?
To begin a Sanity project, you should prepare content types, sample entries, required fields, publishing workflows, front-end requirements, and any migration details from your current CMS. You can share general requirements and sample content during hiring, but credentials, production access, private datasets, and sensitive data should wait until the contract starts.
After the contract begins, provide access in stages based on what the freelancer needs for each milestone. This reduces risk while still giving the developer enough context to configure schemas, test queries, and validate the implementation.
Should I use hourly or fixed-price for Sanity work?
Use fixed-price contracts with milestones for Sanity projects with defined deliverables, such as a new setup, schema build, front-end integration, or planned migration. Use hourly contracts for ongoing support, schema optimization, troubleshooting, or projects where requirements may change during development.
As covered earlier, the best choice depends on how stable your requirements are. Many teams start with fixed-price milestones for the initial build, then move to hourly support for improvements, new content types, and editor workflow updates.
