Sanity CMS Development

We build on Next.js and Sanity.

Most Australian studios quote WordPress. We design the content model, customise the Studio, and ship a front end that loads in under a second. Compound and Vibe Coder HQ both run on it.

You picked the stack. Now find the studio.

You chose Next.js and Sanity, or a developer set you up on it and moved on. The stack is right. The problem is finding someone who builds on it, because most agencies you call quote WordPress and steer you back to what they know.

The stack is not the hard part. The support around it is.

A half-finished Sanity project and no one to hand it to is worse than never starting one.

This is not hypothetical. Two businesses already running Sanity sites came to us this year looking for a studio to take over the build after their original developer left.

The Math
Senior Next.js contractor, day rate$800–1,200
A 15-day build at contractor rates$15,000+
Typical headless agency build$20,000+
Studio Slate, productizedfrom $5,997

Day rates: typical Australian senior contractor range, 2026. Studio Slate pricing published.

You are paying agency rates for the same Next.js and Sanity, or hiring a contractor by the day. We productized the build.

Same stack the largest teams move to when they outgrow WordPress. Fixed price, published, and yours to own at the end.

Own the whole thing.

The code, the Sanity project, the domain, the hosting. No licence to us, no per-seat platform fee, no contract that holds the site hostage. Take it to another developer tomorrow if you want to.

Your team stops raising tickets.

Content lives in the Sanity Studio. The person writing it edits in the browser and hits publish. No developer in the loop for a copy change, and no plugin to break on the next update.

You own the project

Code, Sanity dataset, domain. Move it to anyone, anytime.

Built to expand

Tokenised design system. New pages are a content job, not a rebuild.

How It Works

Four steps.
One to two weeks.

Chris Raad, founder of Studio Slate
FounderChris Raad

Builds and runs the studio's own Sanity sites, including Compound and Vibe Coder HQ. Every Sanity project he leads is modelled around how your team edits, not how a theme wants to be filled.

Discovery call

15 minutes on the content, the front end you need, and the timeline. You learn whether Sanity is the right call and whether we are the right studio.

Content model and design

We model your content in Sanity and design the front end. You review a staging link and request changes.

Build and Studio setup

We build the Next.js front end and shape the Studio around your team, so the person writing content can publish it.

Launch and handover

We switch the domain with zero downtime, hand over the code and the Sanity project, and support the site from $197/mo if you want it.
