Irksome Ads: Parlez-vous anglais? Too bad!
May 25th, 2008 by Cristina Favreau
OK, so this a website, not an ad… but since this my blog, I chose to post this under my Irksome Ads series. Besides, isn’t a website just one big advert for your business??
Check out Restaurant La Maison François and click Welcome. You’ll see what I mean.
(Thanks to my friend Rachel for sending me this link.)
Now, this is just my opinion, but… if the information on your website is available in one language only, why do you make it look like you have the information in two??
As someone in the hospitality industry (bragging to be one of the best Fine Cuisine restaurants in the area), you’re thinking pretty small. You’re pretty close to the city of Montreal. What about tourists researching and planning a trip here, but DON’T speak French? Too bad for you. You’re losing precious business by being so close minded and “inaccessible” to a larger audience.
