Best Astro Theme for Documentation

Astro is a great fit for docs sites and knowledge bases thanks to its speed and simple content model. Rob Austin's themes like Aspect and Scalar give you opinionated layouts that make dense information easier to read.

This guide is part of our Best Astro Themes series.

Aspect Astro theme for documentation and guides

Aspect — Guides, tutorials, and product docs

Aspect is ideal for multi-section guides, tutorials, and product documentation. It helps break content into clear, scannable sections with strong headings and supporting components.

Scalar — API-first and technical docs

Scalar works well for API-first products and highly technical documentation. It emphasizes clarity and structure, and pairs nicely with code samples, reference tables, and changelog-style content.
