About Web Designs Bath
Web Designs of Bath was born in February of 1999. It
was started by Dale Christ who had just retired from the Independence
Police Department. He got his start in computers while attending
Cleveland State University where as a business major, he was required to
take Cobol B programming. Yes, that was in the days of punch cards
being fed into LARGE computers.
He graduated in 1972 with a B.B.A. in Management.
However, at this time, he was also serving on the police department.
In 1982, the police department computerized for the first time.
Because of state requirements, the department needed a supervisor for the
terminal. Dale was selected because he was the only person on the
department that had experience with computers. From that experience,
he learned Tip Query Language.
As the 80's decade closed, the department added another
computer system for internal records and e-mail. As system
administrator, he was required to teach police officers, who had never
touched a keyboard in their lifetime, to learn how to send and retrieve
e-mail plus obtain records over the computer. It was during this
period that Dale learned the Mapper and UNIX programming languages.
In the 1990's, the department upgraded to Novell servers
and Dale began using FrontPage by Microsoft to build an internal web site
for access to department policies, rules and regulations, etc. After
retiring and starting this company, he began consulting on web sites and
assisting in building sites.
Dale is assisted at Web Designs of Bath by Ellie
Nape. She helps with layout, design and quality control. She
is also the owner of Accents by Ellie and the Patriot Lady Store. Also, both
Dale and Ellie are licensed to sell health and life insurance in the
State of Ohio.
