Auto-start music on a web site

Undertoad · 04-04-2012, 03:53 PM

I couldn't convince him not to:

That's unfortunate. I don't care for auto-start music, thank you very much.

On a different note, you misspelled Shiitake on the menu page. You left out one "i", shitake. It kind of looks like "shit". No offense.

Undertoad · 04-04-2012, 04:35 PM

Thank you sir

DanaC · 04-04-2012, 04:52 PM

Yeah, that's annoying. I tend to click sites off straight away if they play music on opening.

Aliantha · 04-04-2012, 04:58 PM

I can't believe they don't have a single Australian wine on the menu! Tell him that's pretty terrible.

Undertoad · 04-04-2012, 05:55 PM

The Jacobs Creek Shiraz is Aussie.

Aliantha · 04-04-2012, 05:56 PM

It is. Did I miss it? lol

That'd be right!

Tell him that if I ever travel to Bonito Springs, I will not eat at his restaurant because he had music on his website. Well, that and the plastic cow stuck into the meat making it lose juices on the way to the table. Plastic cow. What the heck does he think he is? Longhorn Steakhouse?

I don't suppose he would let you make how to turn the music off more obvious?

Lovely otherwise.

Please forgive my neurotic copyediting on the menu page:

--There's an extraneous space between the parentheses and "With bleu cheese.."
--In PORTERHOUSE FOR FOUR, the OZ is capitalized, mismatched from the others
--An extra parentheses at the end of Dover Sole
--Apple Strudel gets ice creme instead of ice cream
--Meanwhile, Tartuffo gets Ice-cream
--There's a space missing after the comma in "Bertani Villa Atvedi,Amarone"

Looks really nice!

Thank you ma'am, and all.

I agree with Dana.

As an edit suggestion - I believe the term "DRY AGED" should be "Dry-Aged"
as the two go together. Also, on the main page first line the word "Prime should be moved to the second line with the word aged. Leaving the "DRY" hanging at the end doesn't make the steak sound as appetizing.

I'm probably being picky here, but in the second paragraph it says "finest cuts of meat"
which is fine if they are only referring to beef, but should be meat(s) if they are not.

I like the overall look and after viewing the site for a bit, the music was tolerable.

Well it is Bill Evans. I only steal from the very best dead addicts.

But now, to not have sound via a link:

Ah, there's always a simple way. And now i can use this one in the portfolio.

DanaC · 04-05-2012, 03:41 AM

Yeah...in its defence it wasn't a bad piece of music.

Heh, clever workaround. Better than an asterisk in the portfolio that says, "I swear to God, I tried to talk this client out of his music."
