OUR HELP AUTHORING SERVICES

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.

What We Do 

The Afour Technical Communication team can create help files for your Windows and non-Windows applications.
 
We use a single-source methodology to create all your documentation: printed books, WebHelp, HTML help, Web sites, or other formats - as much as possible, from a single source document.
We can help you evaluate your online Help options so you can be sure to choose the right type of online Help for your users.
