@hmmatos Firstly, welcome to the Ghost community!

You can see via this link to [https://builtwith.com/](https://builtwith.com/?https://ghost.org/docs/) that the Ghost documentation pages are built with [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) and hosted on [Netlify.](https://www.netlify.com/). In other words, that isn’t a Ghost theme they are using on that section of the website.

There aren’t many documentation-style themes available for Ghost and I’m guessing, but I think this might be because documentation sites would generally benefit from being static webpages.

There is the option of using Ghost as a headless CMS in conjunction with Hugo (and Hugo has some good documentation themes). You can see my recent post on this topic and a very helpful response from @DavidDarnes [here](https://forum.ghost.org/t/a-few-questions-about-using-hugo-and-ghost/26202).

If you are just looking to make a documentation site, you might like to take a look at static site generators. To get you started, some things to Google would be Jamstack, Hugo, Jekyll and MkDocs.

I hope this helps!
