In **Hugo**, pages are the core of your site.

The theme generates the navigation menu out of the given directory structure.

Organize your site like [any other Hugo project](https://gohugo.io/content/structure/). Typically, you will have a _content_ directory with all your pages.

> While you can also go different, `_index.md` (with an underscore) is recommended for each directory, it's your _directory's home page_.
