Whether to use the sponsored version of MkDocs Material

Context and Problem Statement

MkDocs Material provides very useful features for site generation, but some features are only available if you sponsor the project creator.

Decision Drivers

• I would like to minimize the effort required to create the site.
• I would also like to minimize the cost involved.

Considered Options

• Use the insider features through a $15 monthly 'The Individual' sponsorship
• Use only the basic features, excluding the insider features

Decision Outcome

Chosen option: "Use only the basic features, excluding the insider features", because

• The basic features provided seemed sufficient.
• I decided that if the insider features become absolutely necessary, it would be fine to switch the decision later.
