About the template
About Freight
Freight is built for shippers and carriers who arrive with a booking number and a problem. Archivo headings and a navy hero with a hazard-stripe edge give it an industrial feel, a four-step track runs from quote to delivery, and topics sit in tag-shaped cards above the latest updates.
Category and search pages keep every topic in a list beside the content, so a dispatcher can jump around. Articles keep the outline and related procedures in the sidebar, offer a copy, print and PDF menu, and number each step in orange.
Best for
- Freight, shipping and courier companies
- Fleet and field operations teams
- Procedures people follow step by step

Make it yours
Start from Freight’s settings. Change any of them.
These are the settings Freight 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 Freight template free?
Freight 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 Freight’s colors and fonts?
Yes. Freight starts with Archivo and IBM Plex Sans and #1d3d63 as its primary color. 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 Freight have a dark mode?
Yes. Freight 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 Freight 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 Freight work on phones?
Yes. Freight 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.
