What is Material for MkDocs?

Material for MkDocs is everything you would expect from a modern, lightweight and extensible documentation tool. Writing your documentation in standard Markdown allows you to keep your focus where it belongs, on the content, and create a professional static site in minutes. There's no need to know HTML, CSS or JavaScript – and even if you did, you'd have no use for them. The baked-in responsive design is battle-tested for every common viewport size: be it a desktop, tablet or mobile browser viewing your site, it will always look great. This doesn't mean that it's a cookie cutter design that makes your site look like a million others, no – make it yours by changing the colors, fonts, language, icons and logo with just a few lines of configuration. If that's not enough, chances are the mature plugin ecosystem has several others ways you can customize even more aspects without leaving the core Markdown-to-HTML pipeline. Being lightweight means pages load fast so your users don't have to wait – this is one of the fastest static site themes available with excellent performance, delivering optimal search engine rankings and happy users that keep coming back. We've created a mature and actively maintained solution built with state-of-the-art open source technologies at its core, licensed under MIT.
