# Our Website is Life

 
There are 1.09 billion websites. One more as of today. Accessible under the domain: lightwaves.io. »io« because it’s modern and we might also go international one day. So we're gonna make sites for the French or Italians, for example. <!--more--> 
By the way, the majority of the 1.09 billion websites mentioned at the beginning are inactive. In fact, 82%. If you don't want this to happen to you, just get in touch. However, this is not about a deal, but about content ... so ... You have probably noticed that our website plays a few tunes (as we say here in Austria). That's why this is gonna be an »About post« in which we share our experiences with programming and explain why we decided against WordPress. And yes: The design is a bit inspired by the Airpods. Cool.


## Hugo as a base {class=text-accented}
There are only a few tools that are met with such unanimous approval among sophisticated nerds as the static site generator [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/). Written in the programmer favorite [Go](https://go.dev/). As fast as a Maserati and as cheap as a test drive – in other words, free (because it's open source) – Hugo is a so-called static site generator (SSG for short). This means the following for you:

- [x] less dependencies & maintenance effort than WordPress
- [x] more security because less attack surface
- [x] better performance because fewer requests


Sounds cryptic. But that's exactly how it is. So here is a collective thread on Hugo topics, which will be expanded in the future. We promise.
