JKC Goes Live with New Website! |

We first decided it was time to get the merchandise line available on the internet in 1992. The JKC product line was pretty large and included hammocks, temporary tattoos, lots of stickers and autographed photos and posters, a deal with Dickies to display a JKC patch on their pants and shorts, and much more. Joe and I dealt with several web site developers before deciding to give it a go on our own. We didn't know anything about web site design and little about the web itself but what we did have was a good understanding of our needs. Between performing road manager duties and running sound for JKC I started piddling and before long we had a basic design. With a little stealing of code from other sites and a brand new JKC Productions flat bed scanner we had a basic web site and that's all we needed to contact Joe's fans. We went live in the spring of '93. Christmas sales that first year were great so we new our hopes of reaching fans through the world wide web had come true. |
