Is it a good decision to use MkDocs for building static sites?

#1
Hi, I'm a middle schooler who's new to coding websites. I just started using GitHub and MkDocs. I'm using those websites to create my first site, which I hope will turn out well. I want my website to look really slick and interesting. I'm wondering if MkDocs is really worth using to build static sites.

MkDocs is more for documentation, but sure you can use it for a static site. However, you may want to compare it to something like Hugo which is more geared towards general site creation.

I'm just trying to make a simple website for release notes and host it on GitHub. Thanks for your feedback!

In that case, checkout mdbook as well.

I just checked out mdbook- I think Material for MkDocs looks better (in my opinion). Thank you though!
