Daily Focus – Day 118: Create a Human Error Message
Part of Daily Focus: 365 Practical Notes for Solo and Small Business Owners.

Try this today: Rewrite one error or unavailable message to explain what happened and what to do next.
Keep in mind: A useful error message is a small form of customer care.
