Welcome to the All-New Tortoiz Themes – Built for Speed, Powered by Hugo

Hey there,
I’m Shail, the founder of Tortoiz Themes, and I’m thrilled to officially welcome you to the completely redesigned and upgraded version of our theme shop!

Whether you’re discovering us for the first time or returning as a long-time supporter, you’re in for a treat. The new site is faster, lighter, and cleaner, all to help you explore our collection of high-quality Jekyll themes (and more) with ease.

Why We Rebuilt Tortoiz Themes from the Ground Up

As a creator on ThemeForest, I’ve learned that a great user experience doesn’t end with a great theme — it starts with how people find, explore, and interact with your website.

So I asked: What would a better Tortoiz Themes experience look like?

• A more modern design that reflects our growing brand
• Lightning-fast load times on every device
• Simpler navigation to help you find the perfect theme faster
• A structure that’s future-proof for new releases and features

So we tore it all down… and rebuilt it the right way.

Why We Chose Hugo to Power the New Site

We switched from a traditional setup to Hugo, one of the fastest static site generators out there. And the difference is huge.

Why Hugo?

• Speed: Hugo builds sites in milliseconds, making for ultra-fast page loads.
• Performance: With no database or backend bloat, it’s pure efficiency.
• Control: Every detail of the site — from SEO to layout — is fully customizable.
• Scalability: As our library of Jekyll themes grows, Hugo keeps things lean and fast.

The Numbers: Our New Google PageSpeed Score

We’re proud of the results — and the data backs it up:

• Performance: 87
• Accessibility: 100
• Best Practices: 100
• SEO: 100

The site is now fully optimized, lightning-fast, and mobile-first. Whether you’re browsing from your laptop or your phone, the new Tortoiz Themes site is built to perform.

What’s Coming to Tortoiz Themes

This redesign is just the beginning. Here’s a look at what’s ahead:

• More beautifully crafted Jekyll themes and static site templates
• Helpful tutorials and setup guides for beginners and pros
• Enhanced theme demos and preview experiences
• A newsletter with updates, tips, and special deals
• More ways to connect and support you as you build your dream site

I started Tortoiz Themes with one goal: to make it easier (and more fun) to build stunning websites with clean, responsive themes. Whether you’re a blogger, developer, or small business owner, we’re here to help you bring your ideas to life — one theme at a time.
