Great gallery, keep taking those photos!

A couple of suggestions:
* Whenever I see "In business X years" on the side of a truck or building, I always wonder how current it is.  Unless you remember to update on your anniversary, I like to say, "Serving you since 1962"  "Upholstering since 1962" or "In business since 1962,"  etc.

* When you get information added the way you want, you need someone to review & edit for spelling and punctuation (did I spell that right?  ).  E-mails and posts are casual, but web sites need to be spot on to be professional.

Good points Keith.
Sage, you might consider having your homepage re-written. I think it's endearing, and maybe you could keep some of it in "quotations", but Keith is right about having to keep the websites professional. Now that you have one, you won't believe how many people hit on it. And with your reputation for good work, they will seek you out. You might end up hiring a couple more workers
