Hapticmedia Blog

Our goal was to create a simple, effective and multilingual blog on 3D technology that could be managed by a non-technical profile.

Why Hugo?

Hugo addresses all these needs, coupled with Forestry.io for its administration via a “turnkey” interface. We have attached particular importance to SEO, and therefore to the creation of an advanced taxonomy system. Thus, each author and tag has a dedicated page, listing the related posts.

What we liked

• The multilingual content support, especially simple to setup.
• The multiple environments support (develop, staging, test, production, …).
• Although a hard start with the Go language, the power of the Hugo’s templating.
• The partial layouts, including the internals (e.g. social meta tags).
• The build time, unbeatable ⚡️⚡️⚡️.

Tools & workflow

• We used the same design as our website, recreated as a Hugo HTML template.
• Hugo for the static website generator.
• CircleCI for continuous integration & deployment.
• AWS for web hosting.
• Forestry.io for the content management.

All of these tools allow our editor to manage the blog’s content without having to worry about its technical aspect, which is managed by the developers.
