Developer Documentation
3 reasons to build your developer documentation with YouDoCMS.
Speed
Static documentation sites are faster and speed is a known Google metric particularly on mobile. A high bounce rate is a symptom of slow loading pages.
Security
Static sites are secure by default and are not targeted unlike WordPress. This reduces wasteful bot traffic to your site. Its a win for you and the environment.
Cost Effective
YouDoCMS is a cost-effective documentation solution for small business. Reduce your costs with low cost or free cloud hosting. Build and host docs for free with Github pages and YouDoCMS.
Why are Developer Docs different?
Documentation systems are not all the same.
Software documentation is different because it serves a dual purpose. Users refer to developer documentation when implementing software in their organisation and developers use documentation to record the software development process. However developers are notoriously reluctant to write documentation due to time constraints, technical writing skills, or lack of tools and resources. Well-written software documentation improves the quality of your software and the user experience of your software.
YouDoCMS incorporates the tools to build and publish SEO optimised and secure software documentation to the cloud. The static documentation sites achieve a 100% page insights score on desktop and mobile maximising the opportunity for your customers to find your documentation. Why not try it?

Follow best practice for creating API documentation. Keeping documentation up-to-date and tracking changes is a time-consuming process. The number one rule when creating documentation is to review frequently and update often. YouDoCMS facilitates documentation best practice by relating documentation content to tasks and a schedule with our task manager.
Improve the readability and understanding of your documentation using the Flesch readability ease score which is calculated for article within of your documentation. Documentation with long sentences and large paragraphs can be confusing particularly for a first-time user which defeats the purpose. Our reading score analysis helps you spot these issues resulting in fewer requests to the helpdesk.
