Homebase
Clarity at the Home page.
About the Homebase app
The Homebase App transforms your Contentful Home location into a centralized hub for important team updates, onboarding guides, and quick reference materials - all managed with simple Markdown. This app allows admins and editors surface content directly on the Home page, giving every user a consistent, welcoming entry point into their workspace.
With support for GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM), Homebase makes it easy to create rich, formatted content - including tables, checklists, footnotes, and more - without technical complexity. Whether it’s internal documentation, release notes, or helpful tips for new editors, the Homebase App keeps key information front and center, right where your team starts their day.
Ideal for teams that want to bring clarity, consistency, and culture to their Contentful space, Homebase turns the Home view into a living source of truth within the platform.
