Overview
The website for the City of Hinton, Iowa: homepage notices, announcements, a local business directory, a community calendar, years of council minutes and agendas, and pages for every city department.
The project
What we did
We built and maintain the City of Hinton's website as the town's main source of local information. Current notices sit at the top of the homepage, and the site brings together a searchable directory of Hinton businesses, a community event calendar, an announcements feed and years of council minutes and agendas that open right on the page.
Every city department has its own page, along with community pages for churches, development areas, the Veterans Memorial and recycling.
