One Stupid & Costly Mistake on Pizzahut’s Website

So, you have two doors for your store and by mistake you put some kind of “Denied” sign on one door? That’s exactly what’s happening on Pizzahut Singapore’s website.

If a user typed “http://pizzahut.com.sg” isntead of “http://www.pizzahut.com.sg” can not access the website. This doesn’t make PizzaHut look good, does it? I admit I like their pizza, though.

Always do a permanent (301) redirect on one domain (www or non-www one) to the other. Be there when your customers expect you to even though it’s a small percentage.

Talking about stupid…more to come…well of cos the lame argument can be that they don’t really bother or focus about visibility or profitability.
