19 | 20 | Sanity 21 | {' '} 22 | is a platform for structured content. It comes with an open source editing environment called{' '} 23 | 24 | Sanity Studio 25 | 26 | . This is the content mangement system (CMS) we use and where you are currently located. The Studio is fully customized to your needs 27 | and can be extended by a developer at any time. All of the content such as text, files and images are hosted on their servers, which we 28 | use to create a bespoke digital platform. 29 |
30 |31 | We use Sanity in the free (pay-as-you-go) version. If you would like to extend the feature set, have a look at the{' '} 32 | 33 | Growth Plan 34 | 35 | , which enables AI Assist, Multiple user roles, Scheduled publishing or Comments. 36 |
37 |41 | 42 | Mux 43 | {' '} 44 | is a video hosting platform that specializes in the processing and playback of video and audio. The platform therefore enables us to 45 | integrate videos into the website particularly fast and efficiently. Mux automatically adjusts the video quality to the user's bandwidth 46 | and only loads videos piece by piece rather than completely, which means that videos can be played and loaded very quickly. 47 |
48 |49 | It also has excellent integration with Sanity. To upload video files, just select "Video" in the media field and upload the video 50 | directly to Sanity (it is handled by Mux under the hood). Mux automatically provides a preview image of the first frame of the video, 51 | which we display on the website while the video is loading. 52 |
53 |57 | 58 | Netlify 59 | {' '} 60 | is a next-generation web hosting service. It works by being permanently connected to the website's code repository and running a build 61 | process through this connection when it detects updates to the codebase or when content is published. This process converts the code 62 | into static HTML, CSS and JS files, which are then served to website visitors via a global network of servers (called Content Delivery 63 | Network, CDN). This means that users receive a cached version of the websites from the server closest to them, which reduces load times 64 | enormously. 65 |

76 | Don't forget to hit »Publish« on the bottom right after you've added content.
Every time you publish content, the website re-builds
77 | on Netlify. This means that changes will be live after 30 - 50 seconds. Have a look in your{' '}
78 | Dashboard to monitor this process.
79 |
89 | Preview mode allows you to see changes before publishing. Navigate to the page you want to preview and click on the the three dots in the 90 | bottom right corner. Then click on »Open Preview«. This will open the page in a new tab and a red preview banner at the bottom appears. 91 |
92 |93 | After you edited content, you don't need to click »Publish«, just refresh the page and the draft changes appear 94 | immediately. Remember, any changes made in preview mode will not be visible to the public until you hit the »Publish« button. 95 |
96 |Please be aware of the following:
97 |113 | It is also possible to link files such as PDFs within a text. To do this, please highlight the word to be linked in the text editor and 114 | select "External Link". If you already have a URL to the file, paste it into the field. If not, PDFs can also be hosted with Sanity; 115 | upload the file to the media library, click on it, and select "Copy URL" at the bottom left. 116 |
117 |Click on your avatar at the top right and go to »Invite members«.
126 |135 | I have made every effort to technically optimize the website for search engine optimization. If you have any requests for adjustments in 136 | this regard, please contact me. Nevertheless, content is the most important part of SEO. Simple tips to follow: 137 |
138 |172 | Images uploaded to Sanity are automatically compressed and converted to the WebP format. On the frontend, I implement lazy loading, which 173 | ensures that images are only loaded when they are needed or enter the viewport. Additionally, photos are rendered in multiple sizes and 174 | automatically adjusted to match the specific device being used. 175 |
