Web Site Frustrations?

Since their modest beginnings several years ago our various web sites have outgrown their designs. The amount of information that we have received, both as text and images has been overwhelming. If you have been frustrated in navigating around, or have failed to find what you were looking for, you are not alone, and we want to talk to you. We would like to pick your brain about what you feel is important and where we should focus our resources to make our web sites keep pace with today's expectations and needs.

Send an email to webmaster@hkvca.ca with your comments, or, if you like, we can talk on the phone.

Here is a list of our web sites:

Our main site: http://www.hkvca.ca

Teachers' Zone:http://teacherszone.hkvca.ca

Our photo and image site: http://www.galleries.hkvca.ca

Where you are right now - our newsletters

And, of course, we have our Discussion Forum at: http://www.hkvca.ca/forum

I look forward to hearing from you!
