Keane - Page not found Error

You spend a lot of time, money and resources developing a great website. But you know what, it is no good if your customers or prospects are unable to view it.

The least I would expect is a website down for maintenance notice. We have sophisticated content management systems today that enables you to accomplish this very thing. This is a pretty large Information Technology organization with multiple offices across the globe. And now this …

As I started writing this post, I fired up IE to attempt to view the page; it is still trying to display the home page.

Do yourself a favor and invest in a decent content management system that will handle such emergencies. Or get someone to publish a “Down for maintenance” notice at least.

    I agree 100% with this…you can spend alot of time building a brand and then have a potential prospect get this response and all of a sudden your hard work is gone…in milli seconds.

    Always protect your brand….

    a simple error 404page would resolve this issue - need to include details in the htaccess file maybe science to some but very useful for when typo errors.

    For my site a simple typo error sends you here http://www.veritas-consulting.co.uk/.kj
