Hugo

What is Hugo? Hugo is a general-purpose website framework. Technically speaking, Hugo is a static site generator. This means that unlike systems such as WordPress, Ghost, and Drupal, which run on your web server and expensively build a page every time a visitor requests one, Hugo builds when you create content. Since websites are viewed far more often than they are edited, Hugo is optimized for website viewing while providing an excellent writing experience. Websites built with Hugo are extremely fast and highly secure. Hugo sites can be hosted anywhere, including Heroku, GoDaddy, DreamHost, GitHub Pages, Google Cloud Storage, Amazon S3, and CloudFront, and work well with CDNs. Hugo sites operate without relying on expensive runtimes like Ruby, Python, or PHP, nor do they require any database. We consider Hugo to be the ideal tool for website creation. Hugo's build time is nearly instantaneous, and it can rebuild upon changes, offering a very rapid feedback loop. This is crucial when designing a website and equally beneficial when creating content.

Hugo is a versatile website framework and a static site generator designed to deliver incredibly fast build speeds, high security, and a flexible website creation experience, making the process of building websites enjoyable.
