Doks is a Hugo theme helping you build modern documentation websites that are secure, fast, and SEO-ready — by default.
Nine reasons why you should use Doks:
-
Security aware. Get A+ scores on Mozilla Observatory out of the box. Easily change the default Security Headers to suit your needs.
-
Fast by default. Get 100 scores on Google Lighthouse by default. Doks removes unused css, prefetches links, and lazy loads images.
-
SEO-ready. Use sensible defaults for structured data, open graph, and Twitter cards. Or easily change the SEO settings to your liking.
-
Development tools. Code with confidence. Check styles, scripts, and markdown for errors and fix automatically or manually.
-
Bootstrap framework. Build robust, flexible, and intuitive websites with Bootstrap 5. Easily customize your Doks site with the source Sass files.
-
Netlify-ready. Deploy to Netlify with sensible defaults. Easily use Netlify Functions, Netlify Redirects, and Netlify Headers.
-
Full text search. Search your Doks site with FlexSearch. Easily customize index settings and search options to your liking.
-
Page layouts. Build pages with a landing page, blog, or documentation layout. Add custom sections and components to suit your needs.
-
Dark mode. Switch to a low-light UI with the click of a button. Change colors with variables to match your branding.
Doks uses npm to centralize dependency management, making it easy to update resources, build tooling, plugins, and build scripts:
- Download and install Node.js (it includes npm) for your platform.
