A Short History of the Florida College Website
Come take a short walk with us through internet time
and see how the Florida College website has
changed and grown through the years...
1996
Back in the 90's the internet was just beginning and dial-up
was king. Websites were mostly short brochures with
simple text and a few pictures.
Our early website featured a clean, easy-to-read
homepage topped with a slideshow of our
campus. Quite impressive for 1996!
1997
In 1997 our website went through a minor face-lift
and inherited its first site-wide menu:
a convenient, always-available navigation bar
on the left-hand side of the page.
1998
1998 built on the success of the previous year's website.
The site-wide menu and familiar two-column layout
remained, but a fresh coat of richer color, crisper fonts,
and higher-quality pictures graced the home page.
In addition to the cosmetic changes, the 1998 website
included a "tour" of the campus and, for the
first time ever, the FC Bookstore published its entire
catalog online.
2003
2003 was a milestone year for our website.
Suddenly no longer a simple informational brochure, our website
was a sophisticated internet application complete with news updates,
calendars, and faculty and staff directories. As time passed the
website grew to include an alumni directory, full-motion
video of teachers and students, and the ability to make online payments and gifts.
2007
In May of 2007 we streamlined our layout and organization
to create the site you see today.
