Create your first page

The page file

After you setup Lume in your project's folder (see installation instructions if you don't have it yet), create the file index.md and add some content in markdown format, for example:

# Welcome to my website

This is my first page using **Lume,** a static site generator for Deno.

I hope you enjoy it.

Build and open the page

Run deno task serve in your terminal. This task does two things:

• Build your site. The index.md file is compiled and exported as index.html in the folder _site.
• Starts a local web server, so you can see the generated site in your browser. Open the url http://localhost:3000/ in your browser to see the page.

Congratulations, you have created your first page with Lume! 🎉
