By His Design is Born...
A desire to work in the creative arts gives rise to a fledgling company of one... Cindy painted murals, designed graphic items, and created Power Point presentations... that's where we started. |
| 2001 |
By His Design Partners...
By 2001, the company grows to a partnership. Greg & Cindy Edwards and Dwayne & Winsome Snowden pull their creative energy, resources (and prayer) to bring BHD from a one-man idea to a business-to-business model.
Graphic design, business cards, flyers, PPT shows, video and web ads/elements are initially provided to clients to enhance their business identity.
Our ORIGINAL business cards looked like this: |

WE needed a website...
After completing a few design and print jobs for our first clients... we needed a website.
(This is like the big-hair photos in the album!)
Our first website from 2002: |
| 2003 |
THEY needed websites...
Our new clients needed sites, too. So we took classes, did a lot of reading, and by January of 2003 had added website design, domain registration and hosting to our service list. |

BHD is Re-Born...
In 2004, BHD was formalized as a Partnership LLC. This was a planned step to ensure the future of the company, protect its assets and provide provisions for future contingencies. We rebranded as an LLC and adopted the logo and look shown here. It served us well until this year... our 10th anniversary! |

LLC's 5-Year Look
on the Web
Early in 2005, we revised our site to reflect our expanding services and our LLC status - Many of you will remember this one. It read:
What will your first impression be? Make it count with BHD!
We also joined the Chamber of Commerce in 2005, a decision we have been delighted with ever since! |
| 2006 |
Expansion...
Now established in business graphics, various print media and web design, we dove deeper into vector art, video and Flash animation.
With a growing client base, server upgrades and better systems were implemented.
We continued to develop infrastructure for expected
G-R-O-W-T-H! |
| 2007 |
And then... Plus One...
In 2007, Carolyn Blevins joined the BHD Team bringing her unique set of executive and clerical skills to the office. What a life-saver she has been. With dedication that comes only from those who believe in what they're doing and love who their working with, she quickly became one of the most "techy" Grandmas we've ever seen and our "Frontline" for sales and support.
Of course, this also meant the addition of more filing space and storage cabinets. Carolyn loves Staples, and Staples loves Carolyn. |
| 2008 |
More Hands on Deck...
In 2008, we began adding new names and faces to the technical and creative teams of BHD. With additional programmers and designers rounding out the teams, we were able to widen the scope of services we provide to our clients and to improve the quality of development and marketing assistance they received.
We also increased our ads in the phone book and hosted our first booth at the Jacksonville-Onslow Business Expo! |
| 2009 |
The second half...
Like the second half of a great game, we covered a lot of yards in the second half of 09. New clients, new states, new speaking opportunities and plenty to be thankful for! We were almost to a major milestone -- and didn't even realize it.
We created more logos, more sites and completed work for more companies in 2009 than we had in any previous year. By the end of 2009, we had increased sales by 22.4%. |
