Creating email signatures?
-
Are there any templates or tools you guys can recommend that can be used to create email signatures?
I know it's just ordinary html but you still want it to render similar on different email platforms.
I also think images can be embedded into the email or as regular "links". Most clients don't show linked images I believe without the user explicitly allowing it. -
For a few people to use? or for an entire organization and forced through policies?

Use text only. You don't want any images or formatting.

For a small organization where everyone would change their email signature themselves or have an admin do it for them.
If we had the html for one email signature it would be simple to create a script that would create the individual email signatures.

Client don't want that, it's too arcane. It has to be html with graphics for marketing reasons.

For a relatively small group of people, most companies we work with just have one decision maker create their own, then distribute it to everyone else.
Notes:
The decision makers usually can't figure out how, so we (IT) hold their hand through the process.
Use their e-mail program of choice.
Do it in HTML.
Use standardize fonts (This doesn't mean don't use fancy fonts, it means use fonts that are likely in most OSes.)Send it around with cut and paste instructions, asking each employee to edit the Name, Title and phone extension accordingly.
For groups under 25, we just do it, it's faster for to just do it than to teach 22 people about signatures.
