REVIEWS
We continue to monitor and respond to reviews, as the report confirms.

ADDING UBER EATS TO GOOGLE LISTING 
The decision to add UberEATS to the Quinn's Google Listing is yours, but I'd say it's not worth the fee. That is a sponsored spot and Google has partnerships with those currently listed there, Grubhub and Orderup.
SECURITY ALERT
An SSL Certificate has been installed and is actively securing your site, even though no ecommerce takes place there. See screen grab below. The https:// indicates a secure site. A good recommendation by Cumulus. We don't want the security alert displayed. We had this slated but hadn't yet installed it. Done now.



FORMATTING ISSUES 
These issues are coming from the reporter's browser shape ... as you can see in the images they provided, the website has been stretched very W-I-D-E to get these formatting issues. Otherwise, the website images display perfectly fine. I've taken grabs on a standard shape browser, which is 16:9 ratio (width to height).

I design to the current web standard and the Quinn's website features responsive layout, so the images try hard to stay sized properly. If you stretch the window way tall or way wide, you'll get some minimal issues. The images in the CUMULUS report are displaying way outside this standard. ··· This suggests the viewer either doesn't understand they are viewing the site in an exaggeratedly horizontal window or they are trying to sell you something. ···

This is how your site displays when the browser is in a standard shape / size. 



The Cumulus critique asks if we have rights to use two stock photos on your home page. We do.
To improve page load speed, some images on the home page have been removed. Though, ALL display correctly when the web browser window is not stretched excessively in either direction.

Older images have been removed and replaced with more current photos.





Video gallery does display some old videos, the oldest have been removed. They contained some outdated information, such as old hours of operation. They also showed the .net website address, which DOES display fine.




The outdated content mentioned in the Cumulus report is embedded in very old videos. The oldest videos have been removed. Thank you Cumulus, for the suggestion.


REVIEWS PAGE
The overlapping sentences have been repaired. Thank you for calling this out.



MENU PAGE
The menu is designed so viewers can click on any page to get an enlarged menu page. Though, I'm first to admit the menu needs a redesign ... featuring your beautiful food ! Currently it's not appealing. More on that soon.
COME ON IN PAGE
The Come On In page has been redesigned. The old images have been replaced with current images.






EASY PARKING BEHIND BUILDING
This overlap has been fixed.

The overlapping on the home page has been fixed. This was only happening on some mobile devices, repaired now.






The Alive After Five concert series is over. This segment has been removed.
