Our mission is to use technology to bolster businesses around the country. In making this website we knew that we would not only be providing a business an online presence but also improving the quality of life of the residents of the community. That motivated us to put our best foot forward and do the best job possible.”

Manhattan had a population of just over 7000 people according to the 2010 census, which is estimated to have risen to around 8000 in 2019. It was incorporated in 1886 making it an old and established community. It was mostly settled by Irish immigrants who moved there due to the railroad construction work.

Jack added, “Given the rich history and the economic significance of the area, we wanted to make sure we incorporated all the possible information and features on the website. The point was to really showcase the community and attract new visitors and future homeowners. I think we have done a terrific job with it. It should serve the community of Prairie Trails for years to come. It should also help convince those who are considering the community as an option for home ownership.
