Manuals
As an offshoot of journalism, we have over 30 years experience in the field of tech writing. Here are some examples of various Technical Manuals that we have created for various companies with a specific need for accurate conveyance of technical details. These solutions can be delivered online, via PDF and DVD and in print.

Custom Chrome (CCI) is one of the largest aftermarket supplier for custom parts for Harley-Davidson motorcycles. They developed a line if kit bikes that the end consumer would assemble themselves and this required an assembly manual that provided all necessary information required by the Federal Government of the United States.
