I just began launching a site for one of my clients, but I've come across a very strange issue.
Whenever the client tries to access the website from an internet capable device in his office, he gets an error page. However, I have accessed the same site from both my house and from my office on multiple devices and browsers and the correct page has always come up.
This problem has been going on for a few days now and the client says he has tried rebooting and clearing the local cache of the computers at his office.
So, I was wondering why this might be happening and, in turn, how it might be remedied.
Thanks.

If the web page is on a server in the same network as your client, and the network is behind NAT, this is the reason. Generally, one cannot access the services behind port forwarding from inside the actual network.
Solution to this problem is either setting up split-horizon DNS or hairpin NAT.
