Sanity Migration in Coventry

Migrating content into Sanity for Coventry organisations, where rich text is structured rather than stored as markup. Formatted content becomes an array of blocks with defined types, so an import from an HTML-based system has to convert that markup into structure — and anything embedded within it needs a block type to become.

Why this comes up

The problem

Articles contain embedded videos, callouts and image galleries inside the HTML, and the import is treating it all as plain text.

What you get

What we deliver

  • Rich text converted to structured blocks rather than stored as a markup string
  • Embedded elements identified and given block types they can convert into
  • References resolved so related content links properly rather than by name
  • Assets uploaded and re-linked, with originals retained where quality matters
  • Import scripted and repeatable, so a partial run can be resumed
  • Content verified in the studio, since a technically valid import can still look wrong

Sanity Migration in Coventry — common questions

Why not store the HTML as-is?
Because it discards the reason for migrating. Structured rich text can be rendered differently per front end, have custom blocks styled to your design system and be queried — storing markup gives you a content management system that can only reproduce what was pasted into it.
What happens to embedded content?
It needs a block type. A video embed, a pull quote or a gallery inside an article becomes a defined block that templates render deliberately — which is better than an embed code stored as text, and it means identifying those patterns before importing.
Should the import be scripted?
Always, and made resumable. Content imports fail partway on unexpected data, and a script that records progress lets you fix the case and continue rather than starting again or leaving a half-populated dataset to reconcile.
Is a successful import enough?
No — someone should look at the content. An import can complete without errors while producing articles with lost formatting, broken references or images in the wrong place, and only opening a sample in the studio reveals that.
Do you work with businesses across West Midlands?
Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout West Midlands, including Coventry and the surrounding West Midlands area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
What kind of Coventry businesses do you usually work with?
Supply chain integration dominates — connecting order, quality and delivery data between manufacturers and the tiers above and below them. Beyond that we work across Automotive, Advanced Manufacturing, Higher Education, Logistics and Gaming.
Do you cover the areas around Coventry?
Yes — we work throughout West Midlands, including Birmingham, Leicester, Northampton, Wolverhampton. Coventry is an urban area of roughly 370,000+, and we take on work across the wider West Midlands region rather than the city boundary alone.
