Why do many companies struggle with effective documentation?

Developers are the lifeblood of your project, and documentation is the key to attracting and retaining them.

Documentation is the first impression developers get of your project and it's the ultimate resource when they need support. It's a vital partner that helps them navigate throughout the entire development process.

However, merely offering an OpenAPI spec, a single GitHub sample project, minimal support, and a few basic tutorials is no longer enough.

In fact, According to Stack Overflow's Developer Survey, written developer documentation remains the primary resource developers use to learn about new projects and assist with implementation.

Yet, it's all too common to see this:

Documentation is often treated as a one-and-done chore. Projects write it, publish it, breathe a sigh of relief, and move on to the next thing. However, documentation is a living, breathing system that requires consistent updates, improvements, and constant nurturing.

To build a scalable, best-in-class documentation system like those found at Stripe, GitHub, and other industry leaders, you need a solid system, top-notch writing skills, and unwavering commitment to consistency.

But time is a scarce resource, and you're swamped with development, marketing, and growing your company. Now, documentation too?

Achieving great developer documentation is within your reach. You just need the right combination of technical writing expertise and a dependable developer documentation system in place.

The right system can transform your documentation from a source of complaints into a cause for celebration.

Step 1

Architect your audience

In this step, we focus on understanding your target developer audience by conducting thorough research. By identifying their demographics, pain points, and preferences, we can create documentation that is specifically tailored to their needs, ensuring maximum engagement and comprehension.

2
Step 2

Build your blueprint

Here, we combine planning and organizing the documentation. We prioritize topics, create a content map, and establish a structure that ensures a smooth flow of information. This blueprint serves as a foundation for the entire documentation process, guiding the content creation and organization.

Step 3

Write your words

Combining drafting and editing, this step involves crafting the content for the documentation. We write clear, concise, and comprehensive content, followed by meticulous editing to ensure accuracy, readability, and consistency. This process guarantees that the documentation effectively communicates the required information.

4
Step 4

Create your code

In this phase, we integrate code samples, example apps, playgrounds, and more to support the written content. We ensure that these samples are relevant, accurate, and easy to understand, providing developers with real-world code that enhances their documentation experience.

Step 5

Visualize your vocabulary

Here, we focus on adding visual content such as diagrams, flowcharts, and screenshots to the documentation. These visuals help clarify complex concepts and processes, making it easier for developers to comprehend and retain the information.

Step 6

Continuous cultivation

This step encompasses publishing, gathering and integrating feedback, measuring documentation quality, and maintaining the content. By implementing a system for continuous improvement, we ensure that the documentation remains up-to-date, relevant, and effective in addressing the evolving needs of your users.

Derick in a fairly independent way assessed the limitations of our current dev exp and went one by one improving docs, error messages and writing explainer blogs, addressing many friction points for devs, and ultimately impacting the number of developers that could use our product self service.

Derick was the engine behind our recent documentation sprint. He quickly understood our existing documentation; designed a new architecture for knowledge sharing across our product, engineering, and data teams. He did all of this on a tight timeline and to a very high level of quality. We’re grateful for Derick's hard work and commitment to structuring and writing great documentation for data, product, and engineering teams.

You're only one call from your first documentation task

If you're still not sure our subscription is for you, you're one call away from learning more and creating top-notch technical documentation.

I can state that working with Derick on the documentation was an outstanding experience. Derick's expertise, inquisitiveness, and eye for detail in creating clear and concise documentation for our users really impressed me. I would recommend him for any technical writing projects, and I am looking forward to working with him again soon."

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have more specific questions?
Let's talk.

Why wouldn't I just hire a full-time documentation specialist?

Great question! Hiring a full-time senior documentation specialist can cost over $150,000 annually, plus benefits. Good luck finding a good one who's available, has the writing skills, and necessary front-end skills to create your documentation. Additionally, you might not have enough work to keep them occupied full-time, resulting in paying for idle time.

Our flexible monthly plan allows you to pause and resume your subscription as needed, ensuring you only pay for documentation services when you have work available.

Absolutely! With your subscription, you can add as many tasks to your backlog as desired, and we'll deliver them one by one.

Ultimate.md offers an unlimited documentation subscription with one active task at a time.

You can think of Abundant's unlimited documentation service like Netflix. With a Netflix subscription, you can watch as many shows as you want, but you still have to watch them one at a time.

The focus will be on one task at a time, the active task, delivering high-quality documentation before moving on to the next. This approach enables in-depth, focused work for superior results.

Our services cover a broad range of documentation tasks, including API reference guides, how-to articles, code samples, and tutorials. For a comprehensive list, please refer to our scope of work section.

We focus on delivering top-quality documentation in a timely manner. Turnaround time depends on task complexity and scope, but we'll provide an estimated delivery time for each request. Keep in mind that more extensive projects like full-featured tutorials may take longer than simpler tasks like code snippets or API references.

We use GitHub project boards to organize and prioritize your documentation tasks. To add a new task, simply create it and add it to the backlog. Since only one active task is allowed at a time, you'll need to move any new priority tasks to the active task column and shift the current task back into the backlog.

As the founder of Ultimate.md, I will be your primary point of contact and will work directly with you throughout the documentation process.

We collaborate closely with you through GitHub. Each task will be represented as a pull request or an active task on a GitHub project board, allowing you to review progress, see all commits, and provide feedback directly on GitHub. The pull request will not be merged until you are completely satisfied with the work.

We offer unlimited revisions to ensure the final documentation meets your expectations. If you're not satisfied, we will work closely with you to make the necessary revisions and improvements until you're happy with the result.

Our subscription-based service offers more flexibility than hiring freelancers or full-time documentation specialists. You can subscribe month-to-month and pause or cancel at any time if our service no longer meets your needs. There are no long-term contracts.

We track various metrics such as user engagement, time spent on documentation pages, and feedback from your development team. This data helps us continuously refine and improve the documentation to better serve your developers' needs.

Billing is securely handled through Stripe. We charge a fixed monthly fee covering unlimited documentation tasks, revisions, and collaboration. Our transparent pricing eliminates lengthy negotiations and hidden costs, making budgeting for documentation more predictable.

Ultimate.md does not offer refunds for full monthly plans, as we provide a high-quality documentation service. However, you can cancel your subscription at any time. If you're unsure whether our subscription is the right fit for your company, we recommend starting with the one-week trial and scheduling a call to discuss any specific questions or concerns. The trial does offer a strong Perfect Match guarantee.
