I will develop a static website using hugo, hosted free on github


About this gig
Why burn money on hosting your Blog or Portfolio website on WordPress and suffer due to high latency (slowness), Security risks and worries of additional components like Database, Caching & CDN, when you can create a fast, secure static one hosted for free.
Here are the top five benefits of having a static site:
- Blazing fast page loads (no database involved)
- Git based versioning of your files, never lose a change
- Choice of free themes (gig extra)
- Secure (forget SQL injection & Cross site scripting attacks)
- No hosting costs (free on GitHub pages)
What will I get?
A Hugo site built using the default theme and pages, hosted on GitHub Pages (you will need to create a free Git account). When you upload content on one Git branch it will publish the static site automatically on another Git branch and to your site at <github-username>.github.io.
What is not included?
- Domain Name
- Support or coaching on working with Git (though I will point you to Hugo official documentation).
What if I need something else?
Sure, please check the Gig extras, I offer many more services, for example, upload of your content or changing the Hugo theme (based on your choice).

FAQ
Can I contact you before placing order?
Why not! You can contact me anytime via Fiverr chat, will be happy to assist you.
Will my website be responsive?
Short answer: depends on the Hugo theme used. If the theme supports the website will be 100% Mobile, Tablet, and Desktop friendly (meaning that the website view port will auto adjust itself according to the screen size).
Where is my website hosted and how much is the hosting cost?
Your website will be hosted at the free GitHub account, using a feature called GitHub pages (your account), there are no hosting charges. Github sets a hard limit on individual repositories at 100GB for all the files in the repo. Use https://git-lfs.github.com/ for large files.
Can I route my existing domain to the GitHub website?
You indeed can associate the website with a custom domain name (to be separately purchased by you) but you would need to configure it yourself following official GitHub documentation at https://docs.github.com/en/pages/configuring-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-s. I do not offer this service.
Can I only create English websites?
No, your website can be in any language, if you provide me with the Unicode content in that language. Note that I cannot translate the content for you. Adult content are not accepted.
I want my downloadable PDF resume to be hosted. Can I do that?
Sure, please send me the PDF file and I can add it to your website. This will be downloadable via a website Menu.
Do I need to be a programmer to maintain the website once you are gone?
Frankly, no. To edit the content, you can use the GitHub GUI, you do not need to know any Git or Hugo commands. The only thing you should know that is that any change you make must be made on the "main" Git branch only. You can also use free web CMS such as Forestry.io to manage your website.
Can you create an Adult site for me?
No.
Can you create a customer Hugo Theme for me?
That is not covered in this gig. You can chose from hundreds of free themes available at https://themes.gohugo.io/.
