Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 404 error page?
It is the page a website shows when a visitor follows a link to a URL that does not exist — usually because of a typo, a moved page, or a deleted post. Every site produces 404s; what differs is whether visitors see the server's dull default or something thoughtfully designed.
What should a good 404 page include?
A clear explanation that the page could not be found, a prominent link back to the homepage, and a search box so visitors can find what they were looking for. Links to popular pages help too. The goal is to turn a dead end into a way forward instead of a bounce.
How do I create a custom 404 page?
Most themes and site builders let you design one directly — WordPress users can edit the theme's 404 template or use a plugin to assign a custom page as the 404. Whichever route you take, build the page and then test it by visiting a made-up URL on your site.
Do 404 errors hurt my site's SEO?
A normal 404 that returns the correct not-found status is just part of the web and does not penalize a site — it only becomes a real problem when your own internal links are broken at scale. Fix broken internal links and redirect renamed pages, and the occasional stray 404 is harmless.

All these shared 404 errors are very creative and awesome. From all these designs i like these two "MOLOME 404 page" and "Jackrabbit”s 404 Page" both are very aye-catchy and unique.
