Which theme for a company website with a navigation bar?

Hello,

I recently discovered Hugo (v 0.154) along Ananke theme while editing my own company’s website.

For some reasons, I can’t find, browsing available doc, how to set a navigation bar.

My question is: which theme would you recommend matching the following requirements:

  • is documented with an example website or something equivalent (demo, …)
  • by default, without specific Hugo configuration, renders a visible navigation bar
  • this navigation may be manually edited or automatically generated (I don’t care if recommended theme, supports any of those two alternatives).

Best regards

Even if it means more work, I would recommend creating your own theme from scratch.

Ready-made themes may seem good at first glance because they are ready to use. But new versions of Hugo often change things, making modifications necessary. Theme providers respond to these changes quickly, slowly, or not at all. With a bit of bad luck, you’ll have to make the changes yourself. And in that case, I think it’s better to change your own code, which you know, than the code of third parties. And I say that as someone who isn’t good at programming.

Try some of these themes.

But every theme has its own docs or wiki. I suspect with Ananke, you need to create the menu yourself.

I think it’s a very good idea to create my own theme as it should help to understand how Hugo is structured and learn to browse Hugo doc.

Thanks for suggesting this.

Your suggestion makes me think I can loop over a couple of different themes and compare resulting sites. Maybe one of those theme will fill my requirements without too much editing beside importing themes.

Thanks for your helpful reply.
