Beautifully simple storytelling

Shorthand allows my team members to unleash their creativity while using a beautiful platform for our stories.

Shorthand allowed us to expand our digital content offer to our audiences, giving them different ways to engage with our programme.

Shorthand has allowed Telegraph journalists to turn around multimedia stories & projects without any reliance on developers, & has been integrated across the newsroom for coverage ranging from interactive graphics, photo stories & long-reads.

Collaborative, friendly & helpful — the team at Shorthand are as versatile as their platform, which is a great tool for telling stories in a rich & engaging form.

We've been able to build quality immersive content, with a quick turnaround, without relying heavily on developer support. Audiences respond well to it, & it's great to have a tool that allows great journalism to look as good as it reads.

It’s completely opened up a whole new area of putting content online for us. We hadn't done anything like this previously so it really has changed the breadth and width of everything we have available now.

Shorthand removes all the technical complexities involved and allows non-coders to build a creative that has such that deep immersive feel, and in a fraction of the time.

We’ve already noticed time on page to be significantly higher on our Shorthand stories, up to nearly 7 minutes per session. In terms of actual engagement, it’s given us a big boost.

Using Shorthand has brought development time down from several weeks to a day or less. This means we can do many more projects than before. And time on page is always better than normal CMS stories. We’re getting some great results.

Shorthand has saved us time and money compared to traditional alternatives. We can produce special featured stories without having to engage designers and developers.

We loved that Shorthand made creating a visually engaging and beautiful page possible within our time and resource constraints.
