Pages: 404 Error Page

Guides 404 error page design for UX, conversion recovery, and brand consistency.

**When invoking**: On **first use**, if helpful, open with 1-2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On **subsequent use** or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Initial Assessment

**Check for project context first:** If `.claude/project-context.md` or `.cursor/project-context.md` exists, read it for brand voice, key pages, and Section 12 (Visual Identity).

Identify: 1. **Site structure**: Key pages to link (homepage, popular pages, search) 2. **Brand tone**: Friendly, professional, playful 3. **Conversion goal**: Recover lost visitors, drive to key pages

Best Practices

Clear Error Messaging

  • **User-friendly**: Neutral message explaining the page wasn't found
  • **Optional 404 display**: Can show "404" but avoid blaming the user
  • **Empathetic tone**: Acknowledge the error gracefully; turn frustration into opportunity

Navigation and Redirection

| Element | Purpose | |---------|---------| | **Site navigation** | Header/footer so users know they're still on your site | | **Search** | Help users find what they need | | **Popular pages** | Links to homepage, features, pricing, blog | | **Similar URLs** | Suggest corrections for common typos | | **Avoid auto-redirect** | Unless confident of user intent |

Design and Branding

  • **Consistent design**: Same header, footer, colors as rest of site (brand-visual-generator)
  • **Avoid confusion**: Users should not think they've left your domain
  • **Mobile responsive**: Test on all devices

Conversion Opportunities

404 pages can drive conversions by:

  • Showcasing popular products or features
  • Featuring testimonials or social proof
  • Offering special promotions or value
  • Linking to mobile app or newsletter

Technical

  • **Track 404s**: Monitor broken links, fix or redirect
  • **Accessibility**: Maintain WCAG standards
  • **HTTP status**: Ensure proper 404 response code

Output Format

  • **Copy** options (headline, message, CTA)
  • **Link structure** (what to include)
  • **Design** checklist
  • **SEO**: Typically noindex; ensure canonical if needed
