Why don't you offer WordPress?
As a passionate web developer since high school I have been consistently keeping up with cutting-edge technologies. Now there are new, better, more affordable services that completely dominate tools such as WordPress. The #1 competitor is HUGO
What is HUGO?
HUGO is an open-source static site generator. It's a tool used for building websites that are typically faster to load and more secure than their dynamic counterparts. Here are some key aspects of HUGO: 1. Speed: HUGO is known for its impressive speed in generating pages. It can turn content in formats like Markdown into a fully functioning website very quickly. 2. Simplicity: It simplifies the web development process by automating tasks like creating new pages with predefined templates. This makes it easier to maintain consistency across a site. 3. No Database Needed: Unlike dynamic site generators like WordPress, HUGO doesn’t require a database. It generates static HTML files which are served directly to the user. This results in enhanced security and performance. 4. No code needed: HUGO allows content creators to write in Markdown, a lightweight markup language with plain text formatting syntax. This feature makes it exceptionally user-friendly for those who may not be proficient in HTML or other web technologies. 5. Flexibility: HUGO supports various content formats, and you can define your own content types. It's also themeable, allowing users to easily change the look of their site. 6. Customization: It offers extensive customization options, enabling developers to create unique websites tailored to specific requirements. 7. Community and Support: As an open-source tool, HUGO has a strong community and a wealth of resources, templates, and add-ons available. HUGO is especially popular for building blogs, documentation sites, and personal websites, but its versatility allows it to be used for a wide range of static site applications.
How do you accomplish High Speed & SEO?
We're aware that most static-sites are created for the sole purpose of ranking high and attracting business. The first impression matters! That's why we ensure the page loads fast, and can be easily indexed. We also follow the following rules: Responsive Design: Ensure your website is mobile-friendly. Google prioritizes mobile-first indexing, so having a responsive design that works well on various devices is crucial. Semantic HTML: Use semantic HTML5 elements (like <header>, <footer>, <article>, and <section>) to structure your content logically. This helps search engines understand the content of your pages better. URL Structure: Use clean, descriptive URLs that include keywords relevant to your page's content. Meta Tags: Implement meta tags such as title tags and meta descriptions that accurately describe the content of each page. These are crucial for search rankings and click-through rates. Header Tags: Use header tags (H1, H2, H3, etc.) to structure your content. Ensure that H1 tags are used for main titles and H2s for subtitles, and so on. Alt Text for Images: Provide descriptive alt text for images. This helps search engines understand the images and can be a source of traffic from image searches. Internal Linking: Use internal links to help search engines crawl your site more effectively and to keep users engaged with your content. External Links: Linking to reputable and relevant external sites can boost the credibility of your own site. Schema Markup: Implement schema markup to provide search engines with additional context about your content, which can enhance the appearance of your site in search results. SSL Certificate: Use HTTPS to secure your site. Google gives a small ranking boost to secure sites.
