Hello, World!
The beginnings of a new site for Floormart, LLC, serving customers throughout Colorado.
It has been a long time since Floormart of Colorado, has had an online presence (beyond Facebook)
(Our specialty is Flooring, rather than marketing and technology!)
Floormart has been present in the Denver Metro area for decades, with a loyal clientele.
Floormart is Located in Aurora, Colorado, with technicians in various locations throughout the metro area for our customers' convenience.
We are a local family-based business, properly licensed and insured, which works with only certified professionals, who are reliable technicians and tradesmen.

Correct some language. # Mar 5
Review some OOP materials for web server, add updates and changes to let search engine see progress. # Mar 4 and 5
- Apply proper formatting -- prioritize format for "pass along"/via-phone sending/texting # IN PROGRESS # Mar 6 (see completed items on js, css files, and testing)
Watch server logs for some time and check for indexing and change-scanning by search engines. # Mar 5 and 6: RESULT SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE NOW BEING WATCHED REGULARLY BY GOOGLE AND OTHER INDEXES
Review logs for signs of scanning and malicious attacks, begin considering counter-measures. # Mar 6
Produce js file to detect device type, screen size, pixel details, do math to adjust text on-screen. # Mar 6
Testing of initial js code functionality. # Mar 6
Produce base css file for handling formatting. # Mar 6
Produce css specific to desktop use cases. # Mar 6
Produce css specific to mobile devices. # Mar 6
Testing of initial js. # Mar 6
Testing of initial css for base usage. # Mar 6
Testing of initial css for desktop usage. # Mar 6
Testing of initial css for mobile devices. # Mar 6
Go back and adapt the js file and css files to handle dynamic resizing by end-users. # Mar 6
Research on sever config, why is path matching not working properly. # Found: using lua patterns and they aren't behaving as documented -- works with match if escape dash # Mar 6
- Start integrating js and css files into floormat site material.
- Test integration.
- Figure-out how to gen menus for this site in a good way for our needs--been a long time. :\
- Find old Floormart photos and such for gallery to show visitors past work.
- Bug Blake for any other pics/vids esp. of more recent work and for flooring installed to nice homes.
- Review material on generating a gallery in js on a website--has been quite a while, will be "fun" integrating with layout work just done.
- Start research in server config for using SSL certs -- won't matter until we have a floormart domain again but will matter greatly due to browsers often blocking user access or shooing visitors away if not configured so need to figure-out now.
- Take saved scan logs and tabulate the various malicous scans and attack attempts. Take proper steps--there are MANY of these attempted attacks already.
Adapt js and css files to insure responsiveness doesn't do stupid things like going too small when windows are resized. # Mar 6 # Details: "(In the test files for style and adapting for layout and legibility--files are not yet integrated with Floormart site content and files:) Updated to constraint responsive adaptivity: avoid allowing text to become illegibly small and scale resizing more gently; use min-width to prevent body from crushing. etc."
