I left the family plastics business to start an internet company for the plastics industry with a friend in 1995 and then decided to start my own digital marketing company in 1998. In these 26 years I've had the privilege of working with over 140 organizations within 29 industries and what I've learned is that building and inspiring an audience requires ongoing and consistent relationship building through content. The easiest and most cost effective way to do this is with strict structure and a clearly defined plan.
A marketing platform designed specifically for you with marketing interns from your community to help you maintain it. Do you need to ramp up your marketing in record time with an easy to follow plan and a budget designed for small businesses? Do you want to support local high school and college students who have been trained on this platform and are waiting to help with your marketing at cost effective pricing? If you can't use a component right now (like e-commerce), it's turned off and you activate when you're ready.

First of all, Gary is exceptional at what he does! He pushes you to get outside of your comfort zone, draw upon on your skills and your knowledge, and create engaging content. Then he helps shape that content and "bring it to life" in very creative ways, using visuals, music, and clean graphics. What's the result? Well, after we launched our new website and podcasts, I received very positive feedback from many people that I had not been in contact with for over 20 years.

And these are people from my career that I really respected for their views and outlook. So, to hear from so many of them in this way was very special. Finally, Gary trained me on his publishing tools so that I can author content directly to the site, which helps me save money. He then engages his Interns to help with technical clean up to produce a very polished final product.

A very efficient Consultant/Customer process! As a result of working with Gary over the past few months, I discovered that I not only have a smart marketing partner, but I also have a great new friend!

Gary is simply the best. He goes above and beyond to bring clients creative solutions and goes the extra mile to troubleshoot when things aren't working perfectly. That is rare for a web developer. It's been such a joy working with and learning from him over the past five years. He always inspires me and teaches me something new. I've been incredibly grateful for our partnership.

I have had the opportunity to work with Gary through our entrepreneurship program at Batavia HS and he has taught our students AMAZING concepts in digital marketing! Our relationship expanded through a program/vision Gary had to bring real world experience to students through digital marketing internships and he has mentored over 30 BHS students the past 2 years providing guidance, mentorship and assistance as these students create assets for themselves and others. Gary is truly one of the best partners we have ever had at Batavia HS and he kindness, generosity, time and connections he has made with students has been a special addition for all our students! THANK YOU GARY & ORBIS!

Gary set up the Community Renewal Society website a few years ago and has been helpful to our new staff by providing training to manage the site. He has helped us bring on an intern and is providing support for this position.

Gary was a great find a few years ago! So likeable, creative and easy to work with, he helped us take our existing website from "Star Trek" to "Star Wars" in warp speed! We are super happy with our end product. He has also been instrumental in helping us produce short video highlights that "Tell a Story" of our Olsson Culture at a very reasonable cost.

Would gladly refer him to any business looking to upgrade their website in appearance but more importantly assist them with creative ideas on how to brand their company and product! Rick Hernandez l Olsson Roofing Company, Inc.

I worked with Gary on a website for arts relief during the COVID-19 crisis. There was an incredible amount of pressure, a very short timeline, and high stakes. Gary was incredibly generous and a calming presence for the entire team! The website looks and works great. AND, anecdote, when we launched and had a small issue with the website that was brought up on our Twitter page.

He not only fixed it quickly, but also went on Twitter to respond directly to the user who'd raised the issue. Above and beyond. So appreciate Gary/Orbis Design and hope that I can work with him again on a less frantic project! THANKS GARY!

Dealing with this company was the worst experience of my life. Save yourself crucial time and money just look elsewhere for your web design needs. I gave this company my requirements for my website and a deadline that I needed met. They said they would have no issue meeting the deadline. One month after the deadline I was still having to call everyday for updates and kept getting lame excuses.

Finally a week later I was given what could best be described as a half baked website. There were broken links everywhere. Graphics that I had asked be placed were no where to be found. Also I had requested some Flash on the website which they said they knew how to do but guess what? They don't. I would have saved my self alot of time by paying for my web design software and giving it to a monkey. Their customer service is the worst. Calls and emails about my concerns have gone unanswered. Avoid this company! Unless you enjoy headaches!
