You might ask them to have someone objectively review their site. It comes across as unprofessional to me. I found four typos while reading just two pages. Additionally, the homepage content is hard to understand. They have a link claiming valid XHMTL but if you click it, the result reveals quite explicitly that the page does not validate. Who's telling the truth, and who's not? When I used their search tool to search for the word "window" I got this:
window.document.getElementById(’post-2′).parentNode.className += ‘ adhesive_post’; There are literally hundreds of window companies with thousands of salespeople. Maybe they aren't getting much business because their site doesn't generate much credibility.
