Seeking someone to install a module or two, possibly a bit of design.

Hi there, my main source of income is http://www.mikeshardwoodfloors.com and I had envisioned becoming the first in my area to utilize and break through on the internet.

I was the first, but in less than a year my competitors have caught up and SURPASSED me in this area of marketing.

Have a click around, what does the site need?

1. Sitemap.

2. Links module.

3. I would like some more "bling" involving the way pictures are shown, there has to be a better way correct? I believe that pictures are the BEST way to showcase my services and its what a customer wants to see.

I would also like analytics installed and some efficiant linking of my own pages together (possible content rewriting involved.)

To make a long post short, if you (or anyone you know) can take charge of this project, visualize it from a contractor/prospective client/web seeker of local info point of view I would be willing to invest in it.

SEO should be considered top priority, along with improve the content (and the way the content is displayed).

Help anyone? I thought of posting this on xoopslance but there is little to no activity there.

I propose to accept bids or pay an hourly rate.

Here is a list of xoopers that I have compiled that offer various services on their own websites. I recommend looking at the ModuleDevelopment and ThemeTemplates categorys and looking at their websites.

For the pictures you could use lightbox, or even greybox - some prefer grey over light.

You content is not targeted for your area. Sure you have one little blurb about your area on the page but thats not good enough for the search engines. You need to add at least State & Counties info in the title bar & description. If at all possible add your best city in there as well.

People will search for terms like...

Hardwood Floors Arlington Va, New Wood Floors Burbank Ca.
Flooring Contractor Calvert County Md.

Dont forget words like Beltway, Highway, North, South if they apply.

In my area 495, I95, inside the Beltway, metro apply to my location and I use all the time to target customers.

Edit: Im blind this morning! I did find your phone # It was staring me in the face.

I think you should use two custom blocks with all your contact info in it. Set it to the top of the website. Center top left and center top right.

CTL
Mikes Hardwood Floors
2122 Some street avenue
City State Zip Code

CTR
Phone number
Link to your contact form
link to mapquest for your business address.

This way it makes it clear to see. The customer will know how to contact you.

There is no guessing where you located or missing the info. You need to make it stand out. The top of the websit is where it should be.

A few ideas...

Ideas are much appreciated, I will work to implement them.

Keep em coming!

I truly desire to be an innovator in "ecommerce" with a hammer as my customers appreciate doing business this way.

Something I can consider would be a good idea would be a way to display "coupons" or "web specials" etc.

Anything that will handle that?

I have found that HEAVY TEXT is better than a image on the heading.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ned=us&q=hard+hunting&btnmeta%3Dsearch%3Dsearch=Search+the+Web

Hard and Hunting are common words...
Who can argue with success?

Results 1 - 10 of about 11,800,000 for hard hunting.

Oh yes, It's number 1 in the list.
