Design by GB is Greg's web development company.  It's young and still working on getting fully up to speed with the state of technology. 

It all started in 10-06 when Greg purchased a copy of Macromedia Studio.  The original thought was simply to make a website for the new church plant, True North.  Since then I have made several more, each one becoming a little more sophisticated than the last.  I am continually challenging myself to greater heights just to see if I can meet my own challenges.

My style lately has been XHTML transitional code with full CSS styling.  No HTML style tags here (how mid-90's).  Future ideas for expansion: Java & Flash... just need to come up with the hours to learn the systems.

My projects:

  • True North
    • True North is the name of the church plant that Tracy and I are involved with.  Dan Vandock came to me with a powerpoint layout and said he wanted a layout to look "something like this".  It definitely was beyond what I could do (since I couldn't do anything at that point)  It ended up being pretty cool and even got me into podcasting.
  • Share it with Joy!
    • What a better place to experiment with new web design skills than my wife's company.  It was my first foray into 100% CSS styling.  I really liked the results.
  • Crossover Custom Guitars
    • What a fun project - custom guitars!  Will came to me with an idea to show off his line of custom guitars.  I came back with a different idea for presenting his work.  I was very pleased with the final product on this one!
    • Update, Fall 07: Added a blog to this site.  How much easier could updating your own website be?  Now I have an excuse to buy books on PHP & MYSQL (as if I needed one...)
  • Author Will Hinton
    • Here is my latest challenge : Will wrote a book - let's sell it on the web!  It's kind of the quick way to get into web selling through Paypal.  I've even got a sweet little Java app to read some page excerpts.  I'm pretty proud since it's my first completely hand-written code that actually works for something more than passing an excercise in the book.

What does the future hold?  Hopefully a lot more exciting websites coming soon.  Would you like me to look at doing a website for you?  Drop me a line and you could be the next website I do.
