MGB Designs Website Development & Graphic Design - Burlington, VT

MGB Designs offers a high quality web design service for any business or non-profit organization. Our services are affordable and custom designed for your needs.

Meagan Brown never dreamed she’d run a Web design business out of her dorm room. But her Champlain journey has been a quick study in entrepreneurship. How did she swing it? She did it by taking full advantage of Champlain’s Upside-Down Curriculum. You don’t wait until your junior year to take classes in your major -- you jump right in freshman year. This let Meagan explore her Web Site Development major. She quickly learned front- and back-end coding and absorbed her Business and Marketing classes. Before she knew it, her professors were funneling freelance gigs her way. Thus began MGB Designs.

We are most grateful to Meagan for the creative and hard work she devoted to building our website. Meagan collaborated with Sarah Pettitt. They contributed a significant about of time to helping us and went well beyond what we could afford. Their work and their generous contribution to us is testimony to the special interest they have taken in Green's mission and its partnership with Champlain College..

VBSR - Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility

Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility (VBSR) was founded in 1990 by a group of businesspeople who believed businesses have as much responsibility to workers, communities and the environment as they do to being financially successful. VBSR was started to pioneer a new focus for business: "the multiple bottom line." Profitability is essential to business. However, VBSR members are equally concerned about the "other bottom lines" - quality of the workplace, the natural environment and community. VBSR members share basic values and goals. Our diverse and dynamic membership is what makes VBSR an energetic and growing forum for business in Vermont. To lean more, click on the link.
