Hi everyone, I believe Ken’s PR aligns with this approach: it focuses on transitioning to Hugo without making significant changes to the look and feel yet.
This matches Matt's first point. I suggest we focus on the Hugo migration first, maintaining the current aesthetic. Once that is complete, we can move on to updating the "look and feel," followed by the "content." I propose that we merge the PRs and publish the website after each of these steps to maintain momentum.
