Sanity CMS development agency
Let's build your enterprise website with Sanity
Lucky Media is a Sanity CMS agency, founded in 2014, that builds marketing websites on Sanity with Next.js or Astro for US startups and enterprise teams.
Recent Sanity builds include Duende's new site, live in 46 days, and migrated Flow Digital from Webflow. Projects start at $25k.
We've built enterprise sites for industry leaders Microsoft, ServiceNow, and Chainguard.
Is your current CMS working against your team?
Book a free technical audit call with Erin Dalzell, our Client Manager. You'll leave with a clear picture of what's broken and how to fix it, whether you work with us or not.
We solve the bottlenecks, not just the code.
Most agencies treat the CMS as an afterthought. They configure it once, hand it over, and disappear. We don't.
Every content block your team can't edit independently, every schema change that requires a pull request, every publish that needs a developer on standby. These are revenue problems disguised as tooling problems.
Most marketing teams accept this friction as normal.
They shouldn’t!
We are a specialized firm that exclusively builds in modern, headless ecosystems.
We choose Sanity because its code-defined Studio and real-time collaborative backend are the gold standard for teams that need speed, structure, and editorial autonomy at the same time.
When you work with us, you're getting a partner that understands how to turn your content infrastructure into a competitive advantage and improve SEO.
Designed for marketing autonomy
Your website is your most important sales tool. We build every Sanity project with three business goals in mind:
Eliminating developer bottlenecks
We configure Sanity Studio around your team's exact workflow, custom document types, desk structures, and publishing pipelines. Your editors can launch campaigns without filing a ticket.
Enterprise-grade reliability
Whether it's a product launch or a high-stakes campaign, your Sanity-powered site runs on a global edge infrastructure backed by Sanity's own CDN and your deployment platform of choice.
SEO as a competitive edge
We don't bolt on SEO after the fact; we build it into the architecture. Sanity's structured content model pairs with Next.js SSG and ISR to deliver perfect Core Web Vitals that protect your organic rankings and maximize ad ROI.
Outgrowing your current vendor?
The content bottleneck
Your team needs a developer present to make structural changes, schedule a campaign, or add a new content type, killing marketing velocity.
The performance ceiling
Your current CMS is slow. It's hurting your Core Web Vitals, your SEO, and your paid acquisition costs.
The inflexibility trap
Your CMS was configured once at launch and never evolved. Now it doesn't match how your team actually works.
Lucky Media has been an excellent partner and has gone above and beyond to ensure our website rebrand launched on time and with a high bar of excellence. And it was a very tight timeline!
Throughout the project, Lokman and team brought helpful expertise to ensure the site was built the right way to optimize performance, usability, and accessibility. Lucky Media is a trusted partner of our web team here at Chainguard!

Growth @ Chainguard
Working with Lucky Media has been an absolute dream! Partnering closely with Lokman and his team, they’ve taken our website from ’broken’ to highly functional in just a matter of months.
What used to take us weeks only takes a few minutes, and we’re executing projects faster than ever. The team is also incredibly proactive, communicative, and always available when we need something. We are so grateful to work with Lucky Media!
If you’ve ever felt like your website was stuck in a never-ending maze of issues, Lucky Media is the team you want leading you out. Our Statamic site had just come out of development with another firm, and it was far from ideal.
Lucky Media stepped in, quickly took control, and uncovered issues we didn’t even know existed. Thanks to their expertise, our site is no longer stuck, it’s faster, more efficient, and easier to manage than ever.

Using Sanity for enterprise projects
Sanity is a wonderful choice for large-scale enterprise projects. Its fully customizable Studio and real-time collaborative backend give development and content teams the flexibility to work together without getting in each other's way.
What sets Sanity apart is that the entire editing environment is code-defined and version-controlled, which means your content infrastructure evolves cleanly alongside your product. No UI drift, no undocumented customizations.
This allows your business to move faster, launch new initiatives, and stay ahead of the competition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Sanity is a modern, developer-centric content platform with an open-source editing environment called Sanity Studio, built in React. The studio connects to Sanity's proprietary hosted backend, called Content Lake, which stores all your content as structured data and exposes it via powerful APIs, GROQ and GraphQL, so you can deliver it to any digital channel you choose.
Pairing Sanity's flexible content backend with Next.js on the frontend creates a high-performance, developer-friendly stack. You get the benefits of server-side rendering (SSR) and static site generation (SSG), resulting in fast page loads, strong SEO, and a seamless user experience. All while giving editors a real-time, collaborative workspace.
Yes, we have a strong track record of delivering enterprise-grade projects with demanding content requirements and tight timelines. Our experience across high-traffic client sites gives us the processes and technical depth to handle complexity without slowing down. Check our case studies to learn more.
Absolutely. We have migrated websites from platforms including WordPress, Webflow, and other headless CMSs to Sanity. We map your existing content model to a clean Sanity schema and execute the transition with no data loss and zero downtime.
Security is a top priority across every project we deliver. We follow best practices for locking down your Sanity dataset, securing your API tokens, and hardening the frontend application. We can also collaborate with your internal security team to meet your company's compliance requirements.
We excel at large-scale work. Our team has the processes and technical depth to manage complex content models, multi-region deployments, and the performance and security demands that enterprise clients require. We deliver robust, scalable Sanity solutions built to grow with your business.
Project costs depend on scope, complexity, and your specific requirements. After an initial consultation, we provide a detailed and transparent breakdown so there are no surprises. Our goal is always to deliver a solution that generates a strong return on your investment.
Consistent maintenance keeps your website accurate, secure, and performing at its best. It leads to improved Core Web Vitals, stronger search rankings, and more traffic, directly contributing to better online visibility and a higher-quality user experience.
Timelines vary by scope, but speed and efficiency are core to how we work. We set a realistic schedule at the start of every engagement and are committed to delivering on time and on budget, without cutting corners on quality. For example, we delivered a full enterprise website for Chainguard in just 30 days.
Sanity Studio is one of the most customizable editing environments available, and we build it specifically around your team's workflow. We can tailor the interface, document structure, and publishing pipeline so that creating and updating content feels intuitive. And we provide training and documentation to get your team up to speed quickly.
Sanity is an excellent foundation for headless commerce. We integrate it with platforms like Shopify, BigCommerce, or Stripe to create fast, flexible online stores. Because the content layer is fully decoupled, you can craft shopping experiences that simply aren't possible with traditional, monolithic e-commerce platforms.
Sanity's decoupled, API-first model separates your content from the presentation layer entirely. Combined with Next.js, this means your pages can be statically generated or server-rendered with optimized data fetching, resulting in fast load times, excellent Core Web Vitals scores, and better SEO outcomes.
Sanity's flexibility makes it a strong fit for businesses across many sectors: e-commerce, SaaS, media, education, non-profits, and more. Its open architecture and customizable Studio make it particularly well-suited to teams with complex or evolving content requirements.
Yes, we offer retainer-based support and maintenance to keep your Sanity website secure, up-to-date, and performing optimally. Our retainer clients get a dedicated team available for ongoing development, bug fixes, Studio enhancements, and technical support.
We are passionate about the tools we work with. Our team actively follows Sanity's release notes, community discussions, and ecosystem updates, and we apply that knowledge directly to client projects. Staying current is not a checkbox for us, it's how we ensure we're always building at the standard our clients deserve.
Our key differentiator is our ability to deliver high-stakes, enterprise-level projects with exceptional speed and quality, and then stick around as a true long-term partner. We are not just developers; we are invested in your success. We are transparent, direct, and committed to building relationships that last well beyond the initial launch.
We implement build-time data fetching and edge caching so your live site is never dependent on a real-time API call for every visitor. By pre-rendering pages with Next.js and serving them from a CDN, your site remains fully functional and fast even if Sanity's API experiences latency or a brief outage.
With Sanity, your entire Studio configuration (document types, fields, and desk structure) lives in your codebase and is version-controlled in Git. Schema changes are deployed through your normal CI/CD pipeline, which means your content model and your frontend code are always in sync, with no manual clicking required.
We build a centralized API middleware layer or a GraphQL Mesh. This allows your frontend to make a single, clean request that stitches together content from Sanity with real-time data from your internal systems, reducing client-side complexity and keeping the architecture easy to reason about.
We architect for efficiency from day one. By caching GROQ query responses at the CDN level, on Vercel or Cloudflare, we ensure that high visitor volumes don't translate into excessive API calls. The goal is a site that is "heavy on cache, light on requests," so costs remain predictable as you grow.
That is precisely what Sanity's content model is designed for. Because content is stored as structured, presentation-agnostic data, a single update in Sanity can propagate to your website, your iOS app, your email templates, and any other channel simultaneously, delivering a consistent omnichannel experience without duplicating effort.
We configure Sanity's internationalization support and can integrate automated translation tools like Lokalise or Phrase directly into the Studio workflow. Your team can manage locale-specific variants of every field and asset, while regional editors have the autonomy to adapt content for their market without touching the global master version.
We build a structured Component Library using Sanity's document types and array-based reference fields. This gives your editors the ability to assemble pages from a defined set of pre-built, on-brand blocks (Hero sections, CTAs, Galleries, and more) without the risk of breaking the design or introducing performance issues. Portable Text handles rich text within those blocks, while the page-builder pattern itself is driven by arrays of referenced object types.
We use Sanity's built-in image transformation pipeline, served through Sanity's own global CDN. This allows us to dynamically resize, crop, and convert assets to modern formats like WebP on the fly. Your team can upload full-resolution source files, and every visitor will receive the exact image size their device needs, nothing larger.
Because Sanity stores content as structured, portable JSON data, you retain full ownership and are never truly locked in. We also write frontend code following a clean separation of concerns, meaning the logic that fetches data is kept distinct from the logic that displays it. Moving to a different headless CMS in the future becomes a targeted data-mapping exercise rather than a ground-up rebuild.
Yes, with some nuance depending on your Sanity plan. Scheduled Drafts is for scheduling individual pages or documents to go live at a precise date and time. This is built into all paid plans with no extra setup required.
Content Releases is for coordinated campaign launches where you need to bundle multiple pages, banners, and blog posts into a single release and publish them all simultaneously at a scheduled moment. Your marketing team can prepare everything in advance, preview how the full site will look before it goes live, and trigger the entire release at once, no developer needed on standby. This is available as an add-on on the Enterprise plan.
