You do realize that this whole concept is an overkill, don't you?

Just think about it: you need to have installed PHP, MySQL / MariaDB, and a plugin to generate static content, whereas with a SSG that exists you go straight to the phase of generating your content.

Personally I plan to use Hugo for tiny to small websites that get updated once in a blue moon and for more complicated websites, I have many options to choose from; for sure WordPress is not one of them and that's a fact!




Of course it's overkill, but i prefer that than to "force" marketing and adjacent people to learn Markdown and maybe even HTML/CSS ( at least the basics).

My own website is built with Hugo, but based on my experience building WordPress websites and helping friends "using" them with basic HTML/CSS tips i wouldn't recommend that for everyone.


You don't have to force anyone.

For instance, an example would be https://github.com/julianoappelklein/hokus which is a CMS front-end for Hugo.


Looks very cool, but is simultaneously in alpha and abandoned ( last commit 2020), so not really an option.
