 This directory contains a Docusaurus documentation website for both user and developer documentation.
 
+## Overview
+The site it comprised of two sub-sites - user documentation (`/`) and developer documentation (`/developers`). There is intentionally no link from the user docs to the developer docs, to avoid overwhelming users with unnecessary info.
+
+### User Docs
+
+Available at the root (`/`), default location for anyone visiting the documentation domain.
+
+Follows the [Diátaxis](https://diataxis.fr/) framework for structuring documentation. The site is divided into four types of documentation: tutorials (Getting Started), how-to guides (Guides), explanations (Knowledge Base) and reference (Reference).
+
+#### CLI Docs
+These docs are automatically generated from the Forest CLI. See [script](/docs/docs/users/reference/cli.sh).
+
+#### JSON-RPC Docs
+We use the OpenRPC document from Forest to populate the documentation for each method. For this we use `@metamask/docusaurus-openrpc`.
+
+### Developer Docs
+
+Available at `/developers`. Comprised of a collection of documents aimed at contributors. May be relevant to power users.
