### Why Hugo?

In our early research we looked at Ionic’s [site](https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic) to get some inspiration. They used Jekyll to build their website. While Jekyll is a great generator, the build times for larger sites can be painfully slow. With more than 150 pages plus many custom configurations and add-ons, our website doesn’t fall into the low-volume category anymore. Our developers want a smooth experience when working on the website and our content editors need the ability to preview content quickly. In short, we need our builds to be lightning fast.

We knew Hugo was fast but we did [some additional benchmarking](https://forestry.io/blog/hugo-vs-jekyll-benchmark/) before making our decision. Seeing Hugo in action is a whole different world of awesome. Hugo takes less than one second to build our 150-page site! Take a look:

### What tools did we use?
|

|

* Our Norwegian designer Nichlas is in love with [**Sketch**](https://www.sketchapp.com/). From what we hear it’s a designer’s dream come true.
|
||||
* Some say our main graphic is [mesmerizing](https://x.com/hmncllctv/status/968907474664284160). Nichlas created it using [**3DS Max**](https://www.autodesk.com/products/3ds-max/overview).
|
||||
* [**Hugo**](https://gohugo.io/) -- of course.
|
||||
* Chris can’t think of modern web development without [**Gulp**](https://gulpjs.com/) & [**Webpack**](https://webpack.js.org/). We used them to add additional build steps such as Browsersync, CSS, JS and SVG optimization.
|
||||
* Speaking about adding steps to our build, our lives would be much harder without [**CircleCI**](https://circleci.com/) for continuous deployment and automated testing purposes.
|
||||
* We can’t stop raving about [**Algolia**](https://www.algolia.com/). Chris loves it and even wrote a tutorial on [how to implement Algolia](https://forestry.io/blog/search-with-algolia-in-hugo/) into static sites using Hugo’s [Custom Outputs](/templates/output-formats/).
|
||||
* [**Cloudinary**](https://cloudinary.com/) is probably one of the easiest ways to get responsive images into your website.
|
||||
* We might be a little biased on this one - We think [**Forestry.io**](https://forestry.io/) is a great way to add a content management system with a clean UI on top of your site without interrupting your experience as a developer.
|
||||
* For hosting purposes we use the almighty [**AWS**](https://aws.amazon.com/).
|
||||
* [**Formspree.io**](https://formspree.io/) is managing our support and enterprise requests.
|
||||
* We also use browser cookies and JS to customize our user’s experience and give it a more dynamic feel.
