Studio Editor: Creating a Custom 404 Page

Customize the error page that site visitors see when trying to access a broken link. Design it to match your client's branding and add helpful links to keep visitors engaged.

To create a 404 page:

1. Click Pages

   

   on the left side of the editor.

2. Click Add New Page at the bottom.

3. Click Add under Page.

4. Give the page a name you can recognize.

5. Change the page's URL slug to "error404":

   1. Hover over the page and click the More Actions icon

      

      .

   2. Select SEO Basics.

   3. Enter "error404" under URL slug.

      Tip: The page URL should look like the following example: https://www.mystunningwebsite.com/error404

6. Design the page to your liking. Below are some ideas:

   • Add links, buttons or a menu to help visitors navigate to other parts of your site. This minimizes the chances of your visitors leaving after getting the 404 error message.

   • Add vector illustrations related to error 404 from the Media Manager. You can find tons of free designs in the Media from Wix tab.

   • If necessary, you can hide the global header and footer on this page.

Tip:

Make sure to check how the page looks like on all breakpoints.
