Complete redesign of the site, including logo and home page. Also resetting the picture placing to avoid the picture movement issue when showing in different browsers. Using Google Chrome as the main browser. Removal of Memorial inscriptions as I try to minimise space and page arrangements under Wix.com. Hopefully, I can get a decent resolution to the issue by using dynamic pages.
