Cherryleaf – Clear documentation and procedures for people and AI

Cherryleaf provides technical writing, content engineering, and training services that help organisations create clear, accurate, maintainable content for users, teams, and AI-enabled systems

Our Technical Authors and consultants write, improve, and manage technical documentation, API and developer docs, online help, policies and procedures, knowledge bases, training content, and AI-aware documentation workflows.

Your customers, developers, staff, and support teams rely on documentation to get work done. When it is unclear, out of date, hard to find, or poorly structured, people make mistakes, support teams get overloaded, and product adoption suffers.

Clear instructions build confidence, reduce support costs, and make products, processes, and systems easier to understand, use, and support.

Cherryleaf helps you give people the information they need, while freeing your team to focus on the work they do best.

Red Gate Software

We recently changed our authoring tooling. Cherryleaf came and did a spot of consultation to help us choose something that fit our use cases. I’d absolutely recommend their service if you want some help picking tooling.

Citrix

Thank you very much for an interesting and thought-provoking course. The content and themes are very relevant to Citrix Technical Publications as we regularly look at trends and how we can respond and innovate.

The way in which customers consume our content is changing, as are the different expectations customers have regarding user assistance and support. Your course provided further insight and ideas regarding how to review and adapt to ensure content is relevant and appealing to our customers.

As a freelance technical communicator I have often used Cherryleaf to help find interesting work, and the technical writing courses the company provides are second to none.

MyScience

As an IT team, we had an array of support documentation for systems and services that we’d always struggled to have a consistent format, style and structure for. The course delivered by Ellis Pratt really clarified the best practices to use and answered many of the questions we had.

We were so satisfied with the service provided by Ellis that we contacted Cherryleaf to create an exemplary piece of documentation for one of our systems, with an aim to using the documentation as a template for our other services going forwards. Ginny Critcher was always punctual, polite and efficient in all her work. Where there were any doubts or suggestions, Ginny would provide insight into what the best approach would be in an eloquent and thoughtful manner.
