How I built this blog with Hugo and Congo

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:
- Connect your GitHub repository
- Set the build command:
hugo --minify - Wait 30 seconds
That simple.
