I do love Hugo but when your trying to post blogs and resize images and speed to publish WP by far is best solution especially for NON tech users. Which brings me to this question we are migrating all of our hugo sites to Wordpress and I cant find a good resource for doing this. I know if I can compile all Hugo to Json in a file dump I can use a WP plugin to move Json into WP posts and pages. Happy easter all.

There's probably a tool for this, but I've never encountered it. I have a couple of rarely-touched sites I've built using Hugo, but it isn't an everyday tool for me.

I think Hugo is great for small sites where the developer is the primary maintainer (blog/portfolio site/side project), or massive sites with a technical team that need the performance benefits of static sites. I'd be hesitant build any of my clients' sites with Hugo, however.

I just started using Netlify CMS and now making changes to my posts and page in Hugo is actually faster than making changes in Wordpress.
