Moving My Personal Website to Hugo

Over time, I realized that maintaining a simple static website wasn’t ideal for managing content efficiently. Adding or updating content became a chore, and I needed a better way to handle things. That’s when I discovered Hugo and its rich collection of themes, and everything changed.

Hugo provides a fantastic markdown-based interface to add and modify content, making it incredibly easy to work with. I decided to move my personal website to Hugo and selected the Qubt theme by Christian Olsen for the implementation.

Why Hugo?

Hugo offers several advantages over traditional static websites:

  1. Markdown Simplicity
    Write content in plain markdown without fiddling with HTML/CSS/JS or any framework.
  2. Fast Setup
    Hugo’s themes make designing and deploying a website straightforward.
  3. Rich Themes
    There’s a theme for every style and purpose, and the Qubt theme really resonated with what I wanted.

About the Qubt Theme

The Qubt theme, designed by Christian Olsen, is clean, modern, and perfect for personal websites. It’s minimal yet functional, with just the right balance of style and usability.

Shoutout to Christian Olsen

A big thanks to Christian for creating such an excellent theme. I appreciate the effort he has put into making this and other projects, which you can find on his GitHub profile. He’s also a homelaber, which makes his work even more inspiring for tech enthusiasts.
