- HelpKit provides professional customization through visual settings and themes without coding. Docusaurus requires writing custom React components and CSS for meaningful customization. HelpKit delivers beautiful, branded documentation without developer involvement.
About HelpKit
I want you to deal with less support and
make your knowledge base work for you
Hey 👋
I’m Dominik, the founder of
HelpKit.
There are already a couple of knowledge base softwares out there to help you improve your customer support. And while most of them are certainly doing a good job, are they actually making use of the best content management system in the world?
I have been using Notion for a few years now. It's an
amazing tool for storing and organizing all of my company's knowledge
and documentation. After a while, I realized that I need something
that I can expose to my customers. I didn't want to leave Notion.
Furthermore, it should feel similiar to tools such as Intercom or
Zendesk.
Since I couldn't find the right solution –
I built HelpKit. Sure, you can publish your Notion
page on its own but it might come across as unprofessional. The messy
Notion url, distracting links pointing to Notion and the lack of
customizability are just a few disadvantages...
HelpKit is solving all of this. It is for businesses who need an easy way to create a reliable knowledge base powered by Notion.
