The ORIGINAL kcck.org, from December 1996
Welcome to the new KCCK website!
You may not know it, but KCCK has had an online presence longer than just about any other area organization. Our first website was set up by then-sixteen-year-old Michael Dorman, son of News and Operations Director George Dorman. This was in 1996, years before most people had even heard of the World Wide Web. In fact, kcck.org preceded kirkwood.edu by several years!
Mike Dorman has assisted his dad on and off with the website ever since. The previous design was created by coder-and-musician John Shultz in 2007, so it was definitely time for a refresh.
We’re now taking advantage of modern content management systems (CMS to the web-savvy) to make the site easier to navigate and update. We’re using the popular WordPress system, if you’re interested in the nitty-gritty. The site will also display better on your mobile device.
The snappy new look to the site, which beautifully captures the old-school-meets-the-modern-age ethos of KCCK, was created by graphic designer Michelle Wiese. Mike Long of the Kirkwood web team did the heavy lifting on updating the code.
We think all the important stuff has come over from the old site, but if you don’t see something you use, please let us know!
