Creating a custom 404 page

A custom 404 page is crucial for maintaining a professional image. It lets visitors know the page they’re trying to access is unavailable, whether due to a removed resource or a typo in the URL.

To create a 404 page in your project:

  1. Open the Pages panel in the left sidebar.

  2. Click the “+” icon and select “New 404 Page” from the drop-down menu.

This will automatically add a custom 404 page to your project.

After publishing your site, test your 404 page by visiting a non-existent URL, such as example.com/thispagedoesnotexist. This ensures your custom 404 page successfully replaces Framer’s default error page.
