Here's the site: http://www.patiorooms.com

I think it is very elegant looking. The only thing that really sticks out for me are the coding errors...and these are only errors of omission that could be fixed in 2 minutes. All of the images are missing alt tags. Besides that, nice work. :)

Nicely done. Points for the kewl hover-image whatevers on the bottom navs. Good colors. Easy-to-read. Whitespace use is fine.

You know that 'meta data' is quite last decade. Most major Search Engines (google, msn, etc) for the most part, ignore these (although admittedly, I still use 'em).
'Stuffing' the keyword="' with more than maybe 50 or 60 words is considered 'spam tactics' by some hosts, and they are ignored, as is re-using a certain word more than 5-times in a meta-data tag.

Points for the NAME of the site being the FIRST word in "<title></title>"
(<title>Branstrator: Sunrooms, Patio Rooms and Patio Enclosures</title>)
Not that this word means anything to me, but if it did and I 'searched' for it, your page would be a match ("title" is probably one of the strongest, best SEARCH elements that there is... use it best and begin the TITLE with the NAME of the site or product, never "<title>Welcome to the Branstrator: etc etc etc...</title>. For this example, you get penalizied by SEARCH 'bots..

All in all, 9.5 outta 10. Nice site. :D

You site has a great design appeal. Now All you need is --just concentrate on the required SEO part to make it a 10-on-10 affair.

Let there be sunshine in your approach to a great site...!!!!
