Good fit for Tech-forward owners who want a free static site, version-controlled content, and zero hosting bills at small scale.
Weak at Editor learning curve; no built-in e-commerce; requires a deploy on every content change.

Replaces these SaaS
- Squarespace · Website builder + hosting
Install Hugo (`brew install hugo` or distro package), pick a theme from themes.gohugo.io. Squarespace export → run a community converter (e.g. `squarespace-to-hugo`) that emits Markdown front-matter from the WP-XML export. Wire up Decap CMS (formerly Netlify CMS) for a browser-based editor UI that commits to the same git repo.
