Sanity vs DragDrop
Sanity is a genuinely great headless CMS. Flexible schemas, structured content done right. It also assumes you have a frontend project to build, deploy, and keep alive. DragDrop skips that part: editor, hosting, and domain together, and the blocks are real code you can open in the studio.
One site per project
Many sites, one platform
TL;DR
Sanity is a content backend for your code. DragDrop is the whole website in one place.
Use Sanity if…
- Your developers want schemas as code and full control of the frontend.
- You have an existing app and just need content flowing into it.
- Structured content is the product, not the website.
Use DragDrop if…
- You do not want a separate frontend project to build and deploy.
- You want hosting, domains, and SSL included on every plan.
- Your editors want drag-and-drop pages, not just fields in a form.
- Your developers still get code: open any block, build new ones in the studio.
Key differences.
The frontend is included
With Sanity, the website itself is your project to build and keep deployed. With DragDrop the site is just there: rendered, hosted, on your domain with SSL.
Structured content, still
Collections handle projects, listings, menus, and anything else with a shape. Editors manage them visually, and listing blocks render them automatically.
Developers are not locked out
Every block is a real component you can open as code in the studio. Build custom blocks in the code editor and publish them without redeploying anything.
The same job, two ways.
Shipping a page for one client in Sanity, and for every client at once in the DragDrop studio.

Switching from Sanity, in three moves.
Most teams run both platforms in parallel for a week and cut over on a quiet afternoon.
Bring your content
Export pages, posts, and media from Sanity. Our importer maps them onto blocks, and our team helps with the fiddly parts when you ask.
Rebuild with blocks
Recompose your layouts from 90+ ready-made blocks. Anything custom, a developer can rebuild as a block right inside the studio.
Point your domain
Connect your domain, SSL issues automatically, and 301 redirects carry over every ranking you’ve earned. Nothing breaks on launch day.
