The Long Journey Into Light

Web Design by Mike Keucher

Web Design as a Hobby

Designing websites is high on my hobby list.  For years, I created websites for various companies in Bloomington and surrounding areas.

The hobby came into existence in 1998, when I created my very first website for a seventh grade project on Lewis & Clark.  I had so much fun with it I decided to create my first personal website that same year.  For years, I owned and operated keuch.net, and at times I still regret having let that thing expire.

In high school I created a website as the online editor of the newspaper, The North Star.  I had a lot of fun with that website.  When I joined the staff my freshman year in 2001 the paper no longer existed, so our class did nothing all period long.  I suggested an online version to get back into the game.

I also created a website for St. Charles Catholic Church around that same time, which I still operate and am about to redesign.  I also took on the website for St. Charles Summer Institute, opening online registration for the program.  Now about 80% of people register online.

Once in college I began creating websites for companies, the other two Catholic parishes in town (St. John the Apostle and St. Paul), and for Habitat for Humanity.  Additionally I became the Chapters Web Liaison at the Indiana University Alumni Association and served in that position for a year and a half.

That said, now that I am in Seminary, I am not taking on new commercial clients at this point in time.

Need a Parish Website?

If your parish doesn't have a website, you need one!  People are looking for God, and they are doing so online.  Your parish's website is one place where people can find Him!

If your parish needs a website, please ask your pastor to e-mail me at mkeucher@gmail.com.
