Customized 404 Page

[def1]

I customized my 404 page so I need to know what you think. If you went to a wrong page on my site would you be interested in following the link back to the homepage?

any page that cant be found will show this so as an example link go to www.bumrecords.net/asdaweasdqwe

Yeah thats pretty nice. Its certainly better than a regular 404 page.

I'd just try to keep it shorter so there isn't any scrolling on the page

A pretty good page.!
I am working on my site and will finish it soon.
I will also make up a similar kinda 404 page .

Thanx for the idea dude!

That page of yers was pretty nice.

Keep it up.

yea, id make it shorter so you dont have to scroll, maybe put the image to the left, writing to the right?

It's okay... it can be improved, though. But it's pretty good for a 404 error page

8.5/10

Good idea, just add css a little and make links more seeable and more proffessional.

Its a good idea to have customized 404 page. Big companies like Microsoft use their Knowledge base page as 404 page. Some companies use sitemap as 404 page. I will go for sitemap as a 404 page.Because it shows the whole tree/structure of the website and visitors will find it useful. :gl:

how do you code that so that when someone types in a url that doesnt exist they see a 404 page. im interested in making one, but making one isnt the problem, its coding a script so that users will see that page.

It depends on your host, but if you have an htaccess file then you can code it from there. PM me if you have more questions.

Thank you all for your comments

Error page are simple HTML pages. They don't require any scripting language. All you have to do is set it as error page in your webserver configuration. Most web host managing softwares like cPanel provides this facility. For more information, please visit this link http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/custom404.shtml
