Shorthand has led to a 358% increase in page views... increased the time users spent actually reading by 271%, and decreased our bounce rate by 405%. A great result!

Camille Layt, Corporate Publications Advisor, University of Queensland

We do find that the dwell time is usually significantly higher with Shorthand pieces, and the bounce rate is lower, which is down to that beautiful first page. It just grabs you, doesn't it?
