About Nocturne
Nocturne is a premium Docusaurus documentation system by Axcora Technology. It ships with an elegant design, Decap CMS, and Pagefind search — all wired. No design skills needed.
Built for teams who ship documentation, not demos.
Why We Built Nocturne
Documentation is often the first thing users see. And the last thing teams polish.
Most Docusaurus sites look the same. Default theme. Default layout. Default typography. Nothing wrong with that — but nothing memorable either.
We built Nocturne because documentation deserves better.
- Elegant design — dark mode by default, high contrast, editorial layout
- Decap CMS included — edit content without touching code
- Pagefind search — instant search across all docs
- One payment, own forever — no subscription, no renewal
What Makes Nocturne Different
Premium Design System
Nocturne ships with a complete documentation design system — not a theme tweak.
- Dark mode by default — elegant, high contrast
- Editorial layout — asymmetric grid, generous whitespace
- Typography — serif headings, sans body
- Micro-interactions — subtle, purposeful
- Responsive — from mobile to ultrawide
Decap CMS Included
Edit every page from a browser — no code editor required.
- Static pages — add, edit, remove
- Documentation — nested folders, sidebar config
- Blog posts — articles with tags, authors, dates
- Site config — navbar, widgets, home content
Your clients can do the same. No training needed.
Pagefind Search
Pagefind indexes your entire documentation at build time. Search is instant — no external service.
- Zero config — works out of the box
- Fast — sub-100ms search
- Offline — no API calls, no tracking
- Accessible — keyboard navigation built in
Built on Docusaurus 3
Nocturne is built on Docusaurus 3 — the most popular documentation framework.
- MDX support — write docs in Markdown + JSX
- Versioning — maintain multiple doc versions
- i18n — translate docs to any language
- Plugin ecosystem — extend with any Docusaurus plugin
