Product guides

Product guides provide information, instructions, and guidance on a specific product. Product guides typically encompass details about the product’s features, functionalities, setup, usage, and any other relevant information. As a comprehensive resource for users, it’s important that these guides contain the necessary information users need to maximize their experience of a product.

Turtl Tip: Use interactive 3D tours to showcase your product and “wow” your audience!

Educational guides

An educational guide is a resource or instructional material designed to assist learners in understanding and mastering a particular subject or topic. It provides information, explanations, examples, and instructions to facilitate learning and help individuals acquire knowledge or skills.

Turtl Tip: Include polls in your educational guides to uncover your reader’s level of understanding on a particular topic.

User guides

A user guide is a type of instructional document or manual that provides information and instructions on how to use a particular product, software, system, or service. It is designed to assist users in understanding the features, functionalities, and operation of the product or service.

Turtl Tip: Add videos to your user guides to help readers understand complex information or instructions.

Training guides

A training guide is a resource or instructional material designed to facilitate the learning and development of individuals in a specific subject or skill. It provides guidance, instructions, and information to help learners acquire knowledge, improve their abilities, or develop new skills.

Hear from our customers

A large goal of the work we produce, like guides, is to turn prospects into customers. We have actually had a lot of success with content libraries of infographics and webinar recordings within Turtl Docs. So we certainly lean on Turtl for our content to have a longer shelf life.

Turtl wins hands down. And it’s not just PDF. It’s PPT too. These are old tech and Turtl is a much better way of doing things. It’s more engaging both to read and create. It saves costs and the analytics are invaluable.

Why use Turtl instead of PDF for my digital guides?

The PDF is over 20 years old. PDFs offer no reader interaction, are not optimized for different devices, and encourage endless scrolling –  resulting in less engagement.

Content in the PDF format goes against the core principles of how we absorb and remember information. 

Turtl is designed on the science of reading. Readers get a richer experience while publishers, editors and writers know for sure what’s working.
