Written in GoLang for speed, Hugo is significantly faster than other static site generators. It's so fast that it will render the site in less time than it takes to switch to your browser and reload.
Hugo is made to be very flexible. Define your own content types. Define your own indexes. Build your own templates, shortcodes and more.
Hugo is more fun than you can shake a stick at. Hugo removes all the cruft of building a site allowing you to focus on creating the best site possible.
