Build blazing-fast technical and academic sites in minutes
Open-source toolkit for creating SEO-optimized academic, portfolio, and documentation sites using Hugo, Markdown, and drag-and-drop blocks. Deploy static sites with no vendor lock-in.
Hugo Blox is an open-source website builder designed for researchers, academics, startups, and technical teams who need professional sites without the overhead. Built on Hugo and Tailwind CSS, it transforms Markdown, Jupyter notebooks, and BibTeX files into blazing-fast static sites that consistently achieve perfect Lighthouse scores.
Ideal for AI researchers managing lab sites with auto-syncing publications, academics building CVs and portfolios, startups launching documentation and landing pages, and educators creating course sites. The drag-and-drop block system lets non-developers customize layouts while developers retain full control through a modern, Git-based workflow.
Choose from MIT-licensed templates, customize with pre-built blocks for heroes, testimonials, features, and FAQs, then deploy to GitHub Pages, Netlify, or any static host. Write content in Markdown or Jupyter, integrate BibTeX for automatic publication updates, and extend functionality with React components. Premium templates and blocks are available through a one-time Pro upgrade, but the core remains fully open and extendable.
When teams consider Hugo Blox, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Academic Lab Site with Auto-Updating Publications
Researchers save 40+ hours by syncing BibTeX files, increasing citation visibility by 3× through SEO-optimized publication pages.
Startup Documentation Portal
Technical teams launch comprehensive docs in 10 minutes, reducing onboarding time by 60% with searchable Markdown content.
Personal Academic CV and Portfolio
Academics create professional online presence with teaching, research, and publication sections deployed to custom domains via GitHub Pages.
SaaS Landing Page with Course Integration
Founders build marketing sites with testimonials, pricing tables, and embedded course content using drag-and-drop blocks without hiring developers.
No. The browser-based builder lets you pick templates and customize blocks without code. Developers can optionally work locally with Hugo CLI and extend with React.
The MIT-licensed core includes essential blocks and templates. Pro is a one-time donation unlocking exclusive premium templates, advanced blocks, and lifetime updates.
Yes. Hugo Blox supports Markdown and BibTeX imports. You can migrate content from Jekyll, WordPress, or other platforms by converting to Markdown format.
Anywhere static sites are hosted: GitHub Pages, Netlify, Vercel, AWS S3, or your own server. The builder includes one-click GitHub Pages deployment.
Drop your .bib file into the content folder. Hugo Blox automatically generates publication pages with metadata, abstracts, and citation links that update when you modify the BibTeX file.
