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.
Government Writing - Content For Web
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 requiring people who only do contracts once per year to get the right codes in the right fields, it provides drop down boxes and other ways of offering only correct choices. Error rates plummeted. When it comes to getting details and technicalities just right, ArcticLlama has it down pat.
Since we wrote and turned over the contract
wizard it has been adopted by several other departments across the state.

Technical and Computer 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.
