Aurora

About Aurora

Aurora is a light, gradient-rich Zendesk Help Center theme designed for SaaS, creative tools, and modern tech products that take design seriously. Purple-to-pink-to-blue gradient meshes, frosted glass cards, and generous whitespace create a luminous visual system that feels polished without feeling heavy. DM Sans carries both headings and body text with geometric precision, keeping the reading experience clean while layered gradients add depth and delight.

About Zlooks

Zlooks is a curated catalog of 49 (and growing) Zendesk Help Center themes, each designed for a specific industry or aesthetic. Healthcare gets calm, accessible blues. Cybersecurity gets a threat-dashboard dark mode. Museums get archival serifs on parchment. Gaming gets neon gradients and angular shapes. Every theme starts from a creative brief with industry research, palette design, and font pairing before any code is written. Zlooks was founded and designed by a single product designer who believes your help center should look as intentional as your marketing site.

Built for modern SaaS brands that care about design

Aurora is not a gradient dropped on top of a default template. The visual system was designed for products where design quality is a selling point. Frosted glass card treatments, a soft purple-pink-blue palette with real depth, and a layout built for scannable content give your help center the same considered feel as your marketing site. Whether you ship a creative tool, a marketing platform, or an AI product, Aurora makes your support experience feel like part of the product.

No-code branding for your team

Aurora ships with 32 admin-configurable settings that cover every meaningful design choice. Brand color, accent color, hero image, logo, favicon, fonts, and up to six fully configurable category boxes on the homepage. Your support team or admin can rebrand the theme directly from the Zendesk Guide editor without ever touching CSS or filing a developer ticket. We made the tough design decisions so your team can focus on content.

All 24 templates included

Aurora is production-ready out of the box. All 24 Zendesk Guide templates are designed and styled with the same visual system, including the homepage, category, section, article, search, request, requests list, new request, community topics and posts, user profile, contributions, subscriptions, error page, and the service catalog and approval request shells required for marketplace compliance. No missing pages, no fallback to default Copenhagen styling on edge cases.

Mobile-first and accessible

Aurora is fully responsive across breakpoints (768px, 1024px, 1160px). Hamburger navigation, stacked category boxes, touch-friendly voting controls, and accessible form components ship in the box. The theme is built to current web standards, with semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, and ARIA attributes throughout.

RTL language support included

Full right-to-left CSS layer for Arabic, Hebrew, and Farsi locales is included at no extra cost. The locale selector and direction handling follow Zendesk's reference patterns so your international customers get a native experience from the same theme.
