How I built this blog with Hugo and Congo

·1 min

The stack #

This blog is built with:

  • Hugo as a static site generator
  • Congo as the theme
  • Cloudflare Pages for deployment

Why Hugo? #

Speed. Hugo compiles hundreds of pages in milliseconds. It doesn’t need Node.js, it has no heavy dependencies. It’s a binary that just works.

Why Congo? #

It’s clean, modern, and has native bilingual support. It also has dark mode, built-in search and a very organized configuration system.

Deployment #

Cloudflare Pages detects Hugo automatically. You just need to:

  1. Connect your GitHub repository
  2. Set the build command: hugo --minify
  3. Wait 30 seconds

That simple.
