Hi All,
New to using hugo, but I’ve been building websites for around 10 years, know html/css pretty well, started using wordpress 7 years ago and got lazy, been doing some SEO for the past year on a website and have some great results but cant get the big keywords, site speed is something I really want to improve and using Hugo is how I plan to do it. I have already deployed the test site onto a server and without gzip etc it’s already so much better, I’m upset with myself for not looking into hugo sooner!
Anyway, enough talk. I have setup 2 new pages, and starting re-templating them to suit the business. I have the index.md with the main content in it, the template file (single.html) I have adjusted it to pull in a partial for a sidebar / callback form. I have also used a partial to create some generic content which will be featured on the majority of these pages.
So far so good. The Issue I have at the moment is the page layout has a header block/slideslow. It will be the same on each page but I plan on the writing and image changing per page. I can use {{ .Title }} for the H1, but I was hoping there would be some sort of short description variable, or even set up a custom variable to pull this in. I have attached an image of what I want to achieve.
My aim is to have the header block setup in the variables somewhere, the main content pulling in from index.md and then I can use partials to build the remainder of the page. I’m just unsure how I can achieve this at the moment, or atleast the best way of doing this. I think either the variables or somehow creating a header.md and pulling it into the template, but that seems a little overkill.
Appreciate any help, I’m planning on doing this quite quick, website is around 90 pages, 6/7 different templates needed and the wordpress hosting needs to be renewed early Feb, with the initial test results being so much better on a rubbish cheap server I’m looking forward to seeing what we can achieve.
thanks
Scott
