I recently migrated this website from the WordPress platform to Hugo. I wanted to go into details on why I made the decision to change CMS platforms, and what the process was for completing the migration.

Entire countries were and still are under full or partial lock down, air travel is virtually non-existent and manufacturing is seriously impacted. I won’t even get into the economic repercussions since that will take a long time to determine once the Pandemic is finally over.
