Good CMS to write my blog.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We utilized sanity for preparing blog content, as sanity is headless CMS, so a good fit. It gives us a very nice interface to write text and insert images. We then fired graphQL queries to fetch content and load our blog pages. They have good youtube tutorials as well, and a very active community since it is open source.

Pros

  • GraphQL support.
  • Nice Intuitive Web interface to write blogs.
  • They provide us a subdomain on their cloud so that we can start testing our things directly on the web.

Cons

  • pricing needs a revision.
  • sanity editor also need some improvement.
  • I should be able to host the sanity studio on my premise or infra.

Return on Investment

  • I don't have to host my blog content on some dedicated location, as they provide a subdomain like company.sanity.studio , this is a good thing.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It was decided to replace the old CMS system with Sanity in our company. It used to take a lot of time and effort to do repetitive work prior to Sanity CMS for our marketing department. Our front-end application displays templates for different types of content created using Sanity CMS. Through scheduled publishing, product owners can create multiple banners and promotion pages and publish them across numerous environments automatically, and duplicate content can be created automatically.

Pros

  • Drafting and publishing content is intuitive and non-technical.
  • Formatting content is straight-forward and painless.
  • Content--both published and yet-to-be published--can be intuitively managed, edited, tagged, approved, and stored.
  • Available gadgets and modules suit the needs of your site and are easily incorporated onto the page.

Cons

  • CMS can be a bit hard to work with for the new users
  • Documentation should include more examples of the output and code along with the output.
  • Custom inputs are quite difficult to start and work with.

Return on Investment

  • It helped us to create an excellent developer experience and good experience for their editors as well
  • Sanity has created an incredible platform that effortlessly balances good DX for content modeling and good UI for content editing.
  • Pay-as-you-go hybrid service, no need to worry about reaching a cap and having to suddenly pay $500
