Anvil

Anvil is a free Zendesk help center theme designed for manufacturing: equipment makers, industrial suppliers, OEMs, and plant operations. Use it as a ready-made Guide theme for any industry, every color, font, and label is yours to change, with defaults tuned for manufacturing.

Anvil is built like a manual. Persistent sidebar navigation keeps every section visible and expandable, high-contrast type stays legible on a shop floor or a phone in the field, and part numbers, serial numbers, and reference codes render in bundled monospace so they can be read aloud or copied without error. It suits the content industrial support actually publishes: procedures, safety and compliance, maintenance routines, and specs.
