What our online help includes
Great content
Our online help has content that is task-based. Each topic tells users what they have to do to carry out a specific job. Our technical authors develop the content structure in consultation with support and training, so the real user issues are addressed.
Strong design
A whole body of knowledge has been developed about how web sites are designed and displayed in browsers. Our technical writers bring these theories into our online help design. We create help systems that are attractive and colourful. Our technical authors use infographics, video and screen examples to make the content engaging.
Concise, easy-to-follow writing
Our technical writers follow the principles of Plain English. Our help systems makes the complex simple. Sentences are short and written in the active voice. Tense constructions are straightforward. Proof-reading and testing are built into our project plans to ensure our technical writers produce first-class work.
