Spot light on regal floors

understandable, sorry for getting so heated up. thats one thing that makes me irate is when someone uses pictures or something like that from someone else without permission. if you know the guy and you have his permission i think thats cool. i actually had someone ask if he could use one of mine, which was flattering. both of those websites show some pretty good work, and are laid out well.

I thought 5x WAS pixie dust - majic.

I got to say that I agree with Cheesedog about the pictures - I see it all the time in my competitions advertising - I know they do not do work that good - they are hacks. BUT, I have to admit I borrowed some of my suppliers project pictures when I started too with their permission. When I had my site rebuild I used only my work pictures. Hey we all have to start somewhere.

I was the one who asked for the rights to the travertine pics. I have never photoed the picture frames that occur with negative lippage and your shots illustrated it awesomely. The next one I do like that, I will stop the job and completely dry it out to photo that - A picture is worth a thousand words and that's alot of words I will save many times over in the future trying to describe that occurance to a potential client.

i know it was you i just didnt want to throw your name out there, in case you were shy. i honestly dont mind if you use them, theres just some people ou there that would pass them off as their own ya know?

This has gone of topic guys, the topic is the site. Is this the type of site that you feel show that natural stone can be service, and does it make you want to contact this person to do the work for you? If you think the site could be better, please point out where and how. If you like something about the site, please say what and why. This is to help all of us make better sites.

i think the site is good. it is very hard to design the perfect website. i know because ours isnt perfect and weve been trying for a while and theres still a lot of things to change. overall i think it is a pretty good website (regal)

You want comments...you got them. The site looks good. There is some uniformity issue from page to page, that is the menu of a website should be the same at each page, not shift down a line or up a line when you click from page to page. It should appear as if the "header" of the page never moves. Secondly, its a good idea to take advantage of any SEO benefit you can. Therefore each hyperlink should be labeled more specifically towards the content of the page it directs to...instead of Click Here for More Info...your hyper link should read "More on Stone Polishing Here" as we all know how to click a hyperlink by now. It's probably a good idea to correctly spell the word RESTORATION in your title of the pages - your search engines will appreciate that. I reviewed some of your code and didn't find any meta tags for keywords and descriptions. Are you one of those that does not believe the engines are using them?

The thing about a website is that it is always growing. If you continue to update, switch those bogus pictures, add comment pages, videos, photos, customer comments and prsent the reasons why one should choose you over your competition, you'll be doing the right thing. My site is updated as much as 2 to 5 time a week these days and I'm still nowhere near happy. I recently made some changes to some page descriptions and amazingly, I've got hits from searches that I never got before. The point is, it is never good enough, you must put all the energy that you can into it and keep growing it, just like any other marketing campaign.
Good luck with it.

Thanks very much for the comments.
I didn't build the site myself ( I only supplied the content) so everytime I need to change I have to go through the designer ( you even lost me when you start mentioning meta tags etc)

I appreciate all critisim and comments, this is the first website I have had and it's been a real learning curve for me.

keep the comments coming.

I had a real ace do mine. I think the guy is really talented way beyond any website ability, but with marketing in general. The trouble is constant improvements to the site really works best hands on...I didn't know anything about sites before mine was built. It was more effor to try to explain to him what I needed to improve than just doing it myself. Now I've taught myself alot and can build and publish pages, etc. It's really not that difficult to make adjustments, new pages, etc. if you have a decent template setup and apply yourself. If the builder of your site was anygood - your site should be setup to be easily adjusted and manipulated with a little effort and maybe a bit of a learning curve but you'll feel better in the end. I have contracted out my guestbook as that proved to be more trouble than I could handle, but for the most part I'm amazed and very proud of the results that I've accomplished. The cost of the necessary softwares is a drop in the bucket compared to what you can accomplish.

What software did you use.
