# Hyas 2.0

Hyas 2.0 restructures the framework to make projects more robust, flexible, and easier to maintain as the ecosystem grows.

We are thrilled to announce Hyas v2.0 — a code restructuring release, making Hyas more robust and flexible.

## Overview

Hyas' code base is now fully modularized. Main functionalities — for example Images and SEO — are now available as separate Hyas integrations, making them easier to maintain and update. The restructured Hyas makes it easier to build any website you want.

> Hyas is a web framework designed for speed, security, and SEO — all powered by Hugo and npm.

## Key features

- **Hugo powered**: Fast website build times and flexible project organization.
- **Fully npm managed**: Straightforward and easy dependency management.
- **Production-ready**: Optimized for speed, SEO, and security.
- **Customizable**: Tailwind, Images, and other integrations to choose from.
- **Development tools**: Find and fix problems in scripts, styles, and markdown.
- **Deploy anywhere**: Deployment guides to different deployment services.

## New website

The new website tells our story better, with a fresh can of paint and a focus on content, performance, and community.
