Headless CMS agency for content at scale

A headless CMS agency that picks a side. We build on Sanity and Contentful because we know them to the bottom, and we'll tell you in the first call which one fits your content, or whether you need headless at all.





Why Roboto Studio?

The headless CMS agency that specialises on purpose

Most headless CMS agencies list eight platform partnerships and call it flexibility. We build on Sanity and Contentful, because depth beats a badge wall: one of 15 starred partners in Sanity's 218-agency directory, Contentful Silver Solution Partner, and a 550-page migration matrix covering the platforms we've moved teams off.

Structured content is the whole job. We model your content around how your editors work, ship the CMS and the Next.js frontend, and stay for the unglamorous part: the schema that still makes sense at the tenth content type, the integration that survives the next webhook change, the migration that keeps your rankings. If your content estate would be better served by something we don't build, we'll tell you on the first call.



Structured content modelling

Structured content modelling

The difference between a headless CMS your editors love and one they file tickets about is the content model. We design schemas around editorial workflows, with reusable blocks, sensible references and validation that catches mistakes before publish.

CMS selection without the sales pitch

CMS selection without the sales pitch

Sanity or Contentful, and occasionally neither. We hold partner status with both platforms, so the recommendation follows your content model, your team and your budget rather than whichever vendor paid for the badge.

Next.js frontends built for content

Next.js frontends built for content

Statically generated, ISR or fully streamed, whichever fits the traffic. Live preview wired into the editor, cache invalidation that fires when content changes, and Core Web Vitals your marketing team can quote.

Migrations that keep your rankings

Migrations that keep your rankings

Moving off WordPress, Drupal, AEM, Sitecore or HubSpot means mapping every legacy URL, preserving SEO equity with 301s, and training editors before the cutover. Our migration playbooks cover 24 platforms in every pairing.

AI in the editorial loop

AI in the editorial loop

Drafting, translation, semantic search and agent-driven publishing, built into the CMS your editors already use, with approval workflows wherever a human should sign off. We run our own content operation this way.

SEO and AEO from the schema up

SEO and AEO from the schema up

Meta fields, structured data and canonical logic live in the content model, so pages can't ship without them. And because search now includes AI answers, every build gets the crawlability work that makes it citable by ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews.

Credentials, not badges

Depth in two platforms, not a logo wall

We're one of 15 starred agencies in Sanity's 218-agency partner directory, authors of both official Sanity Learn courses on Next.js and creators of Turbo Start Sanity, the starter other Sanity agencies fork. On the Contentful side we're a Silver Solution Partner with Certified Professionals shipping composable commerce builds. We've shipped headless platforms for Tray.ai, Warner Bros, Tabby and Global Cycling Network.



Roboto Studio migrated our project to Vercel and reduced build times from a full day to just 2 minutes for faster rollouts and more agile updates.

Headless builds we've shipped





Burning questions

Thinking about going headless?

The questions we get asked on every headless CMS scoping call.

What is a headless CMS agency?

An agency that designs and builds content platforms where the CMS is decoupled from the frontend. The work spans content modelling, CMS selection and setup, frontend development, migrations from legacy platforms, and the editorial workflow design that decides whether editors love or resent the result. The decoupling is the easy part; the content model is where projects are won or lost.

Which headless CMS do you recommend?

Sanity for most teams: it handles nested structures, reusable blocks and real-time collaboration more gracefully than anything else we've shipped, which is why it's our default. Contentful when the requirements lean enterprise: strict governance, heavy localisation, procurement that wants a big vendor, which is why we hold Silver partner status there too. The recommendation follows your content model rather than our margin.

Do we need a headless CMS at all?

Headless earns its keep when content outgrows one website: multiple channels pulling the same content, structured reuse across many page types, several editors working in parallel, or a frontend your CMS vendor doesn't control. For a small brochure site with one editor, a traditional CMS still does the job, and we'll say so in the scoping call rather than sell you architecture you don't need.

What frontend do you build with?

Next.js, almost always. Server components and streaming fit the headless delivery model, and Vercel's caching primitives make CMS-triggered revalidation reliable instead of hopeful. For content sites with no interactive logic we occasionally recommend Astro. Either way the frontend is built from the content model out, not bolted on after.

Can you migrate us from our current CMS?

Yes. We've moved teams off WordPress, Drupal, Adobe Experience Manager, Sitecore, HubSpot, Webflow and most things in between; the migration matrix documents every pairing. Every migration gets a full URL map with 301s, a schema redesign rather than a lift-and-shift, and editor training before cutover so publishing never pauses.

How does headless CMS pricing work?

Two costs: the platform licence and the implementation. Sanity and Contentful both run generous free tiers into paid plans priced on users, locales and API usage. The implementation is usually the larger number in year one, and it's where a clean content model pays for itself, because schema rework after launch costs multiples of getting it right first. We scope both numbers honestly on a call.

Do you work alongside in-house developers?

Constantly. The most common split: your team owns the product and frontend roadmap, we own the content platform, the schema and the migration. When you'd rather run the whole stack yourselves, our workshops transfer it in five days.

What goes wrong with headless CMS projects?

The schema, nearly every time. Builds get modelled around the first page someone wanted to ship, references get stored as strings, and the page builder turns into a maze nobody can edit safely. Most of our rescue work starts there. If you're already living with one of these builds, we'll audit it and tell you honestly whether to fix it, rebuild the schema, or migrate.



Moving off your current CMS?

Real schemas, real 301 plans

Most headless projects start on a platform that's run out of road. We've replatformed teams from WordPress, enterprise suites like Adobe Experience Manager and Sitecore, and page builders like Webflow and HubSpot. Each migration page below covers the schema work, the URL and 301 plan, the editor training and the cutover playbook we use.





Ready to scope a headless build?

Tell us what you're building. A first headless build, an escape from a legacy CMS, or a headless project that went sideways under another agency: we'll scope it honestly in a 20-minute call and tell you which platform fits, including when the answer is neither.
