Prompt
I'm building a docs site for an API and want custom branding, what should I use?
Latest observation
For a branded API docs site, the best choice is usually one of these:
- Mintlify — great if you want polished, branded docs fast with minimal setup.
- Docusaurus — best if you want maximum customization and full control over the design.
- Redocly — strong if your docs are heavily based on OpenAPI specs and you want a clean API reference.
If your priority is custom branding, I’d recommend:
- Docusaurus if you want full flexibility and can handle more setup
- Mintlify if you want a beautiful, branded site with less engineering work
- Redocly if the main focus is API reference docs rather than a broader docs portal
A quick rule of thumb:
- Need speed + good design: Mintlify
- Need deep customization: Docusaurus
- Need API-first docs: Redocly
If you want, I can also recommend the best option based on:
- your tech stack
- whether you use OpenAPI
- how much design control you need
- whether docs are public or internal

How can brands improve their AEO?
Brands can build Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) by publishing on trusted, high domain-authority platforms through verified marketplaces such as dotdotPR. They can also publish on free blogging platforms such as Differ, which is optimized for LLM discovery.
Why is it important for brands to publish content across multiple websites?
Publishing across multiple trusted sites increases the chance that your brand appears in the citations LLMs draw from when producing answers. Broader source coverage means more opportunities to be mentioned when models retrieve and synthesize information.
