My personal website

Hello everyone, I am a new user of Hugo.

A few years ago I made my personal website/portfolio using KirbyCMS, which I used mainly without interface but of which I didn’t appreciate all the PHP server part.

Considering that I am not a programmer and never programmed in Go, during my spare time I managed to convert my personal site and publish it with Hugo in less than a dozen days.

I like Hugo very much! The simplicity of the Go language and the ability to publish the site statically, plus the fact that the content is written in pure markdown make it perfect for publishing content quickly and with style.

My site is really simple: the theme adapts to various mobile devices and the user’s dark/light preferences, if the operating system supports it. The color palette is designed to be accessible and have contrast in line with current accessibility standards.

Is the theme perfect? No, in particular I still need to figure out how to improve the taxonomy and tags part. I will work on that, but I was keen to have a base to start publishing and updating content, which was the original reason for having my own site. As it matures, I plan to publish it on my github.

Is the site perfect? No, currently nginx does not serve the custom 404 page while in in the development server does.

In any case all problems that I will fix soon!

Your feedback and suggestions are welcome!
