Grain Design (UK) Ltd., an award-winning design agency in the UK, collaborated with Rich Hinchcliffe at TMRW™ to build their company portfolio site. It leverages Gaia's dynamic externalized assets engine in a very intelligent way by using the external assets xml as a content source, as well.

Rich had this to say about using Gaia to build their site:

"All the design work for the new Grain website was done by them so I can't take any credit for that. The person they originally asked to do the Flash build had to drop out so that left them coming to me with a relatively short time-scale and budget asking for their new design to be built up. Only a week or two before I'd come across Gaia and thought it'd be a good project to learn some basic AS3 on and get my head around the framework.

I'm no coder and balk at the thought of doing PHP or JavaScript etc, but AS3 was (for the most part) easy enough to get my head around. What made the whole process pretty painless though was the decision to utilize the Gaia Framework. It wasn't immediately obvious to me how it all worked, especially the class programming structure (at least not obvious to my designer brain), but with help from the forums and particularly Steven himself I had it sussed in no time and any questions/problems I had were very quickly sorted. I'm sure Gaia is easily capable of way more than I've made it do on designbygrain.com, and I'm looking forward to using it again."
