Hi everyone!
Iโd like to share **Localcraft** , a Hugo theme designed specifically for small local service businesses (hairdressers, beauty salons, pet groomers, massage parlors, etc.).
It features an organic, warm minimalist design and focuses on speed, performance, and easy management.
Key Features:
- **Fast & Lightweight:** Vanilla JS only (no heavy frameworks).
- **Automatic Image Optimization:** Built-in WebP conversion, responsive sizes, and lazy loading.
- **Responsive Design:** Mobile-first approach.
- **Multilingual (i18n):** Easy multi-language setup.
- **SEO & Privacy:** JSON-LD, Open Graph, and GTM with GDPR cookie consent.
- **Interactive Extras:** Before/after image sliders for galleries.
Links:
- **Live Demo:** [https://maciejkosiarski.github.io/localcraft/en/](https://maciejkosiarski.github.io/localcraft/)
- **GitHub Repository:** [https://github.com/maciejkosiarski/localcraft](https://www.google.com/search?q=https://github.com/maciejkosiarski/localcraft)
Feel free to check it out! Any feedback or suggestions are welcome.
