404 Error page - creative

Such a fun 404 page for sites whose identity is quirky & funny

Hi (again)! 👋

Thanks for sharing your creative 404 page—love the personality you’ve infused into what’s normally a frustrating moment. Here’s some feedback on what’s working and where you might tighten things up:

What’s Working Well:

• Tone & Copy: Your playful copy instantly disarms frustration. The sock metaphor is memorable and taps into universal “lost sock” nostalgia.
• Illustration & Visual Appeal: The orange sock illustration inside the zero from the “404” is eye-catching.
• Emotional Connection: By making users smile during an error, you both humanise the brand and reduce bounce risk.

Suggestions:

• Consider adding a clear call-to-action below the illustration (e.g., “Return Home,” “Visit Dashboard,” or a search bar). This guides users back into the product flow immediately.
• Ensure the copy and buttons have sufficient contrast against the gradient background (WCAG AA for normal text).
• On narrow screens, the large “404” and sock graphic may dominate too much real estate. Test it to make sure.
• A subtle hover or a funny jiggle animation on the sock could deepen engagement and reinforce the idea of “searching.”

This is a charming, well-executed error page that turns a dead end into a delightful moment.

Great work again! 🧦

Great job! 404 pages are a really creative space where you can have fun with the design. I really like your idea for this. The only thing I would possibly consider is making the "404" a tad bit smaller - the header on top "Page not found" is a bit too close to the nabber making it appear uncomfortably squished, while the 404 is very large and on a desktop device might appear a tad bit too large. Also on a side note, when you work on navbars, consider making them a bit less tall as they can easily take up too much valuable screen real estate. Other than that, fabulous job!
