Customize your 404 page

Clicking on a broken link can be a pain, but you can help ease user frustration by getting creative with your error (or 404) page. A little customization on your 404 page can go a long way towards showcasing your brand's originality and keenness for customer service, like this Etsy example:

Assign a badge as you create or update an article in the entry editor, where you choose more than one badge to be displayed:


Customize how your badges appear using our Layout & Design tool:

You can also tweak a particular CSS element:
