Hugo Sodium

Hugo Sodium is a free, responsive Hugo theme built on Bootstrap 4 that creates a business website from JSON-configured components, including cover, features/services, pricing, team, and a Formspree-backed contact form.

What is Hugo Sodium?

Hugo Sodium is a free Hugo theme by UICard designed for static business websites. It takes Hugo content and JSON configuration files as input and renders a responsive, multi-section site built on Bootstrap 4. The theme includes six core components: cover, features/services, pricing, team, contact form, plus Google Analytics and Disqus integrations. It comes with detailed documentation aimed at Hugo beginners.

Key Features

• JSON-driven components — Each site section (cover, features, pricing, team) is configured from a JSON file, letting you update content without editing HTML templates.
• Formspree contact form — The contact form works out of the box with Formspree, which forwards submissions to your email without a backend.
• Google Analytics — Built-in support for adding your Google Analytics tracking code.
• Disqus integration — Optional Disqus comment system for user engagement.
• Bootstrap 4 base — Responsive layout uses Bootstrap 4 grid and components, so the site adapts to mobile devices.
• Free version — The base theme is free and includes all six components; a Pro version adds blog, portfolio, SASS files, and extended documentation.

Who is it for?

• Hugo beginners — People new to Hugo can use the included documentation and ready-made JSON components to stand up a business site without writing templates.
• Static site developers — Developers who want a quick, clean foundation for a business site and prefer editing JSON over HTML.
• Small business owners — Owners who need a simple, low-cost site with pricing, team, and contact sections.

What can you do with Hugo Sodium?

• Launch a business landing page — Assemble cover, features, pricing, team, and contact sections by editing JSON files, then deploy the static output anywhere.
• Prototype a client site — Use the pre-built sections to mock up a business site for client review in minutes.
