Folio

Folio gives your Help Center the feel of a well-edited publication. Newspaper-style masthead, oversized serif headline, a numbered topic index instead of cards, drop-cap articles and generous reading typography. Ideal for brands that value voice and craft.

What makes it different

Centred masthead with a ruled navigation bar. Split hero with a huge serif headline and an underline search. A numbered, ruled topic index (01, 02, 03) instead of cards. A "Start here" list for promoted articles. Drop-cap, serif-quote article reading view.

Included

Fully responsive, verified without horizontal overflow at 390px on home, category, section, article and search pages. Accessible by design: WCAG AA text contrast on default colours, visible focus rings, skip link and reduced-motion support. All Help Center templates are included: home, category, section, article, search, requests, new request, community, profile, service catalog and approvals. Colours, logo and favicon are editable in the Theming Center. Fonts are self-hosted (no Google Fonts request). Translated for English, Portuguese and Spanish; other locales fall back to English. No extra JavaScript: the design is pure CSS on top of the standard Help Center scripts.

Installation

In Guide admin, open Customize design and import the theme zip. Set your logo and colours in the Theming Center, then publish.
