SignDex is Dibodev’s internal production tool. It stores a brand profile per client (contact details, colors, logo, photos) and generates communication assets from templates: email signatures, flyers, social media banners, business cards, and loyalty cards.
Initially used for freelance signature orders, it later expanded to multi-office enterprises.
A good email signature seems simple. In practice:
SignDex starts with a single brand profile. HTML templates pull client data and selected options (inverted colors, displayed visuals, portrait/logo, masked address) with live previews. A headless browser generates image versions, and the tool converts signatures to Apple Mail format.
Delivery is one-click: a ZIP archive with HTML, images, Apple Mail file, in-context previews in a mock email, and installation guides per provider.
For multi-site companies, SignDex manages organizations (offices and employees) and generates team-wide signatures at once. A white-label client portal also lets clients manage their own collaborators.
SignDex delivers signature packs to freelancers and enterprises alike, including a global law firm’s multi-office team signatures.
One tool, one brand profile, and all assets stay aligned—streamlining delivery and simplifying updates.
