Right!

So how many items on the Never said about restaurant websites Tumblr apply to the Red Cactus website? Yes, it plays music at you. Turn your speakers down.

It's a shame, really, as it's a good restaurant. You just wouldn't know it by its website. (I did eventually find a menu! You have to click the "To Go" link and not the "Menu" link. Obvious, really.)

Autoplay music is an ABOMINATION, and Sooooooo 80's. Idiots! I tab out a dozen things at a time when I'm researching. The MOMENT a tab goes all music on me, I find it and kill it with extreme prejudice, and never read a word it has to say. Die! Die! Die!

Same goes to autoplay videos, or really, anything that makes noise.

Zero content other than the Flash movie. How's that SEO treating them?

*shudder*

Yes, and websites that resize the browser window, too!

Gosh, they don't come up when searching "fort worth mexican restaurant". How ever could that be?!

Please tell me you've sent them an email with a link to the Tumblr site and a note about their lack of search engine visibility!

... on second thought, since their contact form is part of that abominable Flash gizmo, maybe not.

I'm mentally composing one, but haven't written it down yet.

I do have a telling screenshot of what their site looks like on an iPhone, though!
