Where to start?

[Dan_Sullivan]

Hi all. Thanks for checking this post -
I do marketing for small businesses and I want to learn how to build sites with Cloudcannon and Hugo (based on research not experience). I have a local GitDesktop site, a flagged Github account and a broken domain… Yeah!!!

Could you point me to any starter into/tutorials? I feel like I’m trying to break into a club without the password and my learn-by-failure method is slowing. Thanks!

Hey Dan,

Welcome to CloudCannon! Here are some resources you might find helpful:

• Hugo starter guide
• Using Bookshop for live visual previews when editing in CloudCannon
• Hugo Bookshop documentation
• Our templates page (filter by SSG and select Hugo). We’ve recently released a Hugo Starter template which might help to get going. Or you can select one of our more complete Hugo templates on that page if you want something that’s a bit more ready to go out of the box.

Also feel free to book a demo call with me to help get you started, or flick me an email (tom@cloudcannon.com).
