Why Choose Us for large document layout and design?
Speed
Through the adept utilization of cutting-edge tools, we bring a heightened pace to our processes, ensuring the swift and cost-effective production of a polished end product that meets and exceeds your expectations.
Accuracy
In the realm of comprehensive documents, mere volume is not enough if it lacks organization and completeness. Our commitment to precision and a high attention to detail guarantees that your document is not only well-organized but also devoid of any missing components, ensuring correctness right from the initial stages.
Efficiency
We firmly believe in the mantra that efficiency is the cornerstone of successful execution. Our utilization of advanced tools is not just about speed; it's a strategic approach to let our computers handle routine tasks, allowing us to focus on the creative and aesthetic aspects. This ensures that your project not only gets done efficiently but also looks exceptionally polished and professional.
Direct Contact
We take out the middle man. We don't have an account manager that doesn't know the details about your project. When you call or email us, you talk directly with the designer working on your project. That way, we can better understand you and save you from frustration.
Priced Right
Large documents can end up costing a lot because they take a lot of time to build out. With our tools we can dramatically speed up our productivity and get projects done quicker—ultimately saving you money.
We get you
When you entrust us with your projects, consider it a journey where you can comfortably recline and relax, confident in the knowledge that every aspect will be expertly handled. Our understanding of your needs extends beyond the technicalities; it encompasses a commitment to delivering results that align seamlessly with your vision and goals.
Our Commitment
Our commitment is to ensure your satisfaction by providing meticulous attention to detail and preserving the integrity of the original appearance throughout the entire process. Your document's transformation is not just a task for us; it's a commitment to delivering results that exceed your expectations and leave you thoroughly pleased with the outcome.
Some of the tools and techniques we use to make this process better
In our commitment to delivering unparalleled service, we leverage a sophisticated array of tools and features meticulously designed to elevate the overall experience for our clients. These tools serve as the backbone of our operations, contributing significantly to enhancing accuracy, expediting processes, and elevating the overall quality of our work. It's crucial to recognize that without the strategic application of these tools, the end result could fall short of the high standards we uphold, either in terms of product quality or completion time.
All about styles
The mastery of styles empowers us with a level of control that is fundamental to our document creation process. Styles serve as a cornerstone in our approach, providing us not only with the ability to expedite the construction of large documents but also granting us meticulous control over every aspect, both within and outside specific paragraphs, individual words/characters or tables. This nuanced control extends to various formatting elements, allowing us to maintain a consistent and professional appearance throughout the document while significantly enhancing our efficiency.
Paragraph Styles
By employing paragraph styles, we have the capability to create distinct formatting for headlines, body copy, bullet points, and more. This streamlined approach significantly accelerates the overall process, enhancing efficiency in document creation.
Character Styles
Character styles in our toolkit provide precise control over text variables, enabling adjustments tailored to your needs. From drop caps to italics and superscript, these styles offer diverse formatting options, enhancing visual appeal and functional precision in your content.
GREP Styles
GREP (Globally search for a Regular Expression & Print) is a powerful tool that offers numerous advantages when it comes to large document production and design. One of the key benefits is its ability to perform complex search and replace operations based on patterns, allowing for efficient and flexible data manipulation within documents. This proves especially advantageous in large-scale projects where consistency and accuracy are paramount.
Auto page titling
and numbering
We like to take the human error out of as many aspects of our large documents by introducing automated areas to these files. This doesn’t mean AI is doing the work and we sit back and relax. Simply, it allows us to automatically style and number pages, build out tables, flow text throughout the document, assign page headers and footers, table of contents and much more.
Other languages
Need multiple languages for a project, we can take care of that. We are not translators, but if you can supply the translated content, we can mould it into the english version of the document—maintaining the same integrity of design throughout.
Languages we have completed: French, Spanish, and Chinese. We are more than open to complete design in virtually any language.
The intricacies of these tools demand a comprehensive understanding and adept utilization, and that's where our expertise comes into play. We navigate the complexities of these powerful resources with finesse, ensuring that they not only meet but exceed your expectations.
Frequently Asked Questions
About Large Documents
-
What type of large documents do we do?
Our proficiency extends to the adept handling of a diverse range of extensive documents, with a special emphasis on but not limited to various categories such as books, manuals, booklets, policy manuals, and procedure manuals. Whether you're dealing with the intricacies of a substantial literary work, the intricacies of comprehensive manuals, or the intricacies of policy documentation, our team is well-equipped to manage the unique challenges posed by each. This includes not only the sheer volume of content but also the nuanced formatting requirements that distinguish these document types. Feel confident entrusting us with your large-scale projects, as we bring a wealth of experience and expertise to ensure a seamless and effective handling of your specific document needs.
-
How long does it take?
This really depends on the size and complexity of the document, but we do work very quickly, so you can expect quick turnaround times on all our projects and edits. For example: We recently completed a 200 page document that took 2 days and a 750 page document that took 7 business days.
-
What makes us different?
We get you! Many other design firms have account managers that don’t understand all the fine details. When you call us, you are talking directly with the designer. We have found that customers like using us because they can talk directly to us and they don’t have to spec out everything, saving you time and energy and letting you relax and enjoy the final product.
-
What if I need to make edits later?
Easy, since we utilize styles throughout, styles can be adjusted and they override everything under that style. For text or image changes, because a lot of what we do is automated (page numbering, titles, table of contents) once the text is updated, it will automatically adjust everything where needed.
-
What we need from you
To better help us, we ask that you supply the content as close to final form as possible in regards to changes and edits. We will handle the design and continuity throughout but having a completed and organized foundation before starting is key.
-
Is there a limit to how many pages we can do?
There is no limit to what we can do, but depending on the size and complexity of the project we may not take it on. Feel free to talk to us about your project and we can help take care of you.
