Clients
Here are some examples of work that we have done for our clients. Reference contact information is available on request.
American Cancer Society
The Highland Plains Division (headquartered in Kansas City) of the American Cancer Society had a large Microsoft Access database used to track the planning and finances of fund raising events.
We helped them turn the Access forms into ASP.NET Web pages to make this database accessible on the Web.
We then converted the Access database to a Microsoft SQL Server database to improve performance and reliability.
From there we added extensive data-entry and reporting functionality so that hundreds of staff from around the Midwest can now update and view event data that was previously only available at Headquarters.

Addiction Technology Transfer Center Network
The ATTC Network's national office, a government funded not-for-profit organization located on the University of Missouri - Kansas City campus, helps to coordinate the efforts of 14 ATTC regional centers around the country. Until recently, every regional center maintained its own Web site with its own database. Kansas City Web Programmers helped the national office design and build a consolidated Web site and database for all of the regional centers to use. Using ASP (for legacy purposes) and Microsoft SQL Server, detailed forms were built to capture all of the data needed from each center for quarterly Federal reports. This greatly improved the speed and efficiency of the regular reporting process and saved each regional center the costs of maintaining their own Web site.
National Starch and Chemical
KC Web Programmers has worked with multiple departmens of National Starch and Chemical to enhance several existing Access databases used in daily operations from manufacturing to quality assurance.
Special Education Department of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM)
In partnership with San Diego State University's Interwork Institute and Autosphere, Inc. of San Francisco, Kansas City Web Programmers built a distributed data collection system for the four island states of FSM. Each island collects data in an offline desktop Microsoft Access database and periodically uploads their data to a central Web accessible database. The central data driven site currently allows only password-protected access, but will soon allow public access to reports on the special education metrics of FSM.
90.1 FM KKFI
Community radio station KKFI 90.1 FM hired Kansas City Web Programmers to improve their Internet presence. The first step was to add live streaming audio. After that, a database driven program schedule and events calendar were added with administrative tools so that staff could update the site on their own.
This site was built using open source technologies, PHP and MySQL.
Rime Buddhist Center
The Rime Buddhist Center started with a completely static HTML web site. KC Web Programmers helped integrate a ColdFusion based calendar that allowed the director to enter in an event once and have it show up on multiple areas of the site. Events automatically disappear from the event list when their date has passed. Administration utilities also exist for adding monthly articles and talks from weekly services.
The dynamic portions of this site were originally built using ColdFusion and Microsoft SQL Server databse. Since that time, the site has been redesigned to move towards the open-source language PHP.
