Tutorials

Total reading time: about 27 min



The tutorials are under construction and are incomplete.

These tutorials will help you learn how to create your websites with this theme, especially if you’ve never used Hugo before!

They don’t assume you know anything about Hugo and are made to teach you everything you’ll need to know from scratch.

Hugo has its own tutorials, but they are more general than Silicate’s ones and asume you are a software developer – they can be overwhelming.

Unlike what the Hugo tutorials tells you, no, you don’t need Git – no, you don’t to be comfortable with the command line (although you will use it a little)!

Silicate’s tutorials try to remain as simple as possible.
