This guide provides a step-by-step tutorial on hosting a static website using Hugo on Netlify, including setting up continuous deployment. To get started, download the Victor Hugo template, and install the necessary dependencies. Create a new page by running `hugo new about.md` in the terminal. Update the draft status of the page to false to make it production-ready. Then, create a new post using `hugo new post/first.md`. Use the Strata theme to style your site, and configure the menu variables to include the about page link. Finally, connect your Hugo site to GitHub and Netlify, and deploy your site to Netlify. The guide covers the process of setting up a static website with Hugo on Netlify, including building, deploying, and configuring the site for continuous deployment.
