About Contentia

A boutique web design agency founded on the belief that local businesses deserve world-class digital experiences. We bridge creativity, code, and conversion strategy.

Our Origin

Contentia was born out of a simple observation: too many Utah businesses were forced to choose between beautiful websites that didn't convert, or functional sites that looked like they belonged in 2012.

Hunter K. Newbold founded this agency to prove that assumption wrong. With a background in both creative design and front-end engineering, Hunter saw an opportunity to build a studio that merged aesthetic excellence with measurable performance.

Today, Contentia partners with startups, local enterprises, and growing brands across the Wasatch Front to build digital assets that don't just look good—they work hard.

Founder & Lead Strategist

Hunter K. Newbold

I'm a designer, developer, and problem-solver based in Salt Lake City. I've spent over a decade helping brands translate their vision into high-performing digital experiences.

My approach is deeply rooted in empathy and data. I don't just ask what a website should look like; I ask what it needs to achieve. Every line of code and every pixel choice is made with your bottom line in mind.

When I'm not pushing pixels or refactoring code, I'm mentoring local startups, speaking at Utah tech meetups, or exploring the trails in Big Cottonwood Canyon.

Our Core Values

The principles that guide every project, partnership, and pixel we create.

Performance First

A beautiful site that takes 5 seconds to load is a beautiful failure. We obsess over Core Web Vitals, image optimization, and clean code so your users never wait.

Radical Collaboration

We don't work in a black box. You're involved at every stage, from wireframes to launch. Your feedback shapes the strategy, not just the aesthetics.

Absolute Transparency

No jargon, no hidden fees, no surprises. You'll always know where your project stands, what it costs, and what the next steps are.

You Own It

We never hold your site hostage. Once it's done, it's 100% yours. Full source files, CMS access, and documentation handed over cleanly.

Accessibility Matters

The web is for everyone. We design with WCAG 2.1 standards in mind, ensuring your site is usable by people of all abilities.

Local Roots, Global Reach

Proudly SLC-based, but we serve clients everywhere. We blend local market insight with world-class standards.

Built for the Utah Market

Understanding the local landscape is our superpower. From navigating Utah's specific SEO nuances to designing for the unique buyer personas that define the Wasatch Front, we speak the language of Utah business.

  • Local SEO Expertise We optimize for "near me" searches, Google Business Profiles, and local schema markup that puts SLC businesses on the map.
  • Community Network Active participants in the SLC tech and business community. We collaborate with local agencies, photographers, and marketers.
  • In-Person Meetings Available Prefer to meet face-to-face? We're always up for coffee in downtown SLC or a site visit at your office.
