We previously showcased some of the most creative 404 pages out there, and today we’re bringing you a collection of some of the best company and personal ‘about’ pages on the internet. An about page is an important component to any website. This page is supposed to help your audience, customers, and clients figure out just who you are, how they can contact you, and learn a little more about you. If you create a successful about page you can gain more customers or clients, help people find the information they need, and promote the awesome people that work with you!
