Overview

Hugo is a Go-based static site generator that builds websites from content and templates. It covers blogs and documentation as well as projects that need multilingual content, taxonomies, and asset pipelines.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Combine content generation and frontend assets in one build

It supports multilingual sites, taxonomies, menus, shortcodes, image processing, and pipelines for CSS, JavaScript, Sass, and Tailwind CSS. Hugo Modules share themes and content components, while the development server previews changes.

For frequently updated documentation, blogs, and marketing sites

It fits teams that want simple static delivery while keeping content models, languages, images, and CSS builds in one toolchain. Select an edition based on the asset processors the site requires.

Sources: [1]

Check edition boundaries and external asset tooling

Features vary across the standard, deploy, extended, and extended/deploy editions. Embedded LibSass was deprecated in v0.153.0, so consider Dart Sass. Source builds require Go 1.26 or later, and the extended edition also requires a C compiler.
