So far so good. Looks nice but a more condensed version, when the recorder charges by the page, should be offered.

Submitting documents electronically through Deeds.com saved me time and provided the best possible service for me in the comfort of my own home. There's no faster, better way to record documents than e-recording with Deeds.com.

You did not include the Notice of Intent to File a Lien Statement form which is necessary to properly file a mechanic's lien in Colorado. If you are going to charge people $20 to download the forms, you should include all of them not half of them.
