Madrone Technical Services has been providing programming and technical writing services for clients since 1989. With almost 20 years experience in the software industry, we produce programs and documents designed to grow with your business.
Our Technical Writing experience includes over 12 years designing, writing, editing, and delivering high quality user documents. We work with equal ease in Adobe FrameMaker and Microsoft Word.
Our extensive technical background enables us to write about highly technical products, while practical user experience allows us to clarify complex concepts for any audience. We write to programmers about C++ class libraries and generate on-line help for naive users learning a GUI. We are also experienced in graphic art and welcome opportunities to design and develop artwork to enhance your documents and presentations.
If you have a product that has never before been documented, our publishing experience enables us to organize and deliver production-quality documentation that suits the needs of your business.
Web pages are growing in importance as a way for you to communicate with your customers...and your future customers!
Madrone Technical Services can help you build effective web pages, web pages that address the needs and concerns of your customers. We've designed hundreds of Web pages and browsed thousands of others. One thing strikes us repeatedly when examining Web pages:
Most people just do not know how to use their web space effectively.
Web pages are powerful tools. Hyperlinks and multimedia support provide web page designers with possibilities not available in any other media. Excessive use of graphics.can increase a page's load time without improving content or appeal. Many web pages are covered with context-free hyperlinks, links that give little clue as to their destination. People looking for real information about a product or service feel frustrated when they can't get to that information quickly and easily. Search engines often exacerbate the difficulty of finding the exact information the customer needs.
It takes more than a Web jockey to create a useful Web page. The information your customers are looking for needs to be presented in an accessible manner. Graphics and layout enhance the presentation of that information, not distract from it. In an organized web page, hyperlinks increase the accessibility of the information. We bring our considerable experience in technical publications to your web page. We design web pages that make sense.
With over 12 years of systems programming experience, Madrone Technical Services can design, develop, debug, and deliver programs written in C and C++. Our experience ranges from designing and developing software for a large relational database product in UNIX to writing C++ code for object oriented programs in PC/Windows.
