Franchise Services Continues Relationship With imagistic to Launch Sir Speedy and TeamLogic IT

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CALIFORNIA – May, 2009 – Franchise Services continues their relationship with Imagistic to launch subsidiary Web sites.

Back in July, 2005, Imagistic began a long-term client relationship with Franchise Services, a leader in the management of award-winning brands supporting the small-to-medium business market. After designing several sites for the company, Imagistic was contacted by Franchise Services in 2008 to assist with one of their subsidiary’s Web sites located at www.sirspeedy.com. This time, the project involved the implementation of PaperThin’s flagship content management system, CommonSpot.

Impressed with the quick-ramp up on CommonSpot and solid end-product, Franchise Services commissioned Imagistic once again to work on two Web sites for another subsidiary company, TeamLogic IT. In addition to providing project management support and implementing development tasks for the front-end sites and its administrative back-end, Imagistic offered the service contributions of HTML integration, information architecture, SEO best practices, content entry, and Q&A/testing.

Project highlights involved the creation of a 100-page functional specification document within a week, as well as the production of an 80+ page National site and 26-page backend administration panel. In addition (and on the same timeline), Imagistic delivered an equally sized sub site tailored to the company’s 45+ Franchise owners, allowing them to quickly and easily manage their individual branch pages. After less than 30 days of development, the sites launched in May, 2009.

In the next six months, Franchise Services will be calling on Imagistic yet again to deploy another CommonSpot installation for their largest network of business printing centers in Europe, MultiCopy.

SuperSig.com Taps Venice-Based imagistic to Re-Launch 'Signature' Web site

VENICE, May 2000, -- Venice, CA. based SuperSig™ (http://www.supersig.com), has selected Venice-based Internet developer Imagistic Media Studios, Inc., to design and re-launch its Web site and develop its business services.

SuperSig.com is a specialized web site that allows users to easily add enhanced and personalized email signatures to every mail they send. A sig, or signature, refers to a short bit of text that is typically included at the bottom of every email and contains the sender's name and contact information. The site allows people to express themselves creatively with their signatures and not be restricted to only text.

SuperSig™ provides users a richer, more graphical and functional signature that acts more like a small, personal web page. Besides letting users add graphics, pictures, logos and stylized text, SuperSig™ also gives the ability to add dynamic content to their email signature such as active stock quotes, opinion polls, daily changing messages, and information about whether or not the email sender is online. The newly designed site, which is currently live, strengthens the SuperSig™ brand and provides many more signature "construction" options. The site will allow businesses to create custom and centralized email signatures for every employee.

"We are thrilled to be working with Imagistic," says SuperSig™ CEO, Mark Jeffrey. "Their talented design team has provided our users with a ton of new creative options and has brought the SuperSig™ experience to a new level."

"From the start, we loved this concept," says Imagistic CEO, Michael Weiss. "To be able to play a significant role in its creative development and work for such an excellent client is a double treat for us."

SuperSig™ is a privately held company based in Venice, California. Individual web users can obtain a free SuperSig by visiting www.supersig.com.
