Template Details
This theme is a Hugo port of BootstrapMade's eStartup landing page template. The repository uses the MIT license, and a demo site is available online. It breaks the original static landing page into homepage sections that can be toggled individually in config.yaml, including About Us, Features, Screenshots, Video, Team, Testimonials, Pricing, Blog, Newsletter, and Contact, making it suitable for building a product-introduction-style homepage.
On the content side, it provides a /post/ blog section and sample content such as about, getstarted, features, pricing, and testimonials. Screenshots, Team, and footer data are maintained in YAML files in the data directory. The theme supports multiple languages, with a language dropdown menu controlled by languagesMenuEnabled; footer text and links are configured via i18n files and data/footer.yaml respectively.
Additional features include a toggle for showing the current page in breadcrumbs, a Load More pagination loader for list pages (falling back to the standard pagination component when disabled), a Formspree-based contact form, Disqus comments, and Google Analytics. These external services require you to provide your own endpoint or identifier; when not configured, the corresponding features remain disabled.
