About how this website was made

This website is more or less a pretext to try and test how Hugo works. It’s an awesome web framework to build static website. Here’s a personal list of pros and cons of this tool.

Advantages

• Probably the most important for me is that you don’t have to type these html files anymore but markdown files for your webpages. It’s so much easier and simpler to write webpages;
• It’s so easy to test your website. You only need one command to run locally the website: hugo server. When running in background and when you change the files of your website, the pages reload automatically on your web browser;
• You can customise everything on how you want your pages to render;
• Hugo is written in Go and is fast to build the pages;
• Hugo supports multilangual websites.

Drawbacks

• In order to run, Hugo needs templates that are html base files to build the pages. It can be long and annoying to write those. But for those who don’t have time, you can use existing themes.
