Welcome to Essential Instructions Inc.

Essential Instructions Inc. creates custom instructional and informational materials for a variety of products. From basic desktop publishing to full blown user guides and e-learning, we are your one stop shop for creating virtually any kind of technical documentation. We are based in Burnaby BC and serve both local Metro Vancouver based companies as well as remote clients.

While most technical writers come from a communications background, we have years of experience in both technical writing and in software engineering. This experience enables us to transform complex technical concepts for virtually any product into easy to follow information for a variety of audiences. Whether your product is high tech or not, we can work closely with you and your team to ensure that the right information gets exposed.

Why choose Essential Instructions?

Most technical writer contractors are only available on a fixed term full time basis. However, this commits you into paying for a fixed number of hours, regardless of workload fluctuations. Other companies burden their support or engineering staff with the task of creating documentation which draws these workers away from what they do best. And with a tough economy looming, many companies have slashed their documentation budgets, resulting in increased support calls.

Essential Instructions solves these problems by operating as a service provider. Whether it be a single document or a large scale initiative, we can help you get the most out of your budget by working with you on either a per project or longer term contract basis. We can take your entire documentation project off your hands or work alongside your existing team to help them meet their deadlines during busy times. This provides you with the flexibility you need to accomplish your project’s goals within your budget. Our goal is to develop an ongoing relationship with you, so that you can count on us to help you whenever your technical documentation workloads grow.
