Getting Started with Lumino
Welcome to Lumino, a clean and flexible documentation template for Webflow. This article will guide you through the basics of setting up your documentation site, customizing layouts, and using advanced features like code snippets and callouts.
Introduction
Lumino is designed to make technical documentation both readable and beautiful. Whether you’re writing product docs, API references, or internal knowledge bases, Lumino gives you the right structure out of the box.
Key Features
- Pre-built documentation layouts

Basic Structure
Every Lumino project is organized into three main parts:
Navigation - a sidebar for quick access to docs.
Content Area - where your articles live.
Search - built-in search for finding content quickly.

When writing technical documentation, you often need to include code. Lumino comes with styled code blocks for better readability.
