In Oct. 2011 we moved back to Franklin county to the town of Latimer, Iowa. I grew up on a family farm outside of Latimer and we couldn't pass up the opportunity to move back closer to both Karla Mae and I's family along with the cheaper housing prices in the area. Good schools, nice people, small town life are all the benefits of moving back but one disappointment is the lack of web services and websites businesses, municipalities and organizations use in the area. Part of the reason is the area has limited broadband access and what broadband access it has is still slow by most standards.
To do what I can to move businesses in the area to use more broadband I have taken on a couple of web jobs to help get people utilizing and think about using the web for more commerce related activities.
On the real estate side I built the website Hampton Iowa Real Estate for a local Realtor.
On the home construction side I built a website for Hampton Iowa Home Construction.
Hopefully these two websites are just the start of many more to come for the area and help build momentum of usage increase for the area.
