Mkdocs is a Static Site Generator for building documentation websites, written in Python. With Markdown files as its source, it is simple and straightforward to get started.

The active developer community behind Mkdocs also contributes to its continued growth, extensions and customisable themes.

A git-based MkDocs CMS that works without tedious set up

Spinal connects to your GitHub repo. That's why it's so easy to get started and publish content. Select your repo, where your Markdown files in MkDocs are stored and then your content is imported into your Spinal dashboard. That's it! No fiddling with API's, mapping Frontmatter or other quirky set up needed. Instead set up in minutes and write documentation, ready to publish.

Loved by devs and non-devs

Your dev team loves MkDocs because it is downright gorgeous for building project documentation. Your developers do nót have to change how they work. Bút you can give the rest of your team a new super power with the minimal and beautiful, yet powerful wysiwyg-editor in Spinal to write, update and schedule content for your marketing site. With one click of a button, the content is pushed to your GitHub repo. Ready to be picked up by your hosting provider. Magical!
