More about Shorthand

What kinds of teams use Shorthand?

The case studies on this page include publishers, brands, universities, nonprofits, and agencies — all using Shorthand to tell stories that need space, depth, and attention.

What is Shorthand used for?

Teams use Shorthand to publish immersive, longform digital stories — from editorial features and digital magazines to brand storytelling, campaigns, and reports.

You can explore our gallery of inspiring stories to see how different publishers and brands use Shorthand in practice.

Do I need developer support to use Shorthand?

No. Shorthand is designed so content teams can create and publish independently, without relying on ongoing developer support.

Does Shorthand replace our CMS?

Shorthand works alongside your CMS rather than replacing it. Teams typically use it for immersive, longform content that’s difficult to create elegantly in a traditional CMS.

How can I decide whether Shorthand is right for my team?

You can create a free account to explore Shorthand and try it with your own content. If you’d like to talk it through, you can also speak to the Shorthand team about your goals and workflows.
