I’m pleased to announce that we upgraded our photo subscription from Comstock Complete to the full Jupiter Images collection at print quality.  It wasn’t cheep but our clients will benefit tremendously from the selection hundreds of thousands of high-end images being applied to their sites.  Great images can take a mundane website and make it magnificent.  At iias we strive for excellence in our design and customer support.

We’ve lost our back parking lot.  It was never actually ours.  The lot behind our building was having rezoning issues for a long time and we took full advantage of the free parking.  It was a good run while it lasted.

Now our building shakes with the rumble of excavators digging out the foundation of the new building that will soon live there.  It will have two layers of underground parking, a layer of retail followed by three floors of condos.  I have to say that there is something refreshing about the renewal in Abbotsford’s Downtown.  Seeing all the charming new buildings seems to breath new life to the once decaying part of this city. 

We also enjoy watching the excavators dig out the foundation on our coffee breaks.  There’s something about watching these giant machines reshaping the earth that fascinates all men.

We are very happy to welcome Dan Hoy to the iias team.
