Frameworks

A framework should make repeated publishing work easier to manage. Compare how your content becomes pages, where shared layouts live, and what another contributor needs to create a clean production build. Use a long article, a small archive, and an unusual content example during evaluation. Those cases reveal more about maintainability than a polished demonstration homepage alone.

The Hugo guide focuses on structured content and templates, while the Astro guide explores static pages with deliberate browser interactivity. Record tool versions, dependencies, build commands, and output directories for either approach. Keep request-time features explicit, because a component in the authoring project does not establish that the intended host can run every feature it describes.
