I want to have two different themes, one for the general site, and another for a section. When I did some research on how to go about this, this suggests creating a separate static site: [image] How to have two themes for different sections of a site? Hi all, I would like to have two th…

The question is where you want the complexity to be. It’s up to you. Do you want to put the complexity in the theme or the deployment?

By ‘deployment’, do you mean deploying parts of the site separately?

Yes that might be useful, in that case would I do this by having the separate static sites option?

Yes. Separate sites is the complex deployment option, although I don’t think it’s overly complex.

If I have separate sites, can I still have them under the same domain??

Yes, we have some mini-sites that we deploy as sub-directories on a larger non-Hugo site.

Wouldnt this be regardded as two different sites b Google and Google Analytics?? Im just a bit concerned that this wont be regarded as the same website, and that its just a lazy workaround

We already do this in production and use Google Analytics. Nothing lazy about it. It’s just static content. It’s not that complicated. Use the same Google Analytics ID, and you’ll be fine.

Could you direct me to information that tells you how to configure either separate sites or subdirectories, as I have need for both for different projects. Also you mentioned you also use a non-hugo site, could you talk about how you use Hugo with a non-Hugo site? thanks
