Template Details

This theme targets two types of content: personal portfolios and blogs. The homepage organizes information into three sections—projects, posts, and about—while the blog section uses an editorial-leaning layout. Visually, it employs gradients, glassmorphism, and smooth animations, and is stated to be responsive. The repository includes a complete exampleSite, and the root hugo.toml points to that example, so you can run hugo server directly to preview.

Three installation methods are provided: Git submodule, cloning and copying into the themes directory, or importing as a Hugo Module. Site information is configured via params in hugo.toml, including description, homepage title and subtitle, call-to-action button text and link, email, location, as well as array items such as social and projectHighlights.

The code is MIT-licensed and may be used, modified, commercialized, and distributed for free; however, third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons require separate license verification, and external services such as domains and hosting may incur costs. The README does not specify the theme's required Hugo version, nor does it provide browser compatibility ranges, accessibility support levels, or extension capabilities beyond content types.

How this score is calculated

Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.
