Building a static website in Markdown with Hugo

Hugo is a static site generator that creates fast, maintenance-free websites using Markdown files instead of traditional CMS systems like WordPress. The tutorial covers Hugo installation, theme setup (specifically Blowfish theme), project structure, content creation with Markdown, and local development server usage. Static sites offer better performance since they serve pre-built HTML/CSS/JavaScript files without database queries or server-side processing, making them ideal for blogs, documentation, and simple websites that don't require user data storage.
