You reduce support costs when users solve problems for themselves

Cherryleaf creates content that helps people use a product or complete a task. It can stop them getting stuck, frustrated and making mistakes.

The information our Technical Authors create can also attract prospects to your website. That’s because many people search the web for information on how to solve their problems. It also helps convert your trial users into paying clients, and it can reduce your support team’s workload.

You work hard to win your customers. Don’t let them down with poor information.

About you

The people and organisations we work with include:

Software, medical equipment, IT and other technology companies that are developing new products. They need technical, user, compliance or training documentation.

Managers responsible for policies, procedures, and other compliance documents. They need clear and simple instructions and advice that works.

HR Professionals who need to recruit a technical communicator. The job titles can be Technical Author, Technical Writer, and Documentation Manager.

Professional technical communicators. They want to improve their skills, or they need a technical communicator to work with them.

People starting their careers as a technical communicator. They want to improve their skills.

Developers wanting to improve their writing skills. If they don’t know how to write well, the final product can suffer.

The Cherryleaf DITA course ticked a lot of the boxes for me: good content, good value, and available without having to travel to the South East. The introduction to the key DITA areas was presented very well – I have read similar information in books and online, but I was able to absorb it much better through the e-learning course.
