Our new web site is nearing finalization!

We have finalized the structure of the McAbee’s Custom Carpet website structure!

Our most popular areas of the site are in the main navigation bar, and subcategories have been added as “dropdowns”. For example, while selecting “Products” would take you to a page describing our product offerings, hovering over the “Products” link will present a list of a few of our most requested manufacturers such as Masland, Shaw, Robertex, Mohawk and the like, selecting those items would direct you to the corresponding page.

Obviously, if you are here today, you are seeing links and pages without much content, but please, check back in a a few days to see how we progress.

Your input is very important to us! In the same way we want to help design, make and install your dream rug, we also want to a website that will be a pleasure for you to use, so please, if you would, share your opinions with us! You can reply to this posting or use our contact form, or do it the old fashioned way and pick up the phone and call us.

Thanks to Homeland Secure IT for their assistance and expertise with the changeover site to the easy-to-manage WordPress from the antiquated layout.

Thank you for your patience while we remodel.
