๐Ÿ“– About the Project

GitBook hired me to revamp and streamline multiple documentation sites to enhance usability, improve branding consistency, and create a better developer experience. The goal was to make documentation sites visually engaging, easy to navigate, and aligned with each companyโ€™s identity. The project was done in batches of 5 sites per milestone, ensuring a structured workflow.

๐Ÿค” My Approach

To ensure each documentation site met GitBookโ€™s standards and branding requirements, I followed a structured process that balanced content organization, design consistency, and technical enhancements. My process included:
Understanding requirements
Worked closely with the GitBook team to align on branding, navigation, and overall structure.
Content Optimization
Organized documentation into clear sections, improving readability and navigation flow.
Design Enhancements
Applied brand-aligned colors, custom logos, and consistent UI elements for a polished look.
Feature Integration
Implemented GitBook functionalities like AI Ask, API reference blocks, and structured menus.
Testing & Feedback Loop
Ensured usability and incorporated client feedback iteratively for refinements.
This structured approach helped create visually engaging, user-friendly documentation while maintaining efficiency and scalability across multiple projects.

20+ documentation sites redesigned and structured for clarity and engagement.

API references and technical content organized to improve the developer experience and accessibility.
