We design and develop effective, usable online and local user help systems and information products for desktop and web-enabled applications using major online Help formats.
We structure our help projects with the user in mind - so they can find what they need in a hurry and get back to using your software. We understand the user's state of mind when using help, and we design help files accordingly.
We document on any technical level. Our projects have included user's guides intended for novice computer users and reference manuals for programmers. We are programmers and expert users ourselves, so we know how to talk with your developers and explain difficult concepts to your users.
Our job isn't just writing - it's helping you ensure that your product is easy to use and that the user isn't frustrated during the learning process.
The Afour Technical Communication will join with your development team to produce comprehensive, accurate, easy-to-understand documentation.
