LOOPS: A modern publishing workflow for your product literature
We are 9to5 Media Services. We structure, translate, and publish product literature for consumer brands, making it accessible in all relevant languages and formats.
LOOPS is our publishing workflow for all kinds of product literature: product manuals, quick start guides, spec sheets, brochures, FAQs, and knowledge bases.
Specs and Docs is our hosting platform for product literature.
If your brand has legacy documentation (e.g., traditional manuals created using InDesign or Microsoft Word), we’ll convert it to a web-ready format (Markdown), add image links, metadata, etc. Markdown is then converted to valid, semantic HTML, which can also be used to create print-friendly PDFs, either server-side or by end users.
If you want to reach audiences all over the world with well-designed product literature that is easy to write, publish, read, and translate, we can help.
