FAQ
Answers to the questions we hear most often.
Do I need to install anything to run the site?
No. Download it and run
hugo server — Alpine is vendored and the stylesheet is prebuilt. Run npm install only if you want live Tailwind recompilation or TinaCMS.How do I change the colours and fonts?
Click the palette icon in the navbar and pick a theme. Each theme sets its own colours and a matching font pairing, and your choice is saved.
How does checkout work?
Payments are handled by FastSpring as Merchant of Record — a popup checkout opens over the page, and tax/VAT is handled for you. Add your FastSpring store path to enable it.
Can I use my own images?
Yes. Set the
heroImage or image field in a post or product’s front matter to any URL, or point it at a self-hosted file.Is the site good for SEO?
Yes — it ships JSON-LD (Article, Product, FAQ, Organization), Open Graph tags, a sitemap, RSS feeds and clean taxonomy pages out of the box.
How do I add ads?
Set your AdSense publisher id in
hugo.toml under params.ads. Slots are already placed in the article rail and in-feed; empty config shows labelled placeholders.
