Knowledge Base Essentials

The knowledge base is documentation on your website to help the clients get answers to their issues. To build a knowledge base, you need to:

• analyze support/community requests;
• organize content;
• set requirements;
• update existing articles to keep them helpful.

The knowledge base should be easily accessible on the WordPress website, so you can add it to the navigation (menu), footer, and share it with clients via welcome emails.

This section helps customers quickly solve the problem and increases the level of satisfaction of working with the company. Therefore, for many businesses, it is essential.

Next, we will analyze the tools to help you create a functional and attractive knowledge base.

I’ve covered the essential features you may need to add a knowledge base to your Elementor website. However, there are lots of ideas for customization. Here are some additional features you could try.

Navigation

Create understandable knowledge base navigation to show article categories and add badges (new, basic, advanced, etc.).

Add an image comparison slider to add more interactivity to your documentation. For example, you can show how something can look before using your product/services and after using it.
