Do I need coding skills to build a knowledge base with WeWeb?

No. WeWeb's visual editor lets you design pages, add content components, and configure search and navigation without writing a single line of code. Most teams build a fully functional knowledge base using only drag-and-drop tools. If you need advanced features (like custom Markdown rendering or integration with a headless CMS), you can add JavaScript or Vue.js components. But for the majority of internal wikis and help centers, visual tools are all you need.

Can I connect my knowledge base to an existing database or CMS?

Yes. WeWeb is backend agnostic, which means you can connect to any data source that exposes a REST API or GraphQL endpoint. Popular setups include supabase for a PostgreSQL-backed article database with real-time sync, Airtable for a spreadsheet-style content backend that non-technical editors can manage, Xano for custom business logic and API endpoints, and Your own API if you already have content stored elsewhere. This means you can keep your content in the backend you trust and use WeWeb purely for the frontend experience.

Can I control who sees which articles?

Yes. WeWeb supports role-based access control (RBAC) through its authentication system. You can set up user roles (like Admin, Editor, Viewer) and control article visibility at the page and component level. Common configurations: Public articles visible to everyone, Internal docs restricted to logged-in team members, Sensitive content visible only to specific departments or roles, and Editor access limited to content managers. Permissions are enforced at both the frontend (UI) and backend (data query) level, so restricted content stays protected.

Can I use my own domain and branding?

Yes. Every WeWeb project supports custom domains on all paid plans. You can deploy your knowledge base to a subdomain like help.yourcompany.com or wiki.yourcompany.com with SSL included. For branding, you have full design control: custom colors, fonts, logos, and layouts. Unlike off-the-shelf wiki tools that limit you to a handful of themes, WeWeb gives you pixel-perfect control over every element. Your knowledge base will look and feel like a natural part of your product.
