I’m not gonna lie, building a website, especially on a foreign framework, is time-consuming. Even the smallest of bugs can take hours to localize to a specific line of code or setting. Like most people who aren’t developers, I started with the best-known free option for building blog sites: WordPress. But the more I learned more about SEO and UX, the more agonizing WordPress was to work with. After a lot of hassle, I eventually trashed my old site and created this hugo-powered one.
