What is the Hugo static site framework?

Hugo is one of my favorite website build tools. It is very fast. They advertise themselves as being “blazingly fast.” Hugo is a static website generator built with the GO language. It uses GO templating and than renders a 100% static website at build time. The reason you want this: speed. Static websites have less technology debt than other modern workflows that require a server backend to process and build pages on the fly.

Markdown Syntax For Quick Development and Fast Content Creation

Markdown is a markup language developed to be easy for writers to write. It allows writers to generate web pages quickly with excellent readability. It’s main purpose is to keep things simple and straightforward so that the writer can focus on the content rather than formatting. Markdown syntax is an alternative to HTML. It is not as powerful, but in some cases, it may be easier for a writer who doesn’t know HTML (or doesn’t want to know HTML) than learning that language.

10 Static Site Mistakes You Should Stop Making: A blog about the common mistakes people make when creating static sites.

When starting a business, it can be tempting to go with the “latest and greatest” web development technology.

This doesn’t just mean your company will be less likely to be hacked, but you will also not have to throw away any code and start over if things do go wrong. If you are a small business you can also take advantage of static generators that are free or low cost.
