What a Real Documentation Site Does — And What Notion Can't

A developer lands on your docs homepage. They scan the sidebar, run Cmd+K to search, click a code example, and copy-paste into their terminal — all in under 40 seconds. That workflow breaks when your documentation lives in Notion wikis with no versioning, README files with no navigation, or bloated React sites that take 6 seconds to become interactive. Documentation website development gives your product a structured reference site: MDX content authoring, sidebar auto-generation from file structure, version branches per release, Algolia full-text search, syntax-highlighted code blocks, OpenAPI spec rendering, and dark mode — built on Astro Starlight with zero client-side JavaScript and 98+ Lighthouse scores. Your docs become the SEO entry point for product discovery, the close tool for enterprise sales, and the retention layer that keeps developers from opening support tickets.

專案失敗的原因

Docs live in a wiki or Notion — no versioning, no SEO, no discoverability Developers can't find answers, support tickets spike, adoption stalls.
README files are the only documentation you ship Enterprise buyers see an immature product and walk away.
Your current docs site is slow and bloated with client-side JavaScript Poor Core Web Vitals kill Google rankings for your most important pages.
API reference is manually maintained and constantly out of sync with your spec Developers integrate incorrectly, file bugs, and blame your documentation.
No search, or search that returns irrelevant results Developers leave your site and find answers on Stack Overflow instead.
The content team can't update docs without engineering deploying changes Docs fall behind product releases and create a permanent knowledge gap.

合規

MDX Content Authoring

Write docs in Markdown with embedded React, Vue, or Svelte components. Non-engineers update content via Git or a headless CMS without touching build config.

Doc Versioning

Ship versioned documentation tied to product releases. Users switch between versions instantly, and old docs stay indexed and accessible.

Integrated Search

Pagefind for zero-cost static search, or Algolia DocSearch for enterprise-grade full-text results. Sub-50ms response times on every query.

OpenAPI Reference

Auto-generate interactive API reference pages from your OpenAPI/Swagger spec. Stays in sync with your codebase via CI pipeline.

Syntax Highlighting + Code Blocks

Shiki-powered syntax highlighting for 100+ languages. Tabbed code examples, copy buttons, and line annotations built in.

Dark Mode + Accessibility

System-aware dark mode ships by default. WCAG 2.1 AA compliant typography, contrast ratios, and keyboard navigation throughout.

常見問題

為什麼選擇 Astro Starlight 而不是 Docusaurus 來建立文檔網站?

Starlight 預設不包含任何客戶端 JavaScript — 頁面載入速度更快、Lighthouse 分數更高。它支援 MDX、React、Vue、Svelte 和 Solid 組件在同一個專案中使用。Docusaurus 只支援 React,且會載入更重的 JS 套件。對於性能和 SEO 重要的文檔網站,Starlight 總是勝出。

你們可以從 GitBook 或 ReadMe 遷移我們現有的文檔嗎?

可以。我們會從 GitBook、ReadMe、Confluence 或任何基於 Markdown 的平台匯出你的內容,將其重組為 MDX,並遷移到 Starlight,同時設置正確的重定向。現有的 URL 會取得 301 重定向,所以你不會失去搜尋排名。大多數遷移會在一到兩週內完成,取決於頁面數量。

版本化文檔在 Starlight 中如何運作?

我們設置一個與你的發佈週期相關的版本控制工作流程。每個版本都有自己的內容目錄。使用者可以從下拉選單選擇他們的產品版本,整個側邊欄和內容都會相應更新。舊版本仍會被搜尋引擎索引,並可透過直接 URL 存取。

Pagefind 和 Algolia 用於文檔搜尋有什麼區別?

Pagefind 是一個完全在瀏覽器中執行的靜態搜尋索引 — 沒有外部依賴、沒有成本。Algolia DocSearch 是一個託管服務,具有拼寫容錯、分析和分面搜尋功能。對於大多數文檔網站,我們推薦 Pagefind,當你需要搜尋分析或處理 1,000 頁以上的內容時,才建議使用 Algolia。

我們的 DevRel 團隊可以在沒有開發人員幫助的情況下更新文檔嗎?

當然可以。我們設置一個基於 Git 的工作流程,讓你的團隊直接在 GitHub 中編輯 MDX 檔案,並透過 CI/CD 自動部署更改。對於非技術貢獻者,我們可以整合無頭 CMS(如 Keystatic 或 Tina),為他們提供具有即時預覽的視覺編輯器。

你們如何處理 OpenAPI / Swagger spec 整合?

我們直接從你的 OpenAPI spec 檔案自動產生互動式 API 參考頁面。建置管道會從你的儲存庫取得最新的 spec,產生包含請求/回應範例的端點頁面,並將它們與你的指南一起部署。當你的 API 更改時,文檔會在下一次建置時更新。
