Infinity Hugo is a free, single-page coming-soon theme for the Hugo static site generator that publishes a countdown timer, contact form, about section, and feature list on a launch landing page before a website goes live.
What is Infinity Hugo?
Infinity Hugo is a responsive one-page Hugo theme designed for coming soon, under construction, and launch countdown pages. It takes site content defined in Hugo's configuration and content files and outputs a static landing page with a Bootstrap-based layout, a countdown timer, a contact form, and social link support. The theme is developed by Gethugothemes (created by Themefisher) and requires Hugo version 0.64.0 or higher. It is free to use under the MIT license, with demonstration images excluded from the license.
Key Features
- Onepage layout — a single-page design with sections for about, features, countdown, and contact, so a full launch page fits in one HTML page.
- Bootstrap-based styling — built on Bootstrap (v4 per the repository metadata) with jQuery, Owl Carousel, Animate, WOW, Font Awesome icons, and Google Fonts.
- Countdown timer — a built-in timer that lets visitors see how many days, hours, minutes, and seconds remain until your launch.
- Contact form support — a prebuilt contact section for collecting emails or messages before the full site launches.
- Google Analytics integration — drop in your tracking ID in the theme configuration and page views are tracked automatically.
- Netlify settings preconfigured — the repository includes Netlify configuration so deployment to Netlify works out of the box.
- SEO and sharing meta tags — includes Open Graph and Twitter Card meta tags for social sharing previews.
- Google Page Speed optimized — the demo reports a 94% Page Speed score on desktop, per the project badge.
- Sitepins CMS integration — the theme is preconfigured to edit content through Sitepins, a Git-based headless CMS, so text and images can be updated without writing code.
Who should use Infinity Hugo?
Startup founders preparing a product launch can publish a coming soon page with a countdown and email collection in minutes. Web developers who work with Hugo can clone the repository, run the project setup command, and get a local server for customizing the design. Agencies building client launch pages can deploy the theme to Netlify using the predefined settings and hand content editing to non-technical clients via Sitepins.
What can you do with Infinity Hugo?
- Startups launching a product: set a launch date, display the countdown, and collect visitor emails through the contact form.
- Developers needing a fast static page: build the Hugo site locally with npm commands and deploy the generated static files anywhere, including Netlify.
- Marketers creating a landing page: edit the about and feature sections to explain what is coming, with Open Graph and Twitter Card tags controlling previews on social media.
- Non-technical site owners: use the Sitepins visual editor to update content without touching HTML or configuration files.
How does Infinity Hugo work?
The workflow starts by cloning the repository and running npm run project-setup to prepare the project, then npm run dev to start a local development server. Content lives in Hugo's configuration and data files, and the theme renders it as a static HTML page. For content updates without code, the Sitepins CMS integration lets editors clone the repository and edit visually through their browser.
Pricing
Infinity Hugo is free. The code is released under the MIT license, so the theme can be used for commercial and personal projects. The images bundled as demonstrations are not covered by the MIT license and carry their own licenses, so production sites should replace them.
