USWeb/CKS

USWeb is an Internet marketing company going by the same name as the original USWeb of the 1990s. The original USWeb was founded as a web design and site engineering company which expanded during the dot-com boom into online strategy consulting and online marketing. After several mergers with other companies (becoming USWeb/CKS in late 1998, then marchFIRST, officially on March 1, 1999, which was the date of legal closure of the merger with Whittman-Hart). Given the circumstances of the surrounding dot-com boom and resulting decline in industry sector revenue for Web consulting, engineering and design services, the original USWeb went bankrupt as part of marchFIRST and was dissolved.
