Web Hosting VuePress Websites

In this article, we’re going to take a look at how VuePress can be used to build a simple technical documentation website. VuePress is a static site generator with plenty of built-in features suitable for creating such sites, plus comes equipped with a default theme featuring classic documentation site aesthetics.

VuePress websites use markdown files for content generation, then are generated automatically using vuepress’ templates. This creates fully functional websites that can be deployed onto any server that supports static HTML and JS sites. VuePress makes an ideal solution for technical documentation as it allows your team to collaborate collaboratively on editing the documentation (using Notepad, VS Code or even plain old Command Line editors), before the site itself automatically generated itself.

VuePress offers built-in support for creating navigation bars and search functionality on your site, something often forgotten in other documentation tools and can become tedious when manually added manually through other technologies. This feature makes VuePress stand out among its competition as it makes these tasks much simpler!

VuePress also comes equipped with an excellent tool called cdnjs that makes adding canonical URL tags simple, which is essential in ranking higher in search engine results since this tells search engines which version of your page to show for specific queries.
