Content Team Guide

Image Resizing

We have created an imgresize shortcode which will automatically do image resizing for you.

Suppose you have an image in images directory named:

sitting-room.jpg

Rather than embedding this in your post by doing:

<img src="/images/sitting-room.jpg" />

You would do:

{{< imgresize src="sitting-room.jpg" size="800x" >}}

Where 800x means width of 800px. If you want height of 800px you would do x800. For more information on this option see image resizing in hugo see: https://gohugo.io/content-management/image-processing/

Assets

All assets for the site are stored in this drive folder.

We use reduced (pixels and file size) versions of the images to increase pages' loading speed. All reduced images have appendix with W x H in their names.
