Why I Built It #
I wanted a platform that was fast, flexible, and easy to maintain without relying on a heavy CMS. Hugo offered a developer-friendly experience that fit my workflow, and Blowfish gave me a solid visual foundation to build from. As a backend developer, I didn’t want to be spending a lot of time perfecting CSS classes and managing front-end display so this combination was lightweight enough to get up and running quickly. Hosting on Netlify means every update via Git is reflected almost instantly, making iterations simple and efficient.
