Knowledge base features

Everything you need to run a help center

LightDocs covers the full lifecycle of a customer knowledge base: write articles, structure product docs, FAQs, and guides into categories, connect your domain, and let built-in search and SEO do the rest.

Quick setup
Sign up with GitHub or Google and create your knowledge base in minutes. There is nothing to install or host — your help center gets a LightDocs subdomain the moment you create it.
Fast article publishing
Write how-to guides, FAQs, and troubleshooting articles in a simple editor built for help content. Save drafts as you work, organize articles into categories, and publish when ready.
Built-in SEO
Every published article gets clean URLs, page metadata, and a sitemap entry automatically. Your help articles are built to be indexed and ranked by Google, so customers find answers through search instead of opening tickets.
Server-side rendering
Article pages are rendered on the server, so visitors and search engine crawlers receive complete HTML on the first request. That means faster page loads for customers and more reliable indexing for SEO.
Custom domains
Host your help center on your own domain or subdomain — like help.yourproduct.com or docs.yourproduct.com — so your knowledge base feels like part of your product and search authority stays with your brand.
Public, no login required
Your help center is open to everyone. Customers browse categories and search articles without creating an account, which removes the biggest barrier to self-service support.

LightDocs is free while in public beta — no credit card required.
