				Recently did a complete refresh of a high profile website. Refreshed in a staging area. Tested thoroughly, arranged a promotion to production & announced to the client membership. 
 
 
Did not notice that the on-line membership application form stopped working. The form was no longer on an 'approved' page. Just noticed today when the on-line membership applications dropped off to zero for the last two weeks..
 
 
I squared it up & all is OK now.
 
 
Two observations.. 
 
 
1) Be aware when you relocate a website.. with page naming convention changing.
 
2) As we average an application a day.. we likely missed out on a dozen.  The interested party received an error as they [submit] but I, as the owner of the form, did not. Had I received an email notice I could have remedied straightaway.
 
 
Regards..
