Dimension
Dimension is a single page and responsive site template. It is a port of HTML5 UP's Dimension theme.
Installation
Run the following commands inside your Hugo site folder:
$ cd themes
$ git clone https://github.com/sethmacleod/dimension.git
Getting Started
After installation, you will need to configure the config.toml file, change pictures, and write your pages.
The config file
Copy the config.toml from the exampleSite folder into your Hugo site's root folder. Change the fields as needed. Add or delete social media by following the examples in the file. You may need to look up the font-awesome icon names. The icon field should be filled out without the "fa" prefix. The icon field for Twitter should be 'twitter' instead of 'fa-twitter'.
You can change the logo as well with font-awesome icons. The default is set to fa-diamond.
Changing pictures
Create an img folder in the static folder of your site -- not the theme's static folder. Add pictures to /static/img as needed. If you want to change the background image, the replacement image should be named bg.jpg.
Writing your pages
To create a new page, run the following command inside your Hugo sites:
$ hugo new your-page.md
Change your-page to what you want to name the file. There are three variables that you can change: title, weight, and draft. Weight is set to 0 by default, so be sure to change it.
You can also copy the pages from the exampleSite folder and modify those pages.
Contact Form
You will need to use an external service for the contact form since static sites cannot handle forms on their own. One such service is Formspree. Formspree has a free tier. Check out the formspree.md page in the exampleSite folder for a template.
