A Next.js Personal Website with a Native Authoring Experience

This starter is a statically generated personal website that uses Next.js for the frontend and Sanity to handle its content. It comes with a native Sanity Studio that offers features like real-time collaboration, instant side-by-side content previews, and intuitive editing.

The Studio connects to Sanity Content Lake, which gives you hosted content APIs with a flexible query language, on-demand image transformations, powerful patching, and more. You can use this starter to kick-start a personal website or learn these technologies.

Note

This starter uses the pages-router.

For an app-router alternative, use sanity-template-nextjs-app-router-personal-website

Configuration

Step 1. Set up the environment

Use the Deploy Button below. It will let you deploy the starter using Vercel as well as connect it to your Sanity Content Lake using the Sanity Vercel Integration.

Step 2. Set up the project locally

Clone the repository that was created for you on your GitHub account. Once cloned, run the following command from the project's root directory:

npx vercel link

Download the environment variables needed to connect Next.js and the Studio to your Sanity project:

npx vercel env pull

Step 3. Run Next.js locally in development mode

npm install && npm run dev

When you run this development server, the changes you make in your frontend and studio configuration will be applied live using hot reloading.

Your personal website should be up and running on http://localhost:3000! You can create and edit content on http://localhost:3000/studio.

Step 4. Deploy to production

To deploy your changes to production you use git:

git add .
git commit
git push

Alternatively, you can deploy without a git hosting provider using the Vercel CLI:

npx vercel --prod
