Is it a good decision to use MkDocs for building static sites?
Hi, I'm a middle schooler who's new to coding websites. I just started using GitHub and MkDocs. I'm using those websites to create my first site, which I hope will turn out well. I want my website to look really slick and interesting. I'm wondering if MkDocs is really worth using to build static sites.
- encryptluks2 5y agoMkDocs is more for documentation, but sure you can use it for a static site. However, you may want to compare it to something like Hugo which is more geared towards general site creation.

- encryptluks2 5y agoIn that case, checkout mdbook as well.
- kulsumshannan 5y agoI just checked out mdbook- I think Material for MkDocs looks better (in my opinion). Thank you though!
- intesar 5y agoYes, MkDocs is a decent option for hosting static sites on GitHub.
