    Howdy Ya'll!

    I'd appreciate some feedback on my latest project. It's a website for a company that supplies wood flooring services to Chicago and Chicagoland area. Thanks in advance!

    The site looks good. Good work.

    Just a suggestion.. I think it will be useful if you add a section like 'taking care of your wooden floors' and similar topics that users will be interested in.

    That page should have a title like "How to take care of a wooden floor"

    Looks nice. In the gallery section you could optimize the original images reducing their dimensions a little bit. and another thing: some comments on the pictures could help.
    good luck

    "How to take care of a wooden floor" seems a little too long, especially with the current navigation design. How about "Proper Care of Hardwood" ?
    And thanks for bringing this issue up. I never realised that the link is not as intuitive as I would want it to be.

    I'm working on the gallery right now. I'm trying to pick the best way to go about its development.

    I was talking about the title of the page, not the url.

    At the moment the title is "Hardwood Floors Chicago - Elmwood Flooring". That doesn't explain the page at all.

    Also the meta description at present for that page is:
    This should be a snippet or introduction to the article about caring for a hardwood floor.

    The title and meta tags have to be different for every single page on your site.

    Yes, now that I think of it, it makes sense I always had the same title and description on all subpages of my websites. You learn a new thing every day, I guess :)

    Found that. sorry.. must have missed the first time.

    Are you planning for a newsletter for your site, to keep your clients interested in any new products / services you might be lauching soon?

    Adding a section for 'Download brochure' or order a copy of our catalog on your website can also be some good ideas you might want to try out.

    I'd like to include something like this, but I really don't know what could I put there. I don't exactly see many interesting news or producy/services updates... any ideas?
