404 Error Redirected

Gone are the days of Aimtech 404 error messages. The 404 error page is a server response page that comes up when you try accessing a wrong or deleted page.

Initially, the error page comes up with a 'wrong page message' telling you the page does not exist, then record the page you are trying to access with your IP Address to a log file for us to review missing or wrong links. That was cumbersome for us, so we simplified it.

We now keep record of the missing pages using a statistical system, that allow us to see what page is mostly tried that is missing and how often does our site users try the page. This will easily call our attention to verify and correct wrong links on our pages. Thanks to Google Analytics!

Though we hope to develop the 404 system better in the future, if you fall on a missing page; you will be automatically redirected to our homepage. Easy & Simplified.
