Contentful to Sanity Migration in Liverpool

Moving Liverpool organisations from Contentful to Sanity, where the body content is what needs work. The two platforms represent rich text as different structures — with embedded entries, links and marks arranged their own way — so article bodies have to be transformed rather than transferred, and that transformation is the migration.

Why this comes up

The problem

Rich text exported from Contentful arrives as a structure Sanity cannot interpret.

What you get

What we deliver

  • Rich text converted between the two document structures, not copied across
  • Embedded entries and assets within body content preserved through the conversion
  • References between documents remapped, since identifiers change
  • Content model translated to Sanity's schema definitions in code
  • Assets migrated with their metadata rather than only their files
  • Conversion verified on real content, because the difficult cases are in the archive

Liverpool's port and maritime economy sits alongside a large visitor economy, so we see both heavy logistics integration work and a steady stream of hospitality and tourism booking systems.

Contentful to Sanity Migration in Liverpool — common questions

Why can rich text not simply be moved?
Because the platforms model it differently. Both represent formatted content as structured data rather than markup, but the shapes disagree — so a converter has to be written and, more importantly, checked against the varied content that has accumulated over years.
What happens to embedded entries?
They need handling explicitly. Content with an embedded product card, callout or related article inside the body is the part conversions break on, and a migration tested only against plain paragraphs will appear to work until an editor opens something real.
Do references survive?
Only if remapped. Documents referencing each other by identifier need those identifiers translating as part of the migration, and a run that imports documents before their targets exist produces references pointing at nothing.
How should the conversion be verified?
Against the oldest and strangest content you have. Recent articles follow current conventions and convert cleanly, whereas the archive contains formatting decisions nobody remembers making — and those are exactly the pages that will be noticed if they arrive broken.
Do you work with businesses across Merseyside?
Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North West, including Liverpool and the surrounding Merseyside area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
What kind of Liverpool businesses do you usually work with?
Two distinct streams: logistics and port-adjacent integration work, and booking and ticketing systems for the visitor economy. Beyond that we work across Maritime & Logistics, Life Sciences, Creative & Digital, Tourism and Hospitality.
Do you cover the areas around Liverpool?
Yes — we work throughout North West, including Manchester, Chester. Liverpool is an urban area of roughly 900,000+, and we take on work across the wider Merseyside region rather than the city boundary alone.
