Third-party JS are often “death by a thousand cuts” for site performance. When building the StriVectin site, Elevar employed a number of creative solutions to mitigate this impact and still get solid performance.

With some creative engineering and carefully considered tradeoffs, Elevar figured out how to implement rich e-commerce functionality like search, wish lists, and account management on Strivectin's Gatsby + Shopify site.

When StriVectin was ready to upgrade their e-commerce experience, they used Gatsby's content mesh to quickly integrate Prismic with Shopify, using Prismic to store both additional product data and structured content.

As Gatsby continues to be used for building larger and more complex sites, we are constantly asking our users and the community how we could improve. Among professional Gatsby developers, we tend to hear less about specific bugs and feature requests and more about qualities they want and need in their site -- faster load times, shorter publish times, and so on.

The ability to tell a compelling story while building a strong business narrative is possible if your company’s website is easy to operate. And that can only happen when your content marketers are empowered to create and modify the site's landing pages quickly and comfortably. Let’s look at two companies that have achieved this using a high-quality combination of Gatsby and Contentful - and the impressive user growth and other results they enjoyed.

Little & Big is a boutique branding and digital development agency that helps small businesses create big impact. Using Gatsby as a frontend framework for web development enables the agency to build highly responsive, interactive websites for their growing roster of clients -- and build them fast.
