# 🎈 The original intention and design goals of this theme
# Original intention
The original intention of making this theme was to find that VuePress is just a pure static document generator. For example, it will not inject meta tags for SEO optimization, nor will it generate a Sitemap to help search engines index the content of the document.
At the same time, as Evan You switched to VitePress driven by Vite, the community ecosystem of VuePress was getting worse and worse. Some developers took up the most intuitive plugin names, such as copy-code feed seo sitemap, etc, while provides weak functions and no longer provides any updates.
At the same time, though VuePress has extended Markdown syntax to a certain extent, it still lacks some commonly used functions, such as text alignment, mark, flowchart, formula, presentation, etc. At the same time, some features provided by the default theme are weak or missing, such as picture preview, dark mode, etc.
In this case, the design of vuepress-theme-hope was born. Since the developer, Mr. Hope, majors in physics while not good at design, this theme maintains the simple style of the default theme with little changes, while dedicates to provide a full range of enhancements for VuePress.
# Design goals
