The art of indexing is the art of creating paths to your content. Usability and findability is as important as accuracy, and Wright Information studies the interface and the outputs you want (print, web, ebook, pdf) as much as the subject matter of your content to pinpoint the presentation of your index or finding aid.

Indexing involves everything from plain back-of-the-book print files to inserting codes in InDesign files to metadata controlled-language development and thesaurus construction. Indexes appear onscreen and need to activate when clicked. Index entries need to migrate with your content into any format you decide, and still work. Perhaps you want to translate your book and want the English index translated as well, even when the pagination changes. Perhaps you want the ebook edition to have a hyperlinked index. Perhaps you want to publish your book again next year, and don't want to re-index the whole piece. There's ways to do all of these tasks. Wright Information handles everything from traditional books to these more technical and coded indexing methods.
