Modern Documentation Theme

Doks is a Hugo theme for building secure, fast, and SEO-ready documentation websites, which you can easily update and customize.

Get Started

Open-source MIT Licensed. GitHub v0.5.0

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.

Manage the modern web

The modern web is decoupled and modular. Doks uses npm to centralize dependency management, making it easy to update resources, build tooling, plugins, and build scripts.
