"The task of re-developing all of our tired user guides and updates had daunted us for months. Once we found HelpConsole's 'no brainer' ease of use, our procrastination evaporated and we were migrating, enhancing and developing new content literally within the hour. I kid you not! The 'more info' automatic linkages that it creates just cut huge amounts of time from the process. Check it out - You won't be sorry."
- John Sumner
Managing Director, Aegility Performance eLearning
“HelpConsole is one of the most outstanding web help authoring systems I have ever used. We wanted to develop a web help system that worked across multiple browsers, looked sophisticated, was intuitive, and could be developed in a matter of days. HelpConsole did the job.”
- Gerry C. Nesbitt,
Assistant Director – Informatics,
University of California San Francisco
"I've tried several other Help Authoring packages and found HelpConsole to be the most advanced yet easy to use. I am still developing our Help system, Knowledgebase, and look forward to implementing the F1 context sensitive feature. Thanks for your support and fine workmanship. I highly recommend it."
- Joe Portale,
CEO, Letter-Matics, Inc.
“I tested both Robohelp and HelpConsole and HelpConsole was obviously the better choice. I was able to start using it immediately with no need for any tutorials. Excellent product!”
- John West,
Advantek Solutions
"Help Console is a very simple to use, powerful way to create documentation. It does everything that we were looking for in other programs at a significantly lower price.”

Creating a help system for your product or service has never been easier! Anyone within your company will be able to quickly create professional web based help systems and PDF manuals that run in all browsers on all platforms.
Dynamic Web-based Help Authoring
It's easy to think of help systems as being static. You create a user manual for your product and you're done. The reality is that once a product is released, the documentation constantly changes. A service pack may be released for your product, a new version of Windows comes onto the market, certain help topics become outdated, etc. HelpConsole makes it easy to design and maintain help systems right from your website.
  
Powerful and Easy to use
HelpConsole 2008 was designed with ease of use in mind.
