We know what an educational consulting practice needs. Because we have helped many ECs with their marketing, we won't need to spend your money learning just what an EC is and does!
Our purpose is to help you grow your practice, without costing you a fortune. We offer personalized or fully customized website design, websites you can update yourself whenever you wish, and a wide variety of marketing services.
If you need a website or other marketing services for your new practice, or you're frustrated with your existing website or marketing, we can help.
Yes, you are getting checked out online by potential clients, even if they were given a personal referral.
It's not the 1980's anymore!
You never get a second chance to make a first impression! Make your first impression your best impression.
Professional websites, easy to update, on premium cloud hosting, and still affordable!

"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."
