Web Design Inspiration: Diversity of 404 Page Designs

Time for a new portion of web design inspiration! This time, it’s about the web page that can be encountered on any website, the 404 error page.

Being a page, shown to the user when they successfully connect to the server but, for some reason, couldn’t get the requested content on the website, for example, when a page has been deleted, or the link is broken, it has also become a playground for endless creative design experiments and cool interactive solutions. Even though the basic solution for this error page is a simple layout with a line of copy saying something like “nothing can be found” or “something went wrong”, these days the vast majority of websites apply the customized 404 webpages that can serve much more strategic goals or at least add some fun to that annoying situation.

So, today in the new D4U Inspiration issue, I’ve collected a set of 404 web page designs that creatively approach the problem. Scroll down, check them all, and get inspired!
