My Hugo Experience

What is Hugo? Link to heading

To make this website, I have chosen to do it with Hugo. Hugo is a tool that allows you to automatically generate HTML/CSS/JavaScript code from a Markdown specification and a configuration file.

Why Hugo? Link to heading

The reason is quite simple, I wanted to start a personal website as a side project, but dislike writing HTML/CSS/JavaScript ‘code’. Thus, I chose to use a tool like Hugo, since it makes the task of formatting web content trivial. Additionally, the many themes developed by the open-source community make it easy to style the website in whatever way you want. It is also supposed to be rather easy to switch styles later on.

Should you use Hugo? Link to heading

If you just want to set up some simple (read static) web content for a project, I would definitely recommend Hugo. However, if you want to use dynamic content, Hugo might not be for you.
