Project Details

The Kankakee County Health Department website was originally designed, architected, and developed by Jake Kronika between 2003-4. Due to improvements in technology, and weaknesses discovered through an evaluation of the first generation site, the KCHD enlisted the assistance of Gridline Design for a number of improvements.

In the current version, the website for the Kankakee County Health Department employs web standards-compliant HTML, extensive CSS, and JavaScript with the jQuery framework to deliver a much richer experience for users. In addition to the visible aspects of revisions made between 2009 and 2010, a number of enhancements were built in under the hood, including the use of Apache server-side includes (SSI) to reduce reduncancy, and a range of search engine optimization (SEO) modifications.
