Every now and again, pages get lost and broken on the Internet. Whether someone forgets to add a specific character inside a URL, or a website is totally revamped and a certain page didn’t make the cut for the new website – things that cause 404 pages to exist on websites do happen.
When someone encounters a 404 page on your site, it can either further prove your creativity and attention to detail (see examples below), or it can make your site look like no one really knows what is going on.
If it’s the latter – don’t be surprised if you lose that visitor and hence lose that potential business.
A simple and quick fix is to design a custom 404 page that people will see if and when they come across such a page on your website.
It’s a great way to further showcase your skills and differentiate you from all the other websites out there who neglect this aspect of their website.
Below you will find some of (what we believe are) the best 404 pages out there on the Internet.
