Hugo Story is a highly modular and tweakable responsive one-page theme for Hugo, a popular static site generator. It is a direct port of the 'Story' static HTML template by HTML5 UP, meticulously designed to replicate the original's aesthetic and functionality while seamlessly integrating Hugo's powerful features. This theme is ideal for developers and designers who are comfortable with HTML and wish to leverage Hugo's templating system, shortcodes, and data files for extensive customization.
Key features include:
- Minimalist and Fully Responsive Design: Ensures a clean look and optimal viewing experience across all devices.
- Modular Templates and Partials: Provides granular control over site elements like Header, Footer, FootScripts, Favicon, Banner, Spotlight, Gallery, and Items, allowing for flexible layout customization.
- Rich Content Capabilities: Supports image galleries and essential shortcodes for dynamic content insertion, such as Site Title, Site Subtitle, Site Logo, and Social Icons.
- Modern Web Development Support: Includes FontAwesome for icons, SASS for styling, AutoMinify for performance optimization, and integrated Google Analytics for tracking.
To get started, users need to install the extended version of Hugo. The process involves creating a new Hugo site, cloning the Hugo Story repository into the themes directory, and then copying the exampleSite content to the root folder. This setup allows for easy modification of data files (e.g., banner.yml) and custom site layouts by manipulating partial tags within index.html. The theme empowers users to build a unique one-page website with a strong foundation and extensive customization options.
