JFC. Local small business owners, the number one things I am going to your website for is your business hours.

Make that top center. It's 2025, we should not still have to be telling you basic UX here.

Just encountered a local restaurant that won’t show the hours, except in a rotating image, which rotates fast enough that neither of us can read the hours before they rotate away. I ended up making a screen- shot. Ugh. Then again, we haven’t eaten there yet either, and I don’t have any great urge anymore…

We routinely give up on restaurants around here. If we go three times and find them closed each time, in spite of their hours saying they should be open, we won’t even try again. Most that can’t be open when their hours say they will don’t stick around long enough to become favorites anyhow.

(You should probably use "Text" mode: URLs will be mostly recognized and linked, _underscore quoted_ text is looked up in a glossary, _underscore quoted_ (http://xyz.pdq) becomes a link, without the link in the parenthesis it becomes a <cite> tag. All <cite>ed text will point to the Flutterby knowledge base. Two enters (ie: a blank line) gets you a new paragraph, special treatment for paragraphs that are manually indented or start with "#" (as in "#include" or "#!/usr/bin/perl"), "/* " or ">" (as in a quoted message) or look like lists, or within a paragraph you can use a number of HTML tags:

p, img, br, hr, a, sub, sup, tt, i, b, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, cite, em, strong, code, samp, kbd, pre, blockquote, address, ol, dl, ul, dt, dd, li, dir, menu, table, tr, td, th

Comment policy

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
