Technical Writing

At WritePoint, we know that the right point to assess your documentation project is early in the development process.

This enables us to assess how much work there is, when we should begin, and how best to proceed in order to balance the need to meet your deadlines with the danger of having to re-document. We understand that your project is likely to change.

That's why we offer our comments and our suggestions - so that you can see what a new user may think, how they may get confused, where they may need additional explanations or examples.

We have the expertise to document on any technical level. Our projects have included user guides intended for novice computer users, up to API and CLI reference manuals for expert programmers. We are programmers, scientists, and expert users ourselves, so we know how to talk with your developers and explain difficult concepts to your users.

One of the best compliments we ever received came from a programmer who was explaining a complex application that interfaced between several computers in different locations using different programming applications and languages. After we'd finished the manual, he told us that we should just "write this code" because it was just too complex a concept. We asked him to explain it to us anyway and then wrote the document. When we gave it to the programmer, he complimented us: "You really made it simple to understand." That's what technical writing is all about...taking complex concepts and making them easy to understand.

Our job isn't just writing - it's helping you ensure that your product is easy to use effectively so that the user isn't frustrated during the learning process. At WritePoint...we join your development team to produce comprehensive, accurate, easy-to-understand documentation. At WritePoint...we write to the point.
