Stampsy Simplifies Digital Publishing

Lots of folks want to make compelling digital experiences for the web and mobile devices, but no one wants to spend a huge amount of time, money, and effort to create to create those experiences.

What if you could simplify the process of digital publishing, strip it down to an efficient set of tools and a streamlined process that just works? That’s the idea behind Stampsy, a free iPad app that lets photographers, designers, and other creatives quickly and intuitively shape their ideas into beautiful digital content.

Stampsy allows users to import photos, add text, and create layouts called Stamps. Stamps can be exported and shared to people in your network and people who subscribe to your work. 

“These days everyone’s got a story to tell and the web is full of people who want to show their content to the widest possible audience,” said Roman Mazurenko, Founder & CEO, Stampsy.  “What’s missing is a way to organize and share this rich media material in one place.  So, we built Stampsy around the idea of allowing users to become their own media channel, and everything we do is geared to letting unique creative voices flourish.”

Mazurenko continued:  “We think it’s time everyone had access to the means of media production, so Stampsy has been carefully designed to be accessible, intuitive, and highly efficient.”

Stampsy tools include:

Kiosk: Users subscribe to different users through their profile and can browse through Stamps created by others.

Tools: Users access a set of easy-to-use tools for creating integrated layouts that include photos and text.

Palettes: Fonts come in a wide variety of selected pairings and sizes.

Grab-Bag: Users can import pictures from their Photo Library or Dropbox folder that stores their content.

Unique URL: Each Stamp has a unique URL so users can circulate them on the web for their audience to read, like, and comment on.
