I have been buiding around 30 Jekyll websites per year in the last 6 years. I recently switched completely to Hugo and I have been porting multiple websites from Jekyll to Hugo. I learned a few things along the way that you will need to know too, when you make the step from Jekyll to Hugo. I have been having a hard time learning Hugo, but in the end it was worth it, especially because of the low build times and the build-in image conversion I have gained.
