Headless CMS

Skip the config file creation, Hugolify handles it automatically!

With the built-in configuration file builder in Hugolify Admin, you no longer need to create this file manually. Customizing fields is also simplified thanks to a dedicated parameters file.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions
