In today's fast-paced world, time is a precious commodity. That's why automation is so important. In this article, we'll explore how Prodcat uses automation to save you time and effort when creating a product documentation website.

Manual vs. Automated​

Traditionally, creating a website has been a manual and time-consuming process. You had to write the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and then you had to manually create a page for each of your products. This could take days, or even weeks, depending on the number of products you have.

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 page for each of your products, as well as a main landing page and a categories page.

How it Works​

Prodcat uses a combination of technologies to automate the process of creating a website. It uses Node.js to read your products.js file, and then it uses Handlebars to generate Markdown files for each of your products. Finally, it uses Docusaurus to generate a static HTML website from the Markdown files.

The entire process is seamless and transparent. You don't need to know anything about Node.js, Handlebars, or Docusaurus to use Prodcat. You just need to know how to add your products to the products.js file.

The Benefits of Automation​

The benefits of automation are clear. By automating the process of creating a website, Prodcat can save you a significant amount of time and effort. This allows you to focus on what you do best: creating great products.

But the benefits of automation go beyond time savings. By automating the process, Prodcat also ensures that your website is consistent and professional. You don't have to worry about making a mistake or forgetting to update a page. Prodcat takes care of all the details for you.

Conclusion​

In conclusion, Prodcat is a powerful tool that uses automation to save you time and effort when creating a product documentation website. It's the perfect solution for businesses and individuals who want to create a professional-looking website without spending a lot of time and money.
