Site Help and Tutorials Section

[fizzlesquirt]

I'm looking to add a product tutorials/help section to our company website and need recommendations on what to use. The site is NovAtel GPS Receivers and GPS Accessories, SLA Inc

The website is for a company that sells and supports high accuracy GPS/GNSS equipment. The thought is to add a help section to reduce some of the phone support we go through for more of the simple configuration/setup questions.

I'm currently using Wordpress for the news section of the website, so I am familiar with it. I'm not sure if it could translate well to a help and tutorials section though. The plan is to have a page/section showing common tasks for the equipment (ex. How to check the firmware version of your GPS receiver). Glossary for common terms and acronyms. There will not be any comments allowed.

Would Wordpress be a good fit for this application or a CMS application? There will be videos in this section followed with a text tutorial as well (for those without high speed connections).

By the way - it needs to be fairly easy to update the style (like Wordpress). A site visual update is due to happen in the coming year. Any and all help/insight is appreciated.

I think wordpress is so versatile that's it's good for almost anything and everything. If those pages were actual "pages" (in WP terms), comments are already disabled. If they're posts, you'll have to make sure to disable them. But those posts will show "comments have been disabled for this post" to the public. If you're using WP for that purpose only and comments aren't allowed anywhere else, most themes have their own "comments" file in the theme editor where you can just remove any text that refers to comments.

If that's what you're aiming to do, sounds like the right fit.
