Simple documentation software

A simple documentation platform for small teams

If you want docs that are easy to publish and easy to maintain, this page is for you. Hosted.md is hosted docs for small teams with one flat price per site, no deployment work, no maintenance work, and optional Git integration.

What "simple" should mean

Simple docs software should remove process, not remove useful structure.

  • Write and publish without managing another app stack
  • Keep public docs stable as the product changes
  • Use one clear pricing model instead of layered plans
  • Stay focused on docs quality, not documentation infrastructure

Why simple documentation software matters

Most teams do not need more documentation tooling. They need a setup they can run consistently.

A simple documentation platform helps small teams keep public documentation current without pulling time into deploy pipelines, platform updates, and hosting operations.

What to look for in a simple docs setup

Simple should still cover core publishing needs. This is what to expect.

  • Public docs hosting that does not require your own deployment flow
  • Navigation and search that help users find answers quickly
  • A workflow your team can keep up with during product releases
  • Clear pricing and low operational overhead for documentation for small teams
  • Enough flexibility to work with or without Git

If your main goal is to avoid owning another docs app in production, this guide on documentation without running another app is a useful next read.

Simple hosted docs vs heavier docs suites

The difference is usually not page editing. It is how much setup and maintenance work the platform adds.

Heavier documentation suites

  • Broader feature sets built for larger internal workflows
  • More process around permissions and collaboration layers
  • Higher platform complexity to evaluate and maintain
  • Can be useful for teams with enterprise requirements
