404 Error: 60+ Creative And Well Designed Pages

When doing my research on 404 error pages, I was surprised to see that three quarters of the websites I visited did not have custom 404 error pages. These pages are designed to tell the end user that he or she is lost or has come across a page that no longer exists and thus guides them back to the homepage of the website that they were viewing. Without this 404 error page your viewer may stumble upon the default browser 404 error page and you run the risk of them leaving your website all together. So if you do not have an 404 error page on your website, what are you waiting for? Check out these brilliant designs for some great ideas!

I recently hit the 404 error page on HootSuite and they had a few different lines as to why I had possibly hit the page but the one that I found the funniest was “You are here because it’s December 22, 2012.”
