Imagistic announces the completion of a successful redesign for Montana Artists Agency and the additional back-end administrative functionality to support the new sections and features of the site. Montana Artists Agency required a revamping of its existing site to more effectively display the talent they represent and the press they receive. Having solid experience in PHP and MySQL, Imagistic was able to cost-effectively reverse engineer the agency's existing custom CMS and extend their admin interface to manage the new functionality. Working closely with Rachel Garrison, Julian Savodivker, and Anna Kvorning, Imagistic generated an updated information architecture and graphic design to bring the site's interface and UX in line with the creative talent they manage. “The immediate need was to quickly improve the look & feel of the site while keeping costs down. We were able to leverage their existing code base in the LAMP stack and deliver a solid set of features and admin functionality. Montana Artist Agency is in a growth phase, and to support their increasing news stream and bookings, we needed to build quickly, efficiently, the cost-effectively.” said Imagistic's Kevin Howard Goldberg. The site met its target launch date of July 26, 2012. About the Montana Artists Agency The Montana Artists Agency was started in 1989 to represent dp's, production designers and costume designers.
