I uploaded my website and the main page works fine the contact and about pages have an error 404 not found

I couldn't view these pages even in the workspaces preview and am puzzled. I have looked at the pages to see errors but at this point I have no explanation

Can you post your code? It's probably just a misspelled link or something.

I notice you have About.html and Contact.html beginning with capital letters. Chances are, if you change them to all lowercase, it'll work. Some servers are picky like that. However the file name appears in the folder, that's how it should be written in any links pointing to it.

I agree with eddie on this one its probably the capitalization in your Contact.html and About.html pages. Make sure you have both spelled the same in your directory and code.
