Technical Editing

We have the tools and skills to make all of the documents for your business communications sound professional. When editing or writing content for a project, we always use our graphic design and desktop publishing skills to make sure that your content "looks" as professional as it sounds.

We can satisfy your technical editing needs from a variety of original formats, including HTML, PDF, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Publisher, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, or Microsoft Access. We can help you compile, edit, organize, and/or proofread the content for any of the following documents and more.

· Knowledge bases. Knowledge bases are large databases of information composed of small articles. They are often used for technical support or other reference purposes.
· Catalogs (both printed or web-based). Catalogs contain a complete listing of items arranged systematically with descriptive details. Typical uses of a catalog are to list products or services such as items for sale or classes.
· Newsletters. A newsletter is a small publication containing news of interest chiefly to a special group. Newsletters are a great way to keep in touch with your contacts.
· Brochures. Brochures contains descriptive or advertising material and are typically distributed to promote your product or service. Brochures are often called pamphlets.
· Training materials or courses. The purpose of training materials or courses is to teach a particular subject. We can help you with your online, CD-ROM based, or in-person training needs including PowerPoint presentations and course books.
· Product demonstrations. Product demonstrations show the nature and usage of a particular item. Using a PowerPoint presentation is a common method.
· Business plans. Business plans describe the nature of your business in a very organized and methodical manner. They often require summaries in addition to detailed material.
· White papers and journal articles. A white paper is a detailed, authoritative report. The government and technical companies often use white papers or journal articles, instead of brochures, to promote a product, as they contain more technical information such as the results of studies or details on the development of the product.
· Resumes. A resumes, also called a curriculum vitae, is a short account of one's career and qualifications. Since you usually prepare a resume when you are hoping for a new job, you want your resume to present you as a professional.
