    Too much text in the top section

    If the goal is usability & navigation, and directing them to select a flooring category... I think you put the easiest way to do this (being the 2-column rectangles) too far down on the page.

    The top section is also quite wordy: The logo has 5 products listed under it. The 3 links in the top right. The location and phone numbers under search box. And the navigation is very plain text as well.

    I would also make the search box stand out more. You've squished it between too much text.

    Try a more powerful/colorful/gradient/image-based navigation. And at the very least, move the "Select a flooring category" up above the "sale" and "go green".
