Template Details

Hugo Up Business is a landing page template built with Hugo, positioned as a corporate website or product showcase page. The overall visual direction is clean and modern, with design inspiration drawn from light illustrations, making it suitable for presenting company, product, or service information in a clear, professional way.

In terms of content organization, page copy and structured data are placed in the content/ and data/ directories respectively; sections such as hero, features, and pricing are provided by YAML files under data/. Site configuration is centralized in the config/ directory, using Hugo's configuration directory structure. Styling is based on Tailwind CSS, and the build process manages dependencies through npm.

Before use, Hugo, Go, Node.js, and npm must be available locally, and the demo branch must be specified when cloning. Running hugo server allows local preview with hot reload; running hugo generates the public/ static directory, which can then be uploaded to a hosting platform. The template is released under the MIT license, but third-party assets such as demo images, fonts, and icons require separate license verification.

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.

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.

The catalog identifies Hugo as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.

**Hugo Up Business** is a clean and modern landing page built with [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/), designed to highlight businesses, products, or services with clarity and style. Inspired by light illustrations and a modern aesthetic, it offers a minimal yet professional interface for company websites or promotional pages.

## Live Demo

👉 [Visit the Live Demo](https://writeonlycode.github.io/hugo-up-business/)

## Getting Started

### Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed:

* [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/installing/)
* [Go](https://go.dev/doc/install)
* [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/)
* npm (comes with Node.js)

### Installation

1. Clone the repository using the `demo` branch:

```bash
git clone --branch demo https://github.com/writeonlycode/hugo-up-business.git my-new-site
cd my-new-site
```

2. Install the dependencies:

```bash
npm install
```

3. Start the local development server:

```bash
hugo server
```

Your site will be running at `http://localhost:1313`. Any changes you make will be hot-reloaded in the browser.

### Editing Content

* All content is stored in the `content/` and `data/` directories.
* To update configuration settings, **modify only the files inside the `config/` folder**, which uses Hugo’s [configuration directory](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/configuration/#configuration-directory) structure.
* YAML files inside `data/` are used for structured sections like the hero, features, and pricing.

### Deployment

To deploy your site, build the static files:

```bash
hugo
```

This will generate the `public/` directory, which contains the complete static site. Upload its contents to your hosting provider or connect with a platform like [Netlify](https://www.netlify.com/) or [Vercel](https://vercel.com/).

## Built With

* [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) – A fast and flexible static site generator.
* [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/) – A utility-first CSS framework for rapid UI development.
* [Light illustrations by Abell Vo](https://www.figma.com/community/file/1022163547182520272) – The design inspiration behind the theme.
