On-Demand Customer-Facing Documentation

You built and tested your product. You think it’s ready to go out the door. You know how to use it, but will your customers?

Some world-changing software was built in mom and dad’s basement or in the garage. But it doesn’t have to look that way.

Professionally created documentation makes your company look bigger and more credible. You outsource other services you don’t need full time, such as legal, graphics, and SEO. Did you know you can also outsource your documentation?

TESTIMONIALS

I had the pleasure of working with Jennifer over multiple years when she provided contract technical writing services to Lionbridge. Jennifer produced high quality work. She was self sufficient in working with our developers to gather information and understand new functionality. She took care of all of the technical aspects of managing and publishing the documentation. She was thorough, professional, and dependable in all aspects of her work. She was also a pleasure to interact with. I would not hesitate at the opportunity to work with Jennifer again.
