How to create a custom 404 page in WeWeb?

Step 1: Log in to WeWeb

Alright, first things first, log in to WeWeb with your credentials. This gets you into the website builder interface.

Step 2: Navigate to the Pages Section

Once you're in the WeWeb dashboard, head over to the "Pages" section. This is where you manage all your site's pages.

Step 3: Create a New Page

Click on the "Add Page" button to whip up a new page. Give it a name that makes sense, like "404 Error" or "Page Not Found."

Step 4: Design the 404 Page

Now, the fun part! Use WeWeb's drag-and-drop editor to design your custom 404 page. Add some text, images, and other elements to let users know the page they're looking for isn't available. Here are a few things you might want to include:

  • A clear message saying the page is not found.
  • A friendly image or graphic.
  • A button or link to navigate back to the homepage or other useful parts of the site.

Step 5: Configure the Page Settings

After you've designed the page, go to the page settings:

  • Make sure the URL slug is something logical for a 404 error, like "/404".
  • Adjust SEO settings if needed, but remember, search engines shouldn't index this page.

Step 6: Set the 404 Page

Head over to the "Settings" or "Site Settings" section of WeWeb. Look for the option to set a custom 404 page and select the one you just created from the dropdown menu.

Step 7: Publish Your Changes

Once you've set the 404 page, make sure all your changes are saved and publish your website. This will make the custom 404 page live and active for any URLs that don't exist on your site.

Step 8: Test the 404 Page

Finally, test your new 404 page by trying to visit a non-existent URL on your website. Make sure the browser correctly redirects to the custom 404 page and that all elements display as expected.
