About:
Hugo is a fast and modern static site generator written in Go. It is designed for building websites with focus on simplicity, developer experience, and performance. Unlike dynamic CMS platforms, Hugo builds pages instantly without needing a database.
Key Features:
  • Blazing fast build times (milliseconds per page)
  • Built-in support for Sass, SCSS, and PostCSS
  • Flexible content management with Markdown and front matter
  • Extensive taxonomy system for organizing content
  • Zero dependencies for deployment
Use Cases:
  • Building personal blogs and technical documentation sites
  • Creating marketing landing pages and portfolios
  • Hosting secure, high-performance websites on platforms like GitHub Pages or Netlify
Alternatives:
  • Jekyll – Ruby-based, slower builds but extensive plugin ecosystem
  • Next.js – React-based framework offering hybrid static and server rendering
