Product technical manuals are a very important part
of getting and keeping your product in use.
Few people do this job properly.
The end result is a lot of unhappy customers who
won't recommend your product and who can be the
source of a lot of wasted company time answering
queries, which could have been avoided by having
a decent manual or data sheet in the first place.
The best way of doing these is with a maximum
graphical content.
SHOW and don't try to TELL.
People don't read text these days !
A picture is definitely 1000 words.
We have even done the things with no language,
just drawings and photos.
We can do the photography and photo manipulation
and graphics.
If you are an inventor or product developer we can
help you with your project.

I never cease to be amazed at how few companies
get this right. The size of the company has no
bearing. I could reel off a multitude of international
companies who mess this up.
So if you are a small concern, here is an area
where you can ‘beat the big guys’.
The tendency to try and use one manual for
several different versions of the same product is a
classic stuff example.
Here they will weave in comments for different
versions and drive the reader (who is traditionally
impatient) mad.
