ArcticLlama Samples
Of course, many of our clients require confidentially regarding any product produced for them. It is a responsibility we take seriously. On this page you'll find sample work produced by the ArcticLlama team. Some samples contain minor edits just to change names and other identifying information. Others have been completely re-written to avoid any way of connecting it to its original. Some have been created from scratch using similar objectives and criteria as real world projects. All however, are original content produced to meet the specifications listed. We encourage you to judge our work (and others) based on how well it meets the objectives. We tailor each and every project to the specific needs of the client. So, some work is very formal, and some is very informal. If a sample sounds too light or too serious for what you have in mind, remember that your completed project will take on the tone you requested.

Technical Writing
Brian writes technical but friendly blog posts for Train Signal Training. The articles are for computer professionals, but remain accessable to the novice willing to put in some time on the terminology. In addition, they are fun and funny! At least, Brian thinks so.

Contract Wizard
We wrote this contract wizard (Word document with macros) for a single
department within the state government. It's major claim to fame was
that instead of trusting people who only need to do contracts a handful
of times each year to get the right three-digit code in the right
field, it provides drop down boxes and other ways of limiting the
choices. Error rates plummeted. It isn't the kind of writing we always
do, but it shows that when it comes to nailing technicalities,
ArcticLlama has it down. Since we wrote and turned over the contract
wizard it has been adopted by several departments across the state.
