Technical Writing in Exeter
Documentation, manuals and technical content for Exeter organisations. The failure that repeats is documentation written by the people who built the thing — they cannot see the assumed knowledge any more, so the instructions skip the step where every new reader gets stuck.
Why this comes up
The problem
Documentation exists and support still answers the same questions. New users cannot follow it, and the people who wrote it cannot understand why.
What you get
What we deliver
- Written for the actual reader's starting knowledge rather than the author's
- Tested by someone unfamiliar following the instructions as written
- Task-based structure, since people arrive trying to do something specific
- Screenshots and examples kept current, because stale visuals mislead
- Searchability, as most documentation is entered through search not the contents
- A maintenance owner, because documentation decays with every release

Technical Writing in Exeter — common questions
- Why can our engineers not write the docs?
- Because they know too much. Expertise makes assumed knowledge invisible — the step that seems obvious is the one every new user fails at. Engineers are essential as the source of truth; the writing benefits from someone who does not already know the answer.
- How do we know documentation works?
- Give it to someone unfamiliar and watch them follow it without helping. It is uncomfortable and it finds every gap in twenty minutes. Reviewing documentation by reading it finds typos; testing it finds the places it does not work.
- How should it be organised?
- Around tasks people are trying to complete rather than around your system's structure. Users arrive wanting to do something specific, and documentation organised by module makes them work out which module contains their answer before they can start.
- Who maintains it?
- Someone named, or it decays. Every release makes some documentation wrong, and wrong documentation is worse than none because people follow it and fail. Updating docs has to be part of shipping rather than a task for when there is time.
- Do you work with businesses across Devon?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South West, including Exeter and the surrounding Devon area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Exeter businesses do you usually work with?
- Field service scheduling and routing for businesses covering a wide rural patch, plus professional services systems. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Professional Services, Healthcare, Retail and Environmental Science.
- Do you cover the areas around Exeter?
- Yes — we work throughout South West, including Plymouth, Truro, Bristol. Exeter is an urban area of roughly 130,000+, and we take on work across the wider Devon region rather than the city boundary alone.
