1.1 Welcome to the Course

Hey welcome to a new Tuts+ course, I'm Adi. And in this course you'll learn how to create static websites using Hugo. Hugo is a free static site generator that allows you to write most of your website's content in Markdown. It then takes that Markdown code and compiles it into HTML code. Which then bundles along with all the CSS and JavaScript to create a functional website in no time. In this course, I'll show you how to install Hugo. How to pick a theme and configure your website with just a few lines of code. How to add content. And also how to publish that website to a live server using Netlify. Now if we're gonna do exactly what I do in this course, you'll get a live static website for exactly $0. Hugo is free and I'll also show you a cool way of hosting a website on a live server for free. Sounds good? All right, let's get started then. But first, a quick, quick message from Envato Elements and then will get the ball rolling.
