It was clear from the get-go that we had to go with a static site generator. Static sites are secure, performant, and give you 100% flexibility. At [Forestry.io](https://forestry.io/) we provide Content Management Solutions for websites built with static site generators, so we might be a little biased. The only question: Which static site generator was the right choice for us?

We knew Hugo was fast but we did [some additional benchmarking](https://forestry.io/blog/hugo-vs-jekyll-benchmark/) before making our decision. Seeing Hugo in action is a whole different world of awesome. Hugo takes less than one second to build our 150-page site! Take a look:

* Our Norwegian designer Nichlas is in love with [**Sketch**](https://www.sketchapp.com/). From what we hear its a designers dream come true.
* Some say our main graphic is [mesmerizing](https://twitter.com/hmncllctv/status/968907474664284160). Nichlas created it using [**3DS Max**](https://www.autodesk.com/products/3ds-max/overview).
* [**Hugo**](https://gohugo.io/) - of course.
* [**Hugo**](https://gohugo.io/) -- of course.
* Chris cant think of modern web development without [**Gulp**](https://gulpjs.com/) & [**Webpack**](https://webpack.js.org/). We used them to add additional build steps such as Browsersync, CSS, JS and SVG optimization.
* Speaking about adding steps to our build, our lives would be much harder without [**CircleCI**](https://circleci.com/) for continuous deployment and automated testing purposes.
* We cant stop raving about [**Algolia**](https://www.algolia.com/). Chris loves it and even wrote a tutorial on [how to implement Algolia]([https://forestry.io/blog/search-with-algolia-in-hugo/) into static sites using Hugos [Custom Outputs](https://gohugo.io/templates/output-formats/).
