Learning Break

Hello Everyone! Just wanted to write a quick post to let you all know I will be taking a break from designing websites to catch up on some of the newest website technology. A month ago I was busy packing and trying to wrap up design work in Drayton Valley. I am now in St. John’s and intend to advertise when I am on my feet again. I’m excited to learn about HTML5 and experiment with more CSS3. When I come back I plan to introduce some new stuff. I am excited! I’ve had plans for Designed by Marsha for a long time that I haven’t had the time to implement. For the time being I will not be taking any new design jobs. I will keep my blog updated though! See you all soon =).
