Visionary Technical Writer Needed to Create a Functional Specification

Cancelled Posted Mar 21, 2015 Paid on delivery
Cancelled

The world is changing, the information age is in full swing and everybody needs to step their game up in order to stay relevant, innovative and productive.

I'm seeking a Visionary Technical Writer to create a functional specification for an online classifieds and community website concept, to be built on the Wordpress CMS. It's aimed at fostering trade, collaboration and innovation between the business, legal and creative industries within the UK and the rest of the world.

This concept aims to deliver an overall ground-breaking user experience to many different types of users, whilst being a hallmark for excellence in web design.

So, why do I need a functional specification?

I once heard from an old secondary school teacher that if you fail to prepare, then prepare to fail. So, i'll need a complete functional specification to provide the web developer with a blueprint of how the website will behave and function; focusing not too much on the technical details or implementation, but more so on the usability and user experience.

I'd expect the functional specification to be complete, covering key areas such as core objectives, target audiences, navigation structure/sitemap, key features, technical/security considerations, search engine optimisation, social media and content. It should also include research notes, user-stories, storyboards, a narrative and detailed information on how users will interact with the website from a real person's perspective and real-world scenarios.

I've done much of the ground work myself so if you're successful I'll work closely with you throughout the job in order to provide you with the necessary resources and answers to questions that you may have.

For a job well done I'll be willing to pay additional discretionary compensation to you and earmark you for future work.

Essential Key skills needed for this role:

- Excellent analytical, research and writing ability

- Excellent command of the English language to convey ideas and insights in a compelling yet concise way

- Proven experience of writing easy to read, complete and unambiguous functional specifications and/or technical specifications

- A thorough understanding of web design issues (UI/UX), considerations and limitations

- Excellent time-keeping and organisational skills

- Highly productive ability, with a proven track record for working speedily and diligently, whilst maintaining high quality work

- Able to think outside the box

Desirable skills:

- Expertise in developing visual and graphical elements such as wireframes, storyboards, diagrams and sitemaps

- A strong understanding of the Wordpress CMS

- Expertise in writing compelling content for blog entries relating to the creative industries (for a longer term working relationship)

- An ability to visualise what web applications will be like 5-10 years from now

This job will challenge and excite you because it's fresh and innovative. Ultimately, I'm looking for someone who is bright, creative, trustworthy and motivated. If this sounds like your cup of tea and you have the skills as detailed above AND you can answer the screening questions, then I'll be looking forward to reading your application.
