Content that Makes Life Easier for your Customers and Improves your Business
Some people call it dumbing down, but the truth is, good technical writing is about making smarter content. Content that makes life easier for your customers and staff, and gives them information that they can understand quickly.
As an experienced technical writer, I know how to make sure your online help, manuals, wikis, and help articles are engaging, user-friendly, and helpful. The secret is to approach the content from your user’s perspective, using language and terms they understand.
But it’s not just about helping your customers. By using modern authoring tools such as MadCap Flare and Paligo, I can reduce the cost of creating and updating your documentation too.
What Technical Writing Services Do I Offer?
Your business needs high quality content that engages your customers and makes it easy for them to find information quickly. That’s where I can help you. As a technical writer and content writer, I know how to structure and write user-centred content that helps your customers and your business.
As a technical writer, I can create your user guides, online help, web pages, and wiki pages. But I can do a lot more than just technical content – I am a trained copywriter too, so can help you with marketing copy, and general information content.
Am I the Right Technical Writer for Your Project?
When you hire me, your technical writing project is in safe hands. I’ve been a technical writer since 1997 and have worked for multi-national companies and smaller organisations, so have lots of experience to share. I’ve also studied my craft (BA Hons Technical Communication) and am a fellow of the ISTC, so know best practices.
If you are more interested in hiring me to write promotional content, you’ll be glad to know I’m a certified SEO Success Works copywriter (and VIP lifetime member) and a member of the Pro Copywriters Network.
As a freelancer, I’m used to dealing with stakeholders at different levels, and like to knuckle down and get on with the job. Tell me what you need, point me at your SMEs, and I’ll get on with crafting quality content.

What Customers Say…
Craig combined professionalism with a conversational style in his writing that engaged the reader, often of subject matter that was both complicated and dry, but always managing to make it interesting and accessible.
His ability to converse with technical staff and illicit the finer points of the subject was excellent and combined with his attention to detail meant that nothing was left un-said or ambiguous in the text.
Steve O'Hara
The help system for ClearSCADA now looks and feels modern and up to date, Craig’s hard work contributed to this.
Paul New
Craig not only made the Help docs more readable and useful but actually fed back into the product itself – there is no doubt that the Adaptable Blotter is more user-friendly and intuitive as a result of Craig’s consultancy efforts. We highly recommend him.
Jonathan Wolfson
Craig assimilates technical details quickly and recasts them in a way which is informative and useful without patronising the reader. He is easy to work with and delivers to brief and on time.
