Recently, the tech predictions for the near future are that the Mobile App industry will be bigger than the internet itself in 50 years. Yet, today, most websites aren’t mobile-friendly and they are a huge annoyance for those with smartphones. Noticeable, restaurants and bars seem to be among the worst offenders, because their sites tend to use lots of Flash or javascript and have menus formatted as PDFs which are dificult to download and even more difficult to read on a mobile device. Many restaurant websites' mobile versions have elemental flaws such as a Home page missing the click-to-call button, a GPS powered Directions button, the hours of operation, or a Reserve Online button and system to back it.
Careless website designers often prioritize their clients requests for meaningless content on a restaurant's Home page, such as the restaurant's history, large stock photo images with people eating, or a beautifuly decorated but ghotsly interior photo of the empty restaurant. Visitors can't care less; they visit to get quick basic info, and if they can't find it, chances are they'll simply click away.
