## Make the Web Fun Again

Introducing Hugo, a new idea around making website creation simple again. Hugo flexibly works with many formats and is ideal for blogs, docs, portfolios and much more. Hugo's speed fosters creativity and makes building a website fun again.

## Run Anywhere

Hugo is written in pure go. It is packaged as a single binary for easy installation. Hugo doesn't depend on administrative privileges, databases, runtimes, interpreters or packages. Hugo is quite possibly the easiest to install software you've ever used. Simply download and run.

## Fast & Powerful

Hugo is written for speed and performance. Great care has been taken to ensure that Hugo build time is as short as possible. While many factors contribute (cpu, disk speed, # of indexes) the vast majority of websites render in less than a second.

## Flexible

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

## Open and Free

Hugo is open source and completely free.
