Building the website with Hugo & Netlify
by Peter van de Pas on🎯 From Zero to a Complete Website
Building LastPak was an adventure! I had to relearn Hugo, a static site generator that is super powerful but sometimes frustrating.
I wanted a fast, lightweight website without a complex backend. So I chose Hugo + Netlify.
🛠️ What I Learned (again)
- How Hugo templates work
- How to create a multilingual site
- How to structure Hugo content and menus properly
- How to deploy the site to Netlify
🚀 Getting the Site Live on Netlify
Netlify makes it super easy to host a Hugo site. All I had to do was:
- Connect my repo to Netlify
- Set
hugoas the build command - Enable automatic deploys!
