One of the most important ways we can help you manage your content chaos is with Sanity – Our chosen CMS partner. But as you'll learn from this page, Sanity is much more than just a content management system. - **Type:** CMS / Content operating system - **Primary benefit:** Effortless content management ## What is Sanity? Have you ever had to edit 49 different product pages because you needed to change one sentence in the FAQs for some products? That's not very fun. This is where Sanity comes in. At the core of Sanity sits the idea of structured content. Ooo, fancy! Let me tell you what that means. When you use Sanity, you stop thinking about a page as something static. Instead, you start thinking of pages as a collection of modules – Like legos! Let me give you an example: #### Video: Structured content in Sanity [![Video poster: Structured content in Sanity](https://image.mux.com/Tb3XL601SdCs18XpckyW4aD5URXzqys01tTtaG8QB4alY/thumbnail.webp?width=1600&fit_mode=preserve&time=0)](https://www.skaidigital.com/technology/sanity) A narrated walkthrough explains how reusable authors, calls to action, opening hours, and other structured content can be edited once and updated everywhere they appear. - **Duration:** 2m 21s - **Watch:** [View the video on the canonical page](https://www.skaidigital.com/technology/sanity) - **Captions:** English captions are available in the player. - **Transcript:** [Read the plain-text transcript](https://stream.mux.com/Tb3XL601SdCs18XpckyW4aD5URXzqys01tTtaG8QB4alY/text/kZozwKanYYrW01hdlrq01iQ02rQXVFZ5o9IDAIyiDCAH18n72011Uv1O1w.txt) ## An example A lego block can be something small, like a single FAQ to entire sections of a page. You build your pages by adding all these legos together. The best part? You can reuse that supper cool FW25 image section that you made on the home page – In any landing page you'd like. We make the content modules (legos) and structure it in a way that makes sense for your business. Sanity is built to be customized to your workflow and your needs. It's not a cookie-cutter solution. So, back to the example of editing 49 product FAQs. We've made a custom Parent Property Passing module that allows you to set FAQs in one centralized place. Now you just have to edit FAQs in one place – And it updates in all the places that it shows up in the site. Wonderful! #### Video: Shared and product-specific FAQs in Sanity [![Video poster: Shared and product-specific FAQs in Sanity](https://image.mux.com/pJZ76HFRS2500l7MvdCM005fml6uCvqOSsLU5paC3MTXc/thumbnail.webp?width=1600&fit_mode=preserve&time=0)](https://www.skaidigital.com/technology/sanity) A narrated Sanity Studio demo shows how default product FAQs are managed centrally while individual products can add their own reusable FAQs. - **Duration:** 2m 0s - **Watch:** [View the video on the canonical page](https://www.skaidigital.com/technology/sanity) - **Captions:** English captions are available in the player. - **Transcript:** [Read the plain-text transcript](https://stream.mux.com/pJZ76HFRS2500l7MvdCM005fml6uCvqOSsLU5paC3MTXc/text/aT3O1ReTTAQUmBM3zlCnbNM5200ut7pAOy3K4ejbJxq00IzRUphv6TEA.txt) But, Mrk. Skai-guy writing this article, I have some products that need specific FAQs. I don't want them to be shown on all PDPs. No problem, friend. All products get the default FAQs shown above. But in addition, you can add custom FAQs on specific products as well. This is content management on easy mode. Use shared FAQs where you need them. Make one-offs where you want to as well. FAQs is just one example. We do this with all of your content. Less time spent hunting down all the places something is written and needs to be updated – More time spent making meaningful content. ## Make great experiences – fast, and without a developer We're a development agency. But we want you to be able to create the content you want to without having to use us. You just want to get on with your day and create content that will drive your brand forward. ## PIM, DAM and CMS – All in one If your brand has gotten to a certain size you've probably considered adding a PIM (product information management system), DAM (digital asset management system) and a CMS. PIM just means managing product information, DAM just means managing your videos, photos and files – In case you were wondering. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to just have all these systems in one place. Well, you can. If you've not guessed it, Sanity can do all this. If you're an enterprise company with thousands of products, then you might reach for a dedicated PIM or DAM. But in most cases, Sanity can handle all of this for you. Let's take a look at how you can handle your images, files and videos within Sanity: #### Video: Managing digital assets in Sanity [![Video poster: Managing digital assets in Sanity](https://image.mux.com/W6Y8008F02bZT02KM01RK9kHraKLsn7FI01kk3DBA4ipO015k/thumbnail.webp?width=1600&fit_mode=preserve&time=0)](https://www.skaidigital.com/technology/sanity) A narrated demo tours Sanity’s media library, alt text, usage references, tags, filters, and Mux-backed video workflow. - **Duration:** 2m 19s - **Watch:** [View the video on the canonical page](https://www.skaidigital.com/technology/sanity) - **Captions:** English captions are available in the player. - **Transcript:** [Read the plain-text transcript](https://stream.mux.com/W6Y8008F02bZT02KM01RK9kHraKLsn7FI01kk3DBA4ipO015k/text/hOhxkBqkausYywiNp02Cf614c501WNi00oCFVpMG2A4v8TX200g3YSIriA.txt) ## Manage product attributes in Sanity (PIM) #### Video: Product information management in Sanity [![Video poster: Product information management in Sanity](https://image.mux.com/j02oTODLHlaSCZBzruj7L5zyoLv5sid9P00je4YfTnC00o/thumbnail.webp?width=1600&fit_mode=preserve&time=0)](https://www.skaidigital.com/technology/sanity) A narrated demo shows centralized colors, reusable product models, shared descriptions, and product-specific information in a tailored Sanity Studio. - **Duration:** 4m 24s - **Watch:** [View the video on the canonical page](https://www.skaidigital.com/technology/sanity) - **Captions:** English captions are available in the player. - **Transcript:** [Read the plain-text transcript](https://stream.mux.com/j02oTODLHlaSCZBzruj7L5zyoLv5sid9P00je4YfTnC00o/text/NmheAxY8101piXXif9Nwt53FlmkHp02kZMEgn4wBstnKtR01yfwAdt02IA.txt) All of this is possible because Sanity is built to be customized. Whatever you need to have, you can probably get done in Sanity. ## Plan Black Friday 3 Months in Advance Your e-commerce manager has probably not had more than 3 hours of sleep combined in the last 2 days before and after BFCM. Making sure that blog posts, announcement banners, landing pages, Klaviyo emails and product discounts all go live at the same time. They deserve better. You know they do. That's why we built our custom Promotion Planner module. You can schedule product discounts, landing pages, hero sections, navigations, announcement banners and blog posts to go live when you want them to – in advance – all in one place inside of Sanity. You can also schedule any other content type to go live with the built-in Content Scheduling feature in Sanity. ## Reach new audiences and increase conversions with localization 72.4% of customers said they would be more likely to buy a product with information in their own language If you're looking to expand into new markets you need to speak the language of your visitors. In Sanity you can easily translate and manage the translations of your content. And with Sanity's AI Assist feature you can now AI-translate content in the blink in a matter of seconds. Not only can you translate content with AI, you can generate entire landing pages. Paste in the content outline from your Google Doc and AI Assist will generate an entire landing page. It knows the different content modules (lego pieces) that you have available in your Sanity studio and makes a landing page with them. Not in hours – Not in minutes – In seconds. ## Controversial statement: Every business is different Wow... Super controversial. No, but really. Think about it. Every business is different. But most of the tools you use to run your company is made for the masses. It's not made your business processes and your products. Sanity is the exception. Everything is made to make your life easier and to allow your content team to make more content – better content – faster. If implementing Sanity sounds interesting – Let's have a chat! ## Sanity FAQs ### What is the advantage of using Sanity over the default CMS in Shopify? Sanity is much more than a CMS. If you just need to publish some blog posts here and there, then you don't necessarily need Sanity. Sanity really shines when you want to publish lots of content, fast, and have more flexibility in how you make that content. ### Who should consider migrating to Sanity? You should consider migrating to Sanity if you are reaching the limits of your current CMS. ### Is Sanity difficult to use? Not at all! There will be an initial period where you have to re-train your brain to not think of pages as static content – and instead think of them as lego blocks that you put together. Once you learn this Sanity is really easy and will save you lots of time! ## Contact ### Let's talk about what you're trying to solve Book a quick call to sense-check the problem and see whether we're the right team to help.
