  • Proud moment: my very first 404 page goes live!

    After over a decade of dreaming up content and writing for websites, it's incredible that it was only yesterday that a website went live with a 404 page that I'd helped bring to life. Why do so few companies make an effort to help those who get lost on their websites? Or make them feel bad when they do? In a similar vein, you might also want to ...
