the solution

Smarter Labs worked closely with their in house marketing team to find solutions that worked for their unique needs. We used Gatsby's GraphQL layer to aggregate API content as well as a headless CMS. Hutson Inc now has an easy-to-edit website faster than all of their competitors. Their in house team has since easily taken over control of the site and they have continued to make their own revisions based on analytics feedback.

“We're excited to launch a website that delivers a high level of customer experience and a better way for us to deliver content. Customers are not waiting around for pages to load. Loading pages in under a second provide our customers a great experience and better SEO practices.”
— Tom Sutter, President/CEO of Hutson
