Big Plans For 2010
We are now a week into 2010 and for me it is a very exiting year. For the last four years I've been taking Computer Science at Acadia University which has meant that this website has been a "spare time" project for me. That was the original plan was that this site and the web design service would always be part time. However my wife and I have decided that come graduation in May 2010 Our Valley will become a full time venture. This is exciting and scary at the same time but it will work.
What can you expect to see? Over the next few months expect to see some major changes coming to this website. There will be a redesign of the website, it will still be a simple, clean site which will be easy to make your way around, but there will be much more information being added to it regularily.
Of course I will always be offering other services such as web design / programming and various other services.
As always if there is anything you would like to see on the site, or any othe feedback at all, please let me know through the contact link at the top of the page.
