Your customers are submitting support tickets for questions your documentation should already answer. Or worse, you don't have documentation at all, and your support team is the knowledge base. I build the customer-facing help content that small and mid-sized software companies know they need but can't get done themselves: written guides and video tutorials, built from scratch or overhauled from whatever you have now. The result is customers who can figure out your product on their own, a support team that isn't buried in basic questions, and a company that looks like it has its act together. This is what I do full-time, and I've been doing it for over 20 years in the B2B and B2G software space. What I Build * Complete knowledge bases from scratch for companies with little or no customer documentation * Overhauls of outdated or insufficient help content that isn't serving customers or support teams * User guides that walk customers through real workflows, not just feature lists * Quick reference guides and getting-started content for onboarding * Video tutorials and screen recordings, professionally voiced and integrated directly into the knowledge base, for the workflows that are easier to show than to explain * Training materials and SOPs, delivered as written guides, video, or both I come from a technical writing background, which means content is organized around what customers need to do, not how your product is structured internally. When a knowledge base needs video, and modern ones do, I handle that too: scripting, screen recording, editing, and voiceover with ElevenLabs for a clean, professional narration track. Same person, same project, no extra vendors and no handoff gaps between the written guide and the video that's supposed to match it. Who I Work With Small to mid-sized B2B and B2G software companies, typically 10 to 100 employees. SaaS platforms, enterprise systems, government software. Companies that have outgrown the "just ask support" phase and need real documentation and training content that scales. Results For a recent SaaS client, I built 25+ tutorial and training videos and wrote the user guide documentation behind them, reducing training time and shifting support questions from basic "how do I" issues to more advanced topics. A previous client saw support time drop significantly after I built their documentation from scratch, content that also helped certify over 100 partners in six months. My Background * 20+ years in B2B and B2G software documentation * Former Technical Writing Manager at Workday * SaaS, enterprise, FDA-regulated, and DoD documentation experience * Salesforce, Workday, and government platform documentation * Video production: screen recording, editing, and AI-assisted voiceover (ElevenLabs) If your company needs a knowledge base or a set of training videos built or rebuilt, let's talk about what that looks like for your product.
