  • Hugo

    The world’s fastest framework for building websites.

  • Subscribe to Hugo’s “Releases” page on GitHub so you can keep up with Hugo updates. While many of these changes are only incremental and, thus, unlikely to merit your attention regarding an existing Hugo site, there sometimes will be a new feature which can be of great use to you and your clients. One such example was a December, 2021, release adding the ability to fetch remote resources so Hugo could process them just as if they were local to the project repository.

  • Sass

    Sass makes CSS fun!

  • When styling your templates, take advantage of Hugo’s built-in support for Sass. Since all valid CSS works in Sass, you can start with “vanilla” CSS and enable Sass’s capabilities as you learn about them. Sass is proven, feature-packed, and lovingly maintained. The stability and non-fussiness of a Hugo installation will be ably complemented by the solidity of Sass.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • But, compared to those other entrants in the growing list of SSGs, Hugo has a major ace up its sleeve. You see, the thing you hear most about Hugo is no exaggeration: Hugo really is the fastest way to generate a website. This SSG can easily churn out hundreds of web pages in under a second on each build. That titanic velocity is possible because Hugo itself is built with the Go language. And, since every content change on an SSG-built site generates a new build, even in development, both you and your client will find that single Hugo advantage a compelling one.
