How do I set up a custom 404 page for my hosted site on Webflow?
To set up a custom 404 page for your hosted site on Webflow, you can follow these steps:
-
Design your custom 404 page : Start by designing the 404 page in Webflow just like any other page on your site. Consider incorporating your brand elements and making it user-friendly with clear messaging and a helpful call-to-action.
-
Create a new page : In your Webflow project, create a new page dedicated to your custom 404 page. You can name it "404" or anything else that you prefer.
-
Designate as 404 page : Once you have designed the page, go to the Settings panel in the right sidebar. Under the "Pages" tab, click on the "Add" button next to the "404 Page" option.
-
Choose the custom 404 page : In the pop-up window, select the page you created in step 2 from the dropdown list. Then click the "Save" button to save your settings.
-
Publish your site : After setting up the custom 404 page, you need to publish your site for the changes to take effect. Click on the "Publish" button in the top-right corner of the Webflow Designer, and wait for the publishing process to complete.
-
Check the custom 404 page : To ensure the custom 404 page is working correctly, you can test it by visiting a nonexistent page on your domain or deliberately entering a wrong URL. You should be redirected to your custom 404 page instead of the default error page.
By following these steps, you can easily set up a custom 404 page for your hosted site on Webflow. Customizing your 404 page helps maintain a consistent brand experience for your visitors and provides them with a better user experience when they encounter a page that doesn't exist on your site.
