I like the simple layout.

The fonts with the shadows need to be cleaned up. On my pc they are blurred and dusty around the edges. Have that gal with the windex clean them off :)

I had to look around to see where your company was located since I use services like yours. It looked like you are in Ohio but expanding to GA. You might think about adding locations on the index page.

Only minor things that I could see.

After you get it all polished up make sure you add all your META tags before submitting it to the search engines. Google has lots of information for fine tuning a site for indexing.

Good job so far :)

Your site is simple, direct, and easy to navigate. It might be better designed using frames but what ever. You might think about providing some scope of service information. Such as, examples of previous unusual projects/site clean up/hazardous waste handling, current customer profiles, and advantages of using your company.

I really like the photo graphic, but why the clip art on the index page? I would take that off--it doesn't fit with the rest of the design. I like the blue shape though, that's nice. It looks very modern and... well, clean!

On the employment page, maybe you could change the bright blue words to a slightly darker shade, or the same color as the headings on the other pages. I prefered the font weights, sizes, and colors on the about us and services pages than the other pages. Whatever you decide to go with, I would make it somewhat uniform accross all the pages.

Also, the navigational links.... "About Us" is in a different font than the other links.

My computer is retarded and it refuses to download that vector graphic rendering thing, so I can't even see the allegedly fuzzy words unless I get on netscape (which I did). You might think about that too, people with dinosaur computers, even if they have new web browsers like me, and fast internet, won't be able to see the words unless they download something, and some people won't want to do that. So basically, on the home page, I don't even know what your company name is.

while you're adding meta tags at the end, you could also add alt tags to the graphics.

I do think its a good design overall though.

Sole criticism: The link to the email form has a space in it, as the file name for the form has a space in *it*. This will cause some browsers to choke, and people won't be able to get to your form.

Everything else looks good!

nice and clean/simple looking

how comes there is an "h" missing from polished? Or am I just being dense?

You might want to take a look at other site in the same business to get some I ideas.
Like you could and a request a quote or something like that. Maybe add customer comments?
Just thinking with my fingers out loud!ehhe

I like it as well, simple direct and to the point. A couple of suggestions above have some good merit, especially the previous projects and/or current customer endorsements would be good. A qoute requester would be ideal, and some further detail, IE do you do floor care IE buffer & zamboni (it's not really but comes close), or carpet deep cleaning type work? Most companies try to go for a one stop shop when it comes to that type of service.

Fix the phone numbers on the right of the page looks VERY tacky.
