Structure docs that scale

Information architecture basics

Lesson 1 of 58 min

Good documentation architecture starts with how readers look for answers. Group pages by jobs-to-be-done: getting started, building, deploying, and troubleshooting.

In Docfiy, express this structure in docs.json using tabs for major areas (Guides, API Reference) and groups within each tab for related topics.

  • Keep top-level navigation to 4–7 items
  • Put onboarding paths first
  • Use consistent naming across tabs and sidebar groups
