Join this live, hands-on workshop designed for technical writers, content strategists, and
developers to master static site generators (SSGs). Learn how to create lightning-fast,
easy-to-maintain documentation websites that integrate seamlessly with modern docs-as-code
workflows.
Why Learn Static Site Generators?
Static site generators are revolutionizing how documentation is authored, built, and deployed.
They enable version control, easy collaboration, and fast delivery by generating static HTML
from markdown or other lightweight markup languages.
Popular tools like Hugo, Jekyll, and Docusaurus empower documentation teams to create
beautiful, responsive sites optimized for developer and user experiences. Knowing how to
leverage SSGs is an essential skill for modern technical communicators.
Stay Ahead in Modern Docs-as-Code
Environments
As docs-as-code becomes the norm, understanding static site generators unlocks new
efficiencies. This training provides practical, real-world experience with the most popular SSGs
and shows how to integrate content workflows with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and hosting platforms
like Netlify and GitHub Pages.
Whether you’re new to web development or expanding your toolkit, this course will accelerate
your learning curve.
