- **Leftover Wix (still live):** https://masalalomalinda.wixsite.com/restaurant
- **Date:** 2026-08-07

- **Recommended package:** Rebuild
- **Demo path:** `demos/masala-indopak-cuisine/`
- **Hosted concept demo:** not deployed yet (local concept only)

## Snapshot

| Check | Finding |
|-------|---------|
| Mobile-friendly | Viewport present; WordPress + Delizus theme + WPBakery + Slider Revolution — heavy builder stack; Jetpack Boost critical CSS includes body display:none until JS |
| Clear primary CTA | Homepage has no clickable Call / Directions / View menu stack; phone and address are missing from the homepage entirely |
| Contact path obvious | Contact page shows NAP as plain text — (909) 796-2900 and masalaindopak@gmail.com — but no `tel:` / `mailto:` links; Contact Form 7 shortcode renders as literal `[contact-form-7 id=”73″]` |
| Speed / feel | WordPress 6.6.6 + WPBakery + Slider Revolution 5.4.8.3 + Owl Carousel; footer ©2022; feels like a dated restaurant theme |
| Trust (reviews, about, photos) | Real menu depth + food photo library; About shows zeroed theme counters (“0 Dishes Served”) and typo “Cusine”; leftover `/events/` still promotes tacos; old Wix URL still live with freemium banner |
| SEO basics (title, H1, local info) | Custom domain is the right canonical; NAP only on Contact; dual live URLs (WP + Wix) with mismatched lunch/brunch pricing |
| Overall first impression | Real Indo-Pak restaurant buried in builder cruft, broken contact form, and a second abandoned Wix site |

## Top issues (max 5)

1. Homepage never shows phone, email, or address — mobile visitors must dig to Contact, then copy/paste
2. Contact “Send Us Message” is a broken Contact Form 7 shortcode, not a working form
3. Leftover Wix site still live with freemium banner, broken news widget, and outdated lunch pricing vs the WordPress site
4. Theme leftovers hurt credibility: About “0 Dishes Served,” taco Events page, Sample Page placeholder, Book page with `[booking-form]`
5. Hero leans on Slider Revolution taglines without a clear Call / Directions / Menu CTA stack

## Opportunities

What a better site should do for this business:

- Lead with **Masala IndoPak Cuisine · Loma Linda · Halal** and put **Call**, **Directions**, and **View menu** above the fold
- Migrate real menu depth (meat, BBQ, rice, vegetarian/vegan, naan, appetizers) without WPBakery weight
- Surface weekend brunch / family platters / catering as clear paths using owner-confirmed prices
- Retire the Wix subdomain so one URL represents the brand
- Keep existing food photography where usable; Hybrid Care for menu/hours updates

## Suggested scope

Map to `config/packages.md`:

- **Package:** Rebuild — $1,799 (payment plan OK: 50/50 or 3 monthly)
- **Pages / features:** Home, Menu, About, Catering (or specials), Contact — click-to-call, Maps, content migration from WordPress, redirects as needed; retire Wix
- **Out of scope for v1:** Online ordering platform rebuild, paid ads, photography shoot, inventing reviews or menu items
- **Rough timeline:** 2–3 weeks after deposit + content/photos access
- **Update model after launch:** Hybrid + Care ($79/mo) recommended for price/hours/specials

## Call talking points

1. Your homepage never shows the phone or address — hungry mobile users bounce before they find Contact.
2. The Contact “Send Us Message” panel is a broken shortcode (`[contact-form-7 id=”73″]`), not a form.
3. The old Wix URL is still live with Wix ads and outdated lunch copy — confusing next to masalaindopak.com.
4. Theme leftovers (taco Events, Sample Page, About “0 dishes served”) undercut a real menu and photo library.
5. Rebuild path: one fast mobile site, Call/Directions/Menu above the fold, migrate menu + photos, retire Wix — **$1,799** (+ optional Care).
