Custom Error Pages!

[Zetan]

So, you are browsing the net and you have a lot of tabs open. You click on a link that brings you to a 404 Error page!

Chances are you'll leave, never to return. Maybe you'll play with the URL a bit to see if something interesting happens.

Not every internet user is an expert, so we need to give those people a little help.
It also helps your site if you have custom Error Pages. You can provide links back to your homepage and guide the person. It also helps if you explain why they have reached an Error Page.. If they see a plain white 404 error.. you might have just lost a valuable customer/passer by/new member.


Heres ours:

It has search, home page link, recent topics and stats.. it give the person options. We obvioulsy don't have a page or file called 404 that can be browsed.


Most website Admin have a cPanel, and we have the option to customise our error pages.


See this site which I found:

And this page has links to website error pages for examples:
