About the template
About Apple Minimal
Apple Minimal strips the help center back to what matters. A text-only wordmark, a dark hero with a single search box, up to six category cards and two featured articles make up the whole home page.
Articles are one clean column, with a rating at the end and nothing else competing for attention. The spacious setting and a soft blue accent keep it feeling premium in light mode and in dark.
Best for
- Premium consumer brands
- Short, focused help centers
- Teams that want the answer to be the only thing on the page

Make it yours
Start from Apple Minimal’s settings. Change any of them.
These are the settings Apple Minimal ships with. Each one is a control in the visual editor, and changing it restyles every page at once. Add your logo, use your own fonts, and add custom CSS when you want full control.

Is the Apple Minimal template free?
Apple Minimal is included in every HelpCenter.io plan at no extra cost, like every template, and you can try it free for 14 days with no credit card needed.
Can I change Apple Minimal’s colours and fonts?
Yes. Apple Minimal starts with Inter and #1d1d1f as its primary colour. Both are settings in the visual editor, along with your logo, the rest of the palette, the corner radius and the spacing, and changing one restyles every page.
Does Apple Minimal have a dark mode?
Yes. Apple Minimal has its own dark palette, and visitors get it automatically when their device is set to dark mode. You can edit the dark palette separately from the light one, and add a logo made for dark backgrounds.
Can I switch from Apple Minimal to another template later?
Yes, whenever you like, from the theme gallery in the editor. You compare the new template with your current design and choose which parts of it to apply. Your articles and categories are never touched, and nothing changes for visitors until you publish.
Does Apple Minimal work on phones?
Yes. Apple Minimal is built to reflow on screens as narrow as 320px, and the editor previews desktop, tablet and mobile sizes before you publish. The phone screenshot on this page shows its home page 390 pixels wide.
