If a customer has any complaints or questions about your product, the first thing they will do is look for the contact page on your website. If they can’t find the contact form on your website easily (or at all), you might lose a customer. Not only that, it can also result in a horrible 1-star rating on famous product review sites, just because of something that could have been easily resolved.
