404 error pages appear when website users click a broken link, taking them to a page that has been removed or whose address has been changed. But while the experience itself is a nuisance, a 404 error page doesn’t have to be all bad. In fact, it’s become a growing trend that 404 pages are where even the most serious of companies and big businesses can have a little fun, poking fun at themselves or the user, or simply the 404 error experience itself.
The following thirty examples show the myriad ways in which 404 error pages can actually be a great outlet for creativity. The range of options is unlimited. A 404 error page can consist of computer humor, like 8 bit Peoples or IDZR’s pages, continued website themes, like MoMa or Heinz Ketchup’s, playful accusations, like Cut and Taste or Homestar Runner’s, or even serve as the symbol of an existential crisis, like Spiritual but not Religious or Telltale Games’ pages. Still otherscontain haikus, cute cartoons, and complex designs. Some 404 pages even take advantage of themomentary pause to tell their visitors to get off the computer and go outside!
