Have you built a landing page for the docs at your organization? @Anita_ihuman would love to hear from you. 👂

[MOVI🌼 @Anita_ihuman]

I started contributing to the @thegooddocs a few month back.

Currently working on developing a “documentation landing page” template.

If you have any experience with this, please comment. I have a few questions.
