La Sierra University web domain information

La Sierra University got its "web feet" wet back in the early 90s with its very first web site. At the time, as with most other University web sites, La Sierra did not have a webmaster. As a matter of fact, the whole concept of a webmaster was still being defined and developed by the still preadolescent web community.

The La Sierra web site progressed from its early beginnings to a much grander scale in January of 1998 after a plan was set in motion to "upgrade" the web site. The site was redesigned and re-engineered by a team from The Phelps Group of Santa Monica, CA. A full-time webmaster was hired in July of 1998, and the new site was up and running before the fall of 1998.

By the fall of 1999, with the growing and ever-changing needs of La Sierra and the rapid advancement of the world wide web, it was decided that the web site again needed to be redesigned and re-engineered. On average, web sites are redesigned every two years; so by the time this latest revision of the web site came to full fruition it had been close to two years since the last "version" had been released.

The third version of "the site" officially went live at about 4:00pm PST on Monday, July 17, 2000. So that puts us where we are now, at the fourth version of the Matrix, err, website. The fourth version was launched (officially), at about 10am PST, Thursday, November 6, 2003. We say officially because this version was trickled in, so to speak, over several days, while the updated home page itself was launched on 11/06/2003.

What's to come in the future? We're still working on a campus intranet, and a host of other useful features.
