Welcome to docs.andrewtaylor.work
This is the documentation portfolio of Andrew Taylor — a space for demonstrating skills in content architecture, information design, and technical writing.
What this site is
Content architecture (sometimes called information architecture or digital librarianship) is the practice of organizing, structuring, and labeling content so that people can find what they need and understand what they find. Good content architecture is mostly invisible — readers notice it only when it's missing.
This site exists to make that work visible.
The documentation here is intentionally sample content — chosen to demonstrate structure, hierarchy, navigation, and editorial judgment rather than to serve a real product. The subject matter is less important than the decisions behind it: what gets its own section, what gets combined, what order things appear in, and how much weight each topic receives relative to how often a reader actually needs it.
What's here
Doors is a complete residential door reference covering selection, materials, hardware, installation, fit and adjustment, weatherstripping, removal, finishing, maintenance, and a full glossary. It was co-written with Claude (Anthropic's AI assistant) as a demonstration of human-AI collaborative documentation — with content architecture, editorial judgment, and structural decisions driven by me, and prose drafting handled collaboratively.
The fit and adjustment section is deliberately the largest in the guide. That's an intentional content architecture decision: most door guides treat every topic with equal weight regardless of how often readers actually need it. Fit and adjustment is where the real-world problems are, so that's where the documentation puts its energy.
About this stack
This site is built with Docusaurus, hosted on Netlify, and lives at a subdomain of andrewtaylor.work. The source is on GitHub.
More coming
This is a living portfolio. Additional documentation sets are planned — some solo-written, some collaborative — to provide a direct comparison of both approaches.
