Company Profile
After accumulating
13 years of electronic and computer experience, Matthew Hunt started
A2Z Computing Services in December of 1995. As an independent contractor
for MaineStreet Communications, Inc. he supported their clients with
Internet connectivity issues, hardware and software support, network
services and web site design consultation.
In August of
1997 he formed a partnership with Brian McKenna of PBA Communications,
Inc. of Portland. This partnership, named WebMaine, was created to
develop a series of web sites aimed at bringing the communities of
the United States onto the World Wide Web.
In April of 1999
Matthew purchased his partner's share of the business and is currently
employing a full staff for the development of the sites. This project
was divided into two phases with the first one being the creation
of the main site http://www.HometownUSA.com that provides a series
of smaller pages for each state and community. Currently there are
over 60,000 web pages on the site representing over 12,100 communities
throughout the United States.
The second phase
of the project is to develop expanded web sites for each community
wishing to participate. The expanded web sites are developed into
true community sites providing information pertaining to all aspects
of the town or city. We work with municipal government and civic organizations
to ensure that the proper "image" is portrayed for the community.
See the following
Sites for examples:
Recently A2Z Computing
Services has started the development of HometownCanada.com,
and HometownEngland.com.
