About this service

Summary

When chapters are drafted by various teams it takes a document designer to pull them together into one wholistic publication. Let me take care of the headers, footers, table of contents, links, and publication to digital format.

Document design is the process of choosing how to present all of the basic document elements so your document's message is clear and effective. I analyze your goals, implementation strategies, target markets, features, timeline, and user experience to design documents that communicate to your specific audience.

What's included

Document Design
Document design is choosing how to present all of the document elements so your document's message is clear and effective. I will analyze your document's goals, implementation strategies, target markets, features, timeline, and user experience to layout your print or online document for your specified audience. I can take your content from multiple document files and organize it into a master document. I'll unify the formatting and layout, add sections, and do other combining. Then, I can build a table of contents, bibliography, index, and other material as required. Let me help you manage long documents with many chapters or sections, allowing smaller documents to be combined into a larger whole.
Technical Writing
I can write a technical policy document, procedure, or report based on interviews with subject matter experts and existing content. The ultimate "total package" is to write for you from scratch.
