Hugo takes a single directory and uses it as the input for creating a complete
website.
The top level of a source directory will typically have the following elements:
▸ archetypes/
▸ content/
▸ layouts/
▸ static/
▸ themes/
config.toml
Learn more about the different directories and what their purpose is:
* [config](/overview/configuration/)
* [archetypes](/content/archetypes/)
* [content](/content/organization/)
* [layouts](/layout/overview/)
* [static](/themes/creation#toc_4)
* [themes](/themes/overview/)
## Example
An example directory may look like:
.
├── config.toml
├── archetypes
| └── default.md

| ├── post
| | ├── firstpost.md
| | └── secondpost.md

This directory structure tells us a lot about this site:
1. The website intends to have two different types of content: *posts* and *quotes*.
2. It will also apply two different taxonomies to that content: *categories* and *tags*.
3. It will be displaying content in 3 different views: a list, a summary and a full page view.
