Getting Started with Static Sites

A static site is just HTML, CSS, and maybe a little JavaScript. No database, no server-side runtime—just files.

Why static?

  • Fast. Every page is a file. No queries, no rendering on request.
  • Simple. Deploy anywhere: any host, CDN, or object storage.
  • Stable. Fewer moving parts, fewer things to break.

A minimal stack

  1. Write content in Markdown.
  2. Run a generator (e.g. Hugo) to produce HTML.
  3. Upload the output folder. Done.

Inline code and fenced blocks work as expected:

hugo
# Output in public/

Blockquotes are useful for callouts or quoted text. Keep the theme minimal and the content clear.

That’s it. No external dependencies, no build pipeline beyond the generator itself.
