How Do You Know You Need a Technical Writer?
You have successfully gotten your start-up running. The coders and engineers are in place, finances secured, the office space is adequate, and the marketing team is ready to get to work.
Now you need a Tech Writer – the person who will explain how to use your product. This allows customers to “self-help” when configuring your product, and at the same time gives a preview to prospective customers how good your product is. If the user documentation is good, the product should be “easy” to use.
The type of tech writing you want determines what you want for the future of your company. Are you building a life-long enterprise that will be a legacy to future generations? Or do you want the basics so you can quickly sell off your company to the highest bidder? Legacy Enterprises require their technical writing to be pristine and high-end. Think of Apple or Microsoft. Quick sale startups can afford to be more casual in their presentation and not worry about Fonts and Icons.
No matter which way you go, online documentation is the best way to present your guides and manuals. Gone are the days of PDF tomes and heavy hard-bound textbooks. Online documentation offers the quickest way to update your information without leaving users with outdated versions.
