Maybe you were just too excited.

I really like the design also, very clean and appropriate! The long paragraph on the home page might be better broken up into 2 or 3 paragraphs. The links work for me, your email addy should be a link, change "<at>" to "@" and I believe it will work.

Works now?????!!!!!!!

Musta been on my end!!!

Looks nice, I saw one small problem in Firefox, if the window is smaller then the website pencils get screwed up (works fine in IE):

It is almost as if there is a window over a window. An image over an image. Interesting!!!!

Good find Mickeyco.

What prompted you to re-size the window????

You got half the misspellings taken care of! Now you need to go into your original post and fix the spelling of the actual link, not just the text that's linked...

You need to add in your location somewhere. Peferably in your H1 tag and also in your title bar. You also need to mix up your titles bars a little. Duplicate content from page to page is usually a negative with search engines. When doing your description / title bar / h1 h2 h3 tags, make sure to think about what people will search for exactly. Normally a company name, unless a brand name, is not the best phrase to optimize for.

I love the design. It looks really good.

Yes, excellent site, nice and simple.
Visually and functionally its perfect, I'm gonna check a few more things and get back to you.

aiken is right, you want your location in there.
Titles of pages should be specific to the page, but you wont get duplicate content penalties if the content is different, its just harder to navigate and harder for the search engine to establish relavancy.

Aiken is also right with regard to H1 tags, google loves those and you want them to be a term that you want people to search for (within reason, obviously, if it doesn't make sense or look good, then scrap it).

Other then that, I took the liberty of submitting you to yahoo so that they can crawl your site, google doens't know of it yet either, but you can't submit to google.

For that to take effect, it will take weeks.

Go and submit your site to directories, and get some links from some other sites (either via reciprocal link programs, friendly requests, etc).

If people cannot find your website, it is like not having one at all.

Let me know if this was helpful or if I could do anything for you.

Google Traffic == Money.

Also let me know if I have a place here.

THX GUYS!

Interesting design. Plus, I like the fact that you've created sections for your website based on the visitor type (Homeowner + General Contractor)

Where I see room for improvement is in the copy.

For instance,

Yawn. It's too generic, we live in a world where quality and dependability is expected, so it's not really a selling point unless you say HOW you achieve it. The Sam Adams commercials are an excellent example, "We're a great tasting beer because we only use Bavarian hops, and add 5lbs more per barrel than conventional brewers."

For a contractor deciding to hire a sub-contractor I'm betting safety is an important criteria. Maybe you could use copy that states, "All our builders are certified by *insert accredited safety course here*, in addition to passing our own strenuous safety requirements. As a result, we have been accident free for the past 630 days."

You might even go so far as to include a safety checklist that shows what your safety requirements are.

Remember that substance sells.

Cheers,

Jesse Kanclerz
