Why Hugo
Hugo is a very exciting static website generator that has a blog and many themes online you can use. Here are all the options Hugo Deployment have documents for. This isn’t a tutorial on how to make a Hugo site but taking a theme and then going through the guide will prove very easy. You can make changes just by knowing Markdown, HTML, and CSS. Also due to it’s lightweight performance heavy power, you will rank higher in SEO since your pages load a lot faster.
