   109  ## The `.Site.Params` Variable
   110  
   111  `.Site.Params` is a container holding the values from the `params` section of your site configuration.
   112  
   113  ### Example: `.Site.Params`
   114  
   115  The following `config.[yaml|toml|json]` defines a site-wide param for `description`:
   116  
   117  {{< code-toggle file="config" >}}
   118  baseURL = "https://yoursite.example.com/"
   119  
   120  [params]
   121    description = "Tesla's Awesome Hugo Site"
   122    author = "Nikola Tesla"
   123  {{</ code-toggle >}}
   124  
   125  You can use `.Site.Params` in a [partial template](/templates/partials/) to call the default site description:
   126  
   127  {{< code file="layouts/partials/head.html" >}}
   128  <meta name="description" content="{{if .IsHome}}{{ $.Site.Params.description }}{{else}}{{.Description}}{{end}}" />
   129  {{< /code >}}
   130  
   131  ## The `.Site.Pages` Variable {#site-pages}
   132  
   133  ### `.Site.Pages` compared to `.Pages`
   134  
   135  {{< readfile file="/content/en/readfiles/pages-vs-site-pages.md" markdown="true" >}}
   136  
   137
