The Fastest Guide to Setting Up a low-code Site (in Beta)

0 ratings

Wait! Is ‘low-code’ even a thing?

No, not really. But neither is ‘no-code’, if we are being honest. There is always code. Just like with ‘serverless’ … there are always servers.

The gap between no-code solutions like Carrd and Bubble and custom builds using React or Vue is Grand-Canyon-Size.

Graduating from No-code solutions like Carrd and Bubble is hard, they are fast and easy to start. But there are problems:

You want to do something just a little bit custom … but the no-code tool you use doesn’t support it
No-code tools are not cheap, something less expensive would allow you to experiment more
You don't have time to learn things like ReactJS, and struggling with supporting technologies like NodeJS and Webpack is hard
You’d rather be spending time creatively designing a landing page that doesn’t look like every other landing page
You’ve tried to customize Wordpress … but that has led down a path of never ending plugins and security update patches
Your landing page looks just like everyone else's.
You’ve heard of things like TailwindCSS 3.0 and would like to try it out, but just reading through the installation page gave you a headache.

Each page has just the steps you need to setup Hugo, to create the files you need.
It even starts off with a template and you can customize from there.
No Webpack. No huge list of dependencies. No need for a MySQL database. No searching for a Wordpress theme.
Work with only the HTML, CSS & JS & that you want.
No need to update a boat-load of packages and software every week
Learn by doing.
"Start ... then learn."

Each page takes you through the steps to using Hugo.
There is an associated Github Repo with the basic template files.
A sample landing page using a Hero Banner type format.
Ongoing updates: on each new release of Hugo, I’ll restest this guide, make any updates and post the updated version here.
