Getting Started

Docs Launchpad is designed for teams that need production-ready docs with minimal setup.

Run locally

  1. Install dependencies:
npm install
  1. Start the dev server:
npm run dev
  1. Open http://localhost:3000.

How routes are generated

  • content/docs/index.mdx maps to /docs/home.
  • content/docs/getting-started/index.md maps to /docs/getting-started.
  • Nested files map to nested routes, for example: content/docs/reference/seo-checklist.mdx -> /docs/reference/seo-checklist.

Add your first page

Create a Markdown or MDX file under content/docs.

Example file path:

content/docs/guides/my-new-page.md

Each page supports frontmatter keys:

  • title
  • description
  • tags
  • section
  • order
  • updated

Slug rules

  • index.md becomes the folder slug.
  • Nested folders become nested URLs.
  • File names are converted directly to URL segments.

Ship checklist

  1. Replace starter copy with your project documentation.
  2. Set NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL in environment variables.
  3. Validate npm run lint, npm run typecheck, and npm run build.
  4. Deploy and submit your sitemap to search consoles.
