Discover Altus
May 16, 2009 Categorized: Geek Central • News •
Altus is really a great place to live. I’ve blogged about the ups and downs of living in a small, remote Southwestern town many times before. It took a good long while for the place to grow on me, I must admit, since I was born and raised in the deep south. But after being here for nearly six years, I really do love it. It’s been said that it takes at least 3 years to “grow roots” in a town, but I say it doesn’t have to take that long. Time doesn’t grow roots. Time just solidifies whatever it is you are doing. Community involvement is what grows roots; time just makes them grow deeper and stronger.
With all of that in mind, I’ve been a bit disappointed that despite all of the things the Altus community has to offer, there has been no central place for newcomers or potential newcomers to find out about it all. For several years I have mulled this over in my mind, thinking that I needed to build a website that highlighted the local community. The problem is, I stay too busy with paying jobs and sewing projects do create a website just because I want to. Then, in January, the Altus Association of REALTORS® approached me about building a website for them to house their Multiple Listing Service and advertise Altus to the rest of the world. There couldn’t have been a better way to get Altus on the map. The MLS is just what Altus needed to have a great community website with info that would be helpful to anyone looking to move here.
So with no further ado, I present to you DISCOVERAltus.com--a DigiFix-built website that highlights the city of Altus, its real estate, and several of its local businesses. I invite you to explore the site, and see what Altus is all about. When you click on other people’s websites, though, don’t let the lack of graphic beauty dim your view of this fabulous little treasure in the southwest corner of Oklahoma. Altus people are the best in the world, and the quality of life here supercedes any shortcomings. Hopefully DISCOVERAltus.com will be a key that helps unlock the hidden treasure that is Altus.

I checked out your website, as I have many you’ve posted before, you are so talented Heather! God has gifted you in so many ways, there have been many times since meeting you that I wish I were more like you. I think one day you should think of writing a book.
