Technical Textbook Typesetting & Layout

I have a fully edited manuscript—about 340 pages—ready in a single Word document. The book is a technical guide to Web Design and Development, so the layout must handle long code blocks, detailed tables, instructional figures with captions, prominent call-out boxes, strong chapter openers, consistent running headers, and accurate page numbering.

At this stage I don’t have a house template; I’m counting on you to propose a clean, modern style that balances readability for code and tables with an attractive, professional aesthetic for the teaching material. Feel free to propose fonts, grids, and colour accents that suit print and, if practical, future e-book conversion.

Key tasks
• Flow the Word manuscript into your preferred professional layout software (InDesign or equivalent).
• Design and apply paragraph, character, and object styles that keep code blocks aligned and tables clear.
• Create chapter-opening pages, running headers/footers, TOC, and list of figures so they auto-update.
• Place all figures, ensuring captions, call-out boxes, and page numbering remain in sync throughout.
• Deliver a press-ready PDF (CMYK, embedded fonts, appropriate bleed) plus packaged source files.

I’ll review a brief style sample first; once approved, we move through to full layout, revision rounds, and final output. Accuracy, typographic finesse, and clear communication will be valued throughout the project.
