Building a static website in Markdown with Hugo

In this video, I'll be showing you the new website I'm building for my YouTube channel. I'm moving away from traditional website CMS like WordPress and exploring a simpler, faster approach using static websites. We’ll be building a demo website using the Hugo Framework, and I’ll guide you through the basics so you can easily create your own beautiful and fast websites. No HTML or CSS expertise is required – we're just using simple Markdown files!
