"Julian, there are quite a bit of typos on your site."
Maybe you meant:
"Julian, there are quite a few typos on your site."
The phrase "quite a bit of" refers to something you measure, not something you count. And it would never be worded "there are quite a bit of..."
So you might say:
"There are quite a few eggs in that basket."
"There is quite a bit of snow on that mountain."

One good way to help keep this straight is to remove the word "quite":
"There are a few eggs in that basket."
"There is a bit of snow on that mountain."
