Navigator Hugo

Navigator Hugo is a Hugo-based business and corporate website theme from Gethugothemes with 7+ pre-designed pages, two homepage layouts, and built-in multilingual support.

What is Navigator Hugo?

Navigator Hugo is a static-site theme built on the Hugo framework (minimum version 0.147.2) that produces multi-page business and corporate websites. It takes content written in Markdown or via the Sitepins CMS and renders it into a Bootstrap-based site with pages for home, about, contact, portfolio, blog, and blog single. The theme is designed by Themefisher and developed by Gethugothemes, and it ships with the MIT license for code.

Key Features

• 7+ pre-designed pages — Home, About, Contact, Portfolio, Blog, and Blog Single pages are included, plus a second homepage variant for layout flexibility.
• Multiple language support — French and English are built in, letting you publish a bilingual website out of the box.
• Bootstrap-based front end — The visual layer uses Bootstrap and jQuery, with Filterizr for portfolio filtering, Lightbox2 for image galleries, Slick Slider for carousels, and Parallax effects.
• Netlify-ready configuration — Predefined Netlify settings simplify deployment to Netlify static hosting.
• Contact form support — A contact page with a form is included, though the backend handling is not specified in the README.
• GDPR consent enabled — A consent mechanism for cookies/tracking is built in, helping sites comply with European privacy rules.
• Google Maps support — The contact page can embed a Google Map for showing a business location.
• SEO and social meta tags — Open Graph and Twitter Card meta tags are included, and the demo reports a 93% Google Page Speed score.

Who is it for?

Navigator Hugo targets businesses, corporate teams, and agencies that need a quick, static-site brochure with a portfolio or blog. It also works for freelancers and personal brands who want a clean multi-page site without maintaining a dynamic CMS. The multilingual support makes it a fit for companies serving French- and English-speaking audiences.

What can you do with it?

• Agencies and studios: Showcase past work on the Portfolio page with Filterizr filtering, and add case studies via the Blog.
• Local businesses: Publish a bilingual site with contact form, Google Map, and GDPR-compliant analytics.
• Solo developers and consultants: Use the second homepage to create a personal portfolio and point a custom domain to a Netlify deployment.

How does it work?

Clone the repository, run npm run project-setup to install dependencies, then npm run dev to start a local development server. Content edits can be made directly in Markdown files, or visually through the pre-configured Sitepins headless CMS, which connects to the GitHub repository.
