History[edit]
The company was founded by Kevin Howard Goldberg, Michael Weiss, and Marcelo Ziperovich in 1997, as the Internet boom was beginning its rise.
After operating out of one of the founder's second bedroom for six months, the company obtained office space on Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice, California. For eight years, imagistic rose and fell with the Internet boom and bust.
During its boom, Los Angeles Business Journal[2] named imagistic #4 of the top 100 fastest-growing private companies. After the company had reached thirty employees in 2001, the industry fell to pieces. In 2005, after two rounds layoffs and Ziperovich's departure, Goldberg and Weiss relocated the company.[3]
Now located in Westlake Village, California, imagistic maintains partnerships with Web content management companies CrownPeak, Ektron, Microsoft, and PaperThin.
As Owner/Technology Strategist at imagistic, Kevin Howard Goldberg has been spearheading the company's proprietary Business Technology Plan using the technorational process since 1997. In the fall of 2008, Kevin Howard Goldberg's book, XML: Visual QuickStart Guide (2nd Edition), was published by Peachpit Press. The first edition of the book was written by Elizabeth Castro. In January 2010, Kevin authored an article for IBM developerWorks about CodeIgniter (an open source PHP MVC Framework) titled "Developing dynamic Web sites with CodeIgniter".[4] In May 2010, Kevin wrote another article for IBM developerWorks, titled "CodeIgniter and Ajax using JQuery".[5] In the fall of 2010, Kevin will serve as instructor for an introductory course on programming concepts through eClasses.org.
As a frequent judge for the Stevie Awards and speaker at annual seminars held at the Nonprofit Technology Network Conference, Michael Weiss is frequently quoted on the topic of Web development. In 2006, he was quoted in BusinessWeek[6] on the benefits of hiring a Web developer. He has also been quoted in the L.A. Times, Chicago Times, CXO News, and WebProNews. He regularly contributes to his company's blog.
