Expert Support Solves Technical Communication Problems
Our contract technical writers solve problems like these:
- When you’re about to ship a new version of your product and discover you need to update more of your existing documentation than your team can get done in time.
- When your software engineers created your documentation and you know it could be improved, but there’s no one on your team to do that work.
- When your users tweet about your bad documentation.
- When your support desk is overwhelmed by too many calls from customers who need your help.
- When your customers complain they can’t figure out how to use your product or navigate your user interface.
- When you discover that regulations require certain documents, and you don’t have them.
- When your API isn’t being used because your partners don’t understand how to use it.
- When it takes too long to get new hires up to speed with network credentials, software tools, and work processes.
- When your product marketing team has more ideas than writers, and the clock is ticking on your window to grab a competitive advantage.
Our writers produce all kinds of deliverables that solve technical communication problems including:
-
- API documentation
- UX writing (also known as “in-product” content)
- Software design guides
- Help text
- User guides
- Tutorials
- Installation guides
- Quick-start training
We document policies and procedures. We produce documentation and training for orientation of newly hired software developers. We fix bad documents and websites of all kinds. If it’s technology related and it needs to be written, rewritten, or edited, we have expert tech writers who can help.
More than just talented writers, we’re practical, cost-conscious technical communication consultants who help you plan, estimate, and execute your technical writing projects in a way that maximizes the value of your budget.
