Page not found

Access and design your site’s 404 pages.

If you choose to access a website that does not exist or cannot be retrieved on the server as the webpage was either shifted or erased, the faulty link will lead you to a 404 error page where an indication of this issue is displayed.

For each project, the 404 page can be found within the Utility Pages section of the Pages Panel.

The 404 page link is highlighted under the Utility Pages section.

Creating a personalized 404 page

You have the ability to personalize the default 404 page of your site to match your preferences.

The default 404 page of any new project includes a large file exclamation point icon, a text block with text "Page Not Found" and a message for the user.
The default 404 page of any project. Personalize it as you see fit.
Helpful hint
  • Encouraged to lead users back to the homepage or provide a navigation menu on the 404 page. For instance: Webflow University 404 page – Webflow.com 404 page.

Assessing your 404 page

You can examine your 404 page by launching a new browser tab and entering a URL from your site that does not exist such as “your-site.webflow.io/does-not-exist”.

Helpful hint
  • ‍If you remove a webpage or opt to modify the url (slug) of a webpage, it is advised to establish a 301 redirect to guide visitors from the old url to the new one. This will avert site visitors from encountering a 404 page. Get acquainted with configuring 301 redirects.
