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.
