  1. Website input?

    A link is a simple way to bridge the data and the source. You can always add your own text, then have an <a href=> tag that links some of the text to the page with further description. Build it right, add your own text in your own words, and add links. I'm not sure you get any SEO benefit with iframes since the data is on another URL.... Beth
  2. Is this legal?

    Congrats Chris! :) Glad it worked out! Beth
  3. This is where I buy: Ladder Stand-Offs Rod!~
  4. ***AAAAANNNNNNGGGGGGHHHHHHH*** [buzzer] Paint is a different material all-together. Paint is not permeable and does not breathe, Stains do. The only characteristic that the two share is opacity. Opacity is determined by the solid content. The higher the opacity the less one can see through it. The lower the opacity, the more one can see through it. You must be feeling contrary today. Sorry, had to point out mis-information. Le's not confuse things with what is your opinion here and not based upon fact and correct use of the term relatively. Sorry...pet peeve alert! Painting is the application of a paint. Staining is the application of a colored sealant. The terms 'Stain' & 'Paint' are not interchangeable as the two do not have the same characteristics in performance or formulation. Rod!~
  5. Website input?

    Web Usability course - Iframes Read.... Beth
  6. Website input?

    Iframe looks cheesy. Just my opinion. Beth
  7. Have another one..... Choosing Opacity | Cabot About opacity. Beth
  8. I'm not going to argue with you. Solid Stains for Exterior Surfaces | Cabot Go read for yourself. Solid stain covers grain. Beth
  9. Website input?

    Getting better! :dancing: Beth
  10. Website input?

    Fixed what? Your pages are still images of text. Beth
  11. Website input?

    By the way - Get RID of the iframe and put a link up. Yuck! Add some text of your own and have a link to PWNC. MUCH better!!!! Beth
  12. Website input?

    Residential and commercial are BOTH an image. NO text. I hope he knows how to fix it. Beth
  13. There are plenty of solid "stains" that cover the grain - and they are not classified as paint. Some of that - is how well they breathe. Covering the grain is not all of it.... Beth
  14. Website input?

    Your "about us" page looks like a cross between a photo gallery and a coupon. 1. smaller photos, fewer of them on one page 2. TEXT TEXT TEXT - about us - talks about your company - where you? What are your business practices? Is there anything special about your company you need to tell them? WHY should they call YOU? Go fix the residential text. What's up with the commercial page? Beth
  15. Is this legal?

    Legal? Maybe so. Ethical? Ummm.... Not to me... I would think he should not be involved in the selection process....at all. Beth
  16. Website input?

    It's not just about the meta tags....you need title tags, you need the text in the body of the pages, etc. Beth
  17. I would have to see the pics after the second strip. The wood doesn't look ready to me at all. Regardless of it being a recoat, since you applied chems, you have to now deal with the consequences of disturbing the finish ( trust me - you have) and you will have to strip it right before coating or it will look horrible and not last. Did you neutralize? Looks pretty black....like maybe it needs to be? Did you wash the rails? Or just apply the chems? Were these photos from after all of the steps you performed the first time? Can we see a picture of the deck, dry - as it is now? Beth
  18. Ummmmm....no. It's not ready to be stained yet in my opinion. Beth
  19. Website input?

    Ummmm.... ok. I look at code. I see you used images rather than text on your pages... Pressure-X Power Washing - (843) 442-2722 This is HUGE NO NO. The search engines will not read that as text, they will index it as an image. You will not like what I am going to tell you , but redo it. No use having a page that the engines can index the text on. Sorry...back to the drawing board! Beth
  20. If one were to get down to the literal interpretation: -Sealing is the application of an environmental barrier (this is also a function of a stain as well). -Staining is the application of a colored sealant whether it be a 'toner', 'semi-transparent' or 'solid' all relative in terms of opacity. ie; any thing that alters the natural appearance of the surface. Rod!~
  21. The reason we explain it this way, is many products have the word "SOLID" before the word stain on the label. (look at the Cabot's line for example) This has worked like a charm for us. When we get asked the question, it typically has to do with the look, not the function. Beth
  22. We explain it as a stain being a solid or semi solid (hide the wood grain), looks most like a paint but breathes unlike a paint. Sealers are semi-transparent and allow you to see the wood, while protecting it from UV. This is how we explain it and people tend to say "oh ok" and be comfortable with it since they can understand it. Hope this helps. Beth
