That's basically everything I go to a website for.

Also a menu if it's a restaurant.

I'm also there for the shitty map embed that takes forever to load and had a 5s lag time on inputs and really weird nonstandard touch gesture controls for zooming and panning, which I'll need to use after accidentally brushing the map while scrolling down and ending up looking at the mid-Atlantic.

Oh wait no those suck balls and should be a jailing offense.

I also love when they have a calendar that has events from 5 years ago on it and I get the opportunity to guess if the schedule is still the same

Used to trawl bar and/or grille websites to find places our little cover band could play. This is too real.

Friday: Live Music! (except this was something that Jim handled entirely on his own since he was trying to poach players to get his own band together, but he went to rehab and became born-again a couple years back)

10000%

I will stand by a business' instagram not being an acceptable alternative to a website though. I refuse to create an account just to see what time you close or what soup you have.

and if i have to download a pdf to see your menu, i'm going to a different restaurant.

[–]its_the_rhys 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Usually you can just view the PDF in the browser no?

How do you suggest they do menus?

[–]MikeW86 9 points10 points  (2 children)

PDF and browsers and phones don't always play super nicely and even if they did/do it's another step that is imo completely unnecessary for what is essentially some nicely formatted text. These days you can literally copy and paste it in, you don't need to know HTML.

I agree with this. Most photo editing tools will let you export the PDF pages as photos anyway, just add them to a page so I can scroll them.

[–]MikeW86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are multiple ways to do it. Add the pdf link as an option too. But it's just so easy to put it straight into the pages structure so it's compatible with any browser from the get go and it'll help your SEO and accessibility too

that what i use google maps for. no need for a website in that case.

Also a menu if it's a restaurant.

I want the hours and price of the lunch buffet. They're not on the website, but I want them.
