HugoBlox is an open-source (MIT) page-building framework for Hugo that lets users compose sites from structured Markdown and reusable Tailwind-style blocks, with optional AI-assisted page generation. It ships production-ready templates for academic CVs, portfolios, blogs, docs, landing pages, and more, deployable to GitHub Pages, Netlify, or Vercel.

Use cases

• build an academic CV site with publications from BibTeX and ORCID
• create a developer portfolio website
• launch a SaaS landing page
• publish a technical blog with Jupyter notebook support
• generate documentation for an open-source library
• make a personal website I own as Markdown files
• deploy a static site to GitHub Pages or Netlify
• write presentation slides in Markdown

When to choose

• you want a fast static Hugo site with no database or vendor lock-in
• you need an academic/research site syncing publications from ORCID, OpenAlex, Zotero, or BibTeX
• you prefer owning content as plain Markdown in a git repo
• you want free MIT-licensed templates deployable in minutes

When to avoid

• you need dynamic server-side features, user accounts, or a CMS database
• you want a fully visual drag-and-drop builder without touching Markdown or Hugo
• your team has no appetite for learning Hugo's templating model
