by Smashing Showcase on May 3, 2013 · 0 comments in Design

Errors happen on the internet all the time. Sometimes a link is typed incorrectly, a page has moved or a page simply no longer exists. The error when a website exists, but the specific page does not, is called a 404 error, and most large websites have web pages specifically designed for this.

In fact, as years have gone on, companies and website owners have put as much into the design and function of their 404 error pages as they have for the rest of their websites. This has led to a surfeit of creative, funny and intriguing 404 pages.

A Collection Of The Most Creative 404 Pages

Great 404 pages have a lot in common. They are more than the simple 404 pages of the past, where all they included was an error message and perhaps a link back to the homepage. The best 404 pages now attempt either to help the lost user navigate back to where they were trying to go or to alert the web managers to the problem.

The best 404 pages maintain the consistency of the overall design, but they incorporate some humour or pleasantries into the design to make the experience better for the user. Many of the top 404 pages have a minimalist design or a reference to some of the internet’s favourite films, shows, personalities and jokes.

To see these principles in action, scroll down to find a collection of really creative 404 pages.
