A hugo port of HTML5UP's responsive and minimal dimension theme. With native support for Netlify's headless CMS.

Dimension

How to start

You can download the theme manually by going to https://github.com/your-identity/hugo-theme-dimension.git and pasting it to themes/dimension in your root directory.

You can also clone it directly to your Hugo folder:

$ git clone https://github.com/your-identity/hugo-theme-dimension.git themes/dimension

If you don't want to make any radical changes, it's the best option, because you can get new updates when they are available. You can also include it as a git submodule:

$ git submodule add https://github.com/your-identity/hugo-theme-dimension.git themes/dimension

How to configure

The theme doesn't require any advanced configuration. Just copy:

baseURL = "http://example.org/"
languageCode = "en-us"
title = "My New Hugo Site"
theme = "dimension"

to config.toml file in your Hugo root directory and change params fields.

NOTE: All the main page styling and configuration can be done by creating _index.md pages in the content folder and subdirectories. This choice was made to allow the use of any headless CMS (e.g. netlify) for total customization.

Post archetype

See the basic _index.md file params supported by the theme — https://github.com/your-identity/hugo-theme-dimension/blob/master/archetypes/_index.md

title: Your Name
description: A great human
background: "<path or link to image>"
logo: "<path or link to image>"

How to run your site

From your Hugo root directory run:

$ hugo server -t dimension

and go to localhost:1313 in your browser. From now on all the changes you make will go live, so you don't need to refresh your browser every single time.
