About TheFloorPro.com
The Floor Pro website got its start on May 4, 2006. It began as a ready-made forum package with an add-on content management and portal system. Paint it with a pretty skin and edit a few graphics and it came to life. It would be nice to let you think it was much more complicated than that, but it just isn't. It is a site that came together and registered its first members in less than 2 days.
Just who IS TheFloorPro? This question has been asked a number of times. Many want to put an individual's name on TheFloorPro.com. The answer should be simple, but at the same time, it is complicated. With a name, TheFloorPro website could cease to be about the members and visitors that bring this site to life. It would stop being about the contributions that every participant has freely given to make this a valuable resource tool for every segment of the industry and every person looking to make the best decisions on their purchase and installation of flooring products. TheFloorPro.com cannot be about a person. No single individual can do all that you see and experience here. It is The Floor Pro Community that has gathered here to bring you the content that will make this one of the best resources for information and education for floorcovering professionals and those who seek our products and services.
Purpose: We are here solely to be an asset to the flooring industry and the consumers of floor covering products and services. We will gather together the floor industry professionals who are already accomplished or who have a desire to imrove their skills in their areas of expertise and to help each other and the public to become educated in all facets of the industry. We will publish articles that will inform and entertain you; post reviews of flooring related products to help you make buying decisions and write step by step guides to help educate the professional and the do-it-yourselfer alike. Our purpose is to bring the many different industry segments and their target groups together to help close the gaps in knowledge and communication necessary for a well informed business, employee and consumer.
Scope: Flooring has become technically complex and the industry internationally diverse. Advances in communications, transportation and business techniques and models have had the paradoxical effect of distancing its members rather than bringing them closer together. TheFloorPro.com will actively seek out and solicit industry professionals wherever they may be found and in whatever capacity they perform to bring understanding and education to our members and visitors. We will share our information by way of articles, personal reviews and guided instructions, which you will find through our pages via the navigation system at the top of each page. You can also join us in The Floor Pro Community forums to exchange thoughts and ask questions with our professional members and our experienced and well informed consumer volunteers.
The Team: TheFloorPro.com is not a one-person operation. It is managed and maintained by a diverse group of floorcovering professionals who volunteer their time and efforts. It is a team effort that makes it a valuable experience for its members, just as the industry itself must rely on the team effort of all its segments and divisions to satisfy the customer. The team is comprised of:- Global Moderators - volunteers who assist members and visitors in their operation of the forum software and other features, message and thread management (open/close, move, edit, etc.) and supervise other staff.
- Moderators - also volunteers who assist members and visitors and do message and thread management chores, but are often assigned to specific forums or categories.
- Forum Guides - These staff members are assigned to one or two forums in their specific industry specialization. Their job is to assist and mentor members in their field of interest using more focused message and thread management tools and in initiating and encouraging discussions related to their forums.
- Contributors - This is a special group of people who contribute articles, reviews, conduct interviews and author other content that sets The Floor Pro Community apart from other discussion sites. Their well written and informative material is featured in the pages of TheFloorPro.com and the object of discussion in our forums.
All staff members are involved in the organization and development of TheFloorPro.com. TheFloorPro Staff communicate with each other in the Staff Conference Room forum and through email and private messaging. All staff wear the "uniform" of TheFloorPro and are readily recognized. You may contact them at any time via email or PM for assistance and to answer any questions you may have.
Our Goals: We want to be the premier website and forum for the floorcovering professional and for consumers and do-it-yourselfers. Your satisfaction is our goal. We want to provide you with the resources, information, educational tools and camaraderie that will make your career more gratifying and profitable and the choices you make more informed. My job is to do whatever pointing and clicking necessary to make that happen.
