Documentation
consists of all manuals required for a layman to understand
and use the product well. Without detailed documentation,
your products value would be “zero”, even if it’s
the best product around. Documentation generally consists
of three guides:
The Set Up or Installation Guide, which explains how to set
up the software on the customer’s computer.
The Tutorial, which explains how the software can be used
on a day-to-day basis. The Tutorial would also offer guidance
and tips on how to perform certain tasks.
The Reference Guide, which is much more detailed and describes
each function fully. This manual requires the most time to
develop.
To create a box image for your product, it may be best to
hire a professional to design and develop the box for you.
However, if you are familiar with tools like Photoshop and
are creative, you may design the box yourself. This will save
you money. However, this should be
done only if you are confident of developing an attractive
cover.
Finally, you should always include licensing information with
your product. The licensing information would lay out all
the terms of the agreement between your company and your customer.
