This is a static site built on a Mac with Hugo. Content is hosted on Gitlab and Dropbox and served by Netlify. E-mails are handled via Hostinger from the Netherlands.
For its first ten years this website ran on WordPress, the excellent, free open-source CMS. Between 2017 and 2019 it ran on the much slimmer, quicker, more straightforward (and database-free) system, Kirby. In an attempt to avoid Kirby’s license fee inflation and migration headaches from v2.0 to v3.0 I decided to move to a static website model powered by Hugo. This has proved to make writing, website design management all a pleasure once again while also giving me plenty of time to focus on my other interests. Plus, Hugo lets me edit this site completely offline which is great if I want to put in a few minutes of work while on the go. As of 2022 this set-up remains intact and I have no thoughts of changing things.
