Sorry so late in responding. Okay, please go to www.quikrete.com

I still have a lot of ideas and places I wish to go with the site, but I want some feed back on ease of navigation and functionality. Remeber this is a concrete companies site, so there is a lot of technical information and it is not a very glamorous industry, but I want it to be visually interesting. Here are a couple of the sections I am working on right now:

• Home Page-split the site into "Homeowner" and "Professional" and channel the user imideatly into one side or the other. The home page tries to combine them right now and I think I need a simple from page and them each section essentially has it's own home page.

• Update projects-the writing is almost 15 years old so I have to redesign adn rewrite all of them the "Resurfacing Concrete" one is a template for where I want to go.

• Better project photos and add project videos...I am also a photographer so I am working on this one, but it may be a little further down the road.

Thanks for all your comments

Oh, I also have a question regarding articles, projects etc. Do you think people prefer to read them on the site and have the option for a printable version, or do you think they prefer to have them as downloadable PDFs?
