How to Set Up Proper 404 Error Pages with Useful Navigation on Webflow?
Setting up a custom 404 error page is essential for maintaining a positive user experience when visitors encounter broken or missing links. A well-designed 404 page helps users find what they’re looking for and keeps them engaged on your site rather than leaving out of frustration.
How to do it on Webflow?
Create a custom 404 page with helpful navigation elements, such as:
- A clear message explaining that the page isn’t found.
- Search bar to help users find what they need.
- Links to popular pages or the homepage.
- A friendly design that matches your site’s overall aesthetic.
Do's
✅ Creating a custom 404 page with a search bar, links to the homepage, and a list of popular or recently added pages. This helps users quickly find what they need, reducing their likelihood of leaving your site.
Don'ts
❌ Using the default 404 page with no navigation or helpful links. This can lead to frustration, and users are more likely to leave your site without finding the information they seek.
