For SEO, the theme automatically generates hreflang and x-default tags, supports Open Graph and Twitter Cards, and outputs og:locale, title, and description per language; for structured data, the homepage outputs Person schema and article pages output Article schema. The homepage includes an Expertise Cards section for showcasing core skills. Configuration relies on a language-specific params structure in hugo.toml, and the number of articles per page is recommended to be 6 or 9 to match the three-column grid. An exampleSite is included in the repository; its contents can be copied directly to the root of a new Hugo project to see the results. Multilingual articles are linked via the filename suffixes .fr.md and .en.md.
