There are a lot of tools out there for creating documentation websites. So why should you choose Prodcat? In this article, we'll compare Prodcat to some of the other popular options and explain why we think Prodcat is the best choice for product documentation.

Prodcat vs. WordPress​

WordPress is a popular choice for creating websites, but it's not the best choice for product documentation. WordPress is a general-purpose CMS, which means it's not optimized for documentation. It can be difficult to create a well-structured documentation website with WordPress, and it can be even more difficult to maintain it over time.

Prodcat, on the other hand, is specifically designed for product documentation. It's easy to create a well-structured website with Prodcat, and it's even easier to maintain it.

Prodcat vs. Read the Docs​

Read the Docs is a popular platform for hosting documentation, but it's not a documentation generator. You still have to write the documentation yourself, and then you have to upload it to Read the Docs.

With Prodcat, the entire process is automated. You simply add your products to a products.js file, and Prodcat does the rest. It automatically generates a beautiful, feature-rich website for you.

Prodcat vs. Docusaurus​

Prodcat is built on top of Docusaurus, which is a popular static site generator. But Docusaurus is a general-purpose tool, which means it's not optimized for product documentation. You still have to do a lot of work to create a product documentation website with Docusaurus.

Prodcat takes care of all the heavy lifting for you. It provides you with a pre-configured Docusaurus project that's optimized for product documentation. It also provides you with a set of Handlebars templates that you can use to generate your product pages.

Conclusion​

In conclusion, there are a lot of tools out there for creating documentation websites. But if you're looking for a tool that's specifically designed for product documentation, then Prodcat is the best choice for you. It's easy to use, it's highly customizable, and it's built on top of the best technologies available.
