New Application Release Beta - Stone Color Search

Stone color search While I was doing my own personal search for stone. I found it hard to visualize a stone based on certain applications. Based on this experience I produced an application designed to help the consumer with the colors selection process. Search - This application works form all the defined colors that you provided with the original setup. This helps to move people into he specific colors you want to sell. Image Display - The images displayed are images swatches large and small kitchen bathroom other slabs and large swatch views. This is where this application picks up where all others leave off.

2017 Fabricator Market Forcast 2017 shows promising signs While fabricators overall have a positive perspective for the upcoming year, it appears they are a little more cautious than their predictions for 2016, according to   Stone World’s   annual purchasing plan survey conducted by the Market Research Department at BNP Media (Stone World’s parent company). The survey polled fabricators from small-, medium- and large-sized shops located across the U.S., and three-quarters of the respondents have high hopes for 2017 — with sales revenues expected to grow next year by an average of 17%.

The recent survey showed a total of 76% expect sales revenue to increase in 2017. Another 23% said it would remain the same (up 9% from 2016’s predictions), and 2% believe that there would be a decrease in sales revenue. The mean average of 17% growth

We block over 10,000 form spammers a day trying to stuff content and links into website and people email boxes. A recent form spammer is posting content that i
