One of my favourite, I must say is this: If you fall, fall with grace. But before I begin my litany of life’s drama, let’s talk about this inevitable deadly mistake that could happen to your website: Error 404.

Product catalogues may sound like something from the last century, but the truth is, it’s a crucial aspect that you should be most concerned about.
