## What it is
PaperMod is a fast, clean, and responsive theme for the Hugo static site generator, built for blogs and portfolio sites. It ships with light/dark modes, multilingual support, client-side search, SEO metadata, and multiple home layout modes with no Node.js build dependencies.

- minimal responsive hugo theme for a portfolio site
- add dark mode and multilingual support to a static blog

- lightweight blog theme without node build tools

## When to choose
- you are building a blog, portfolio, or documentation-style site with Hugo
