Most web browsers don't render modern static websites with AJAX,
accessibility, mobile rendering, semantic search etc from file:// for
security reasons. The problem is in the web browser, not in the site.

If you're super adverse to running Hugo, the Python 2 program below will
serve a static website onto localhost for you. Taken from
https://docs.python.org/2/library/simplehttpserver.html:

```
import SimpleHTTPServer
import SocketServer

PORT = 8000

Handler = SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler

httpd = SocketServer.TCPServer(("", PORT), Handler)

print "serving at port", PORT
httpd.serve_forever()
```

Start using:

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
