Requires Hugo installed locally to build and preview the site, but no database or external services beyond that.
This repository holds the source code for the Budibase website. Budibase itself is a tool that helps teams quickly build internal business apps, and this specific project is just the code that powers their public-facing marketing site. Rather than building the main application, this code is responsible for displaying the web pages that tell visitors what the product does and how it works. The site is built using a tool called Hugo, which generates web pages ahead of time from simple text files rather than requiring a traditional database or a complex content management system. This means that when someone wants to add or update a page on the site, they essentially write a text document and the system handles turning it into a finished web page. The finished site is then hosted and published automatically using a service called Netlify. The people who would work with this repository are the marketing team, technical writers, or developers responsible for maintaining the company's online presence. For example, if the team wanted to publish a new blog post, announce a product feature, or update the pricing page, they would make those changes here. The setup is intentionally lightweight, making it straightforward for content creators to manage the site without needing to navigate a heavy or complicated backend system. One notable aspect of this project is its focus on simplicity and performance. By skipping a traditional content management system entirely, the site avoids the overhead that can slow things down. The README mentions that they use Google Lighthouse to verify performance, which is a standard tool for checking that web pages load quickly and meet good technical baselines.
