<h2>Run Anywhere</h2>
<pclass="lead">
Hugo is quite possibly the easiest to install software you’ve ever used,
simply download and run. <b>Hugo doesn’t depend on administrative privileges, databases, runtimes, interpreters
or external libraries</b>. Sites built with Hugo can be deployed on S3, GitHub Pages, Dropbox or any web host.

<h2>Fast & Powerful</h2>
<pclass="lead">
Hugo is written for speed and performance. Great care has been
taken to ensure that Hugo build time is as short as possible.
We’re talking milliseconds to build your entire site for most setups.

<h2>Flexible</h2>
<pclass="lead">
Hugo is designed to work how you do.
Organize your content however you want with any URL structure.
Declare your own content types.
Define your own meta data in YAML, TOML or JSON.
Use indexes to group your content however you want.
Best of all this is all done with virtually no configuration, Hugo
just works.
