They are OUR TEAM!!!!

 

 

Short Story Marketing has been amazing in managing and updating my business website. They listen to what I want and what I need! They worked with both my daughter/new partner and me on the look we wanted to achieve and the message we wanted to convey on our most recent website update. Kim, Bill and Taylor are the best! Grateful for them as they respond quickly and our website update is awesome!!! They are OUR TEAM!!!!

I would highly recommend working with them, you will not be disappointed.

 

 

My experience has been beyond phenomenal. [Short Story] provided us with the security, comfort, and direction that was essential to have a seamless experience during this transition. I found all communications to be extensively thought through and documented. This helped to avoid the all-too-common mis-communications that come with long distance business relations. I would highly recommend working with them, you will not be disappointed.

I thought I should share my recent experience... This is the 14th web site I have RELUCTANTLY been involved in. It was truly a positive, professional and hassle free experience ...

Let us tell you about a hidden gem in Tillamook County - Jandy Oyster. These folks have been dishing out some of the most delicious seafood you can imagine.

In the bustling world of organizations that really make a mark, 2Fast has been a standout, powering through with some of the best motorcycle track days and instruction you can find in the Pacific Northwest. But, there was a bit of a snag - their online look didn’t quite match the awesome work they were doing in real life. That's when they teamed up with us, ready to give their digital presence a much-needed boost to match their real-world zest. The Starting Line with 2Fast.org 2Fast has always been all about that thrill of the ride and sharing the know-how on motorcycle safety. They’ve got this deep-rooted passion that's seriously contagious. But when it came to their website, it felt a bit like taking a ride on an old, dusty road – not the smooth ride they're known for providing. It was time for a change, to bring that online experience up to speed with the excitement of hitting the track. Facing the Digital Bend Getting their website to truly reflect what 2Fast.org is all about was our main mission. The site needed more than just a fresh coat of paint; it needed to become a hub that's as dynamic and welcoming as the community they've built around motorcycle racing and education. Shifting Gears with Our Approach Here’s the thing - we believe that a great website is like a great ride: it should be smooth, intuitive, and, most of all, memorable. That's exactly the vibe we aimed to bring to 2Fast.org’s online space. It wasn't just about making things look pretty; it was about creating a journey that visitors would enjoy, from start to finish. The Transformation Journey We dove deep, rethinking the whole 2Fast.org website experience. We wanted every visitor to feel the adrenaline, the community, and the passion behind track day experience and improving their skills on motorcycle riding. From streamlining navigation to punching up the content with more energy, we redesigned their site to be a virtual gateway to the thrill of the track. Crossing the Finish Line The results? A total game-changer. The new site really revved up engagement and brought the community closer. It’s like 2Fast.org got a brand-new set of wheels online, making it easier and more exciting for everyone to connect with their passion for motorcycles. Riding into the Sunset This adventure with 2Fast.org was a reminder of how powerful a stellar digital presence can be, especially when it mirrors the passion of the folks behind the organization. We’re stoked to have been part of this journey, and we’re geared up for the next challenge. If you’re thinking it’s time to kick your digital presence into a higher gear, you know who to call. Let’s make the online world a place where your passion shines bright.
