Do 404 pages have to be dull?

404 pages are often filled with dry notices. However, with Framer, you can easily create fun and engaging alternatives. We will introduce ways to entertain visitors while naturally guiding them to other pages through some no-code examples that can be remixed and customized.

Using GIFs

In Framer, you can add GIFs just like images by simply dragging and dropping. For example, you can enhance your 404 page by using animations from GIPHY found by @YUX. This provides a memorable experience instead of a simple error message.

Dreamy animations with blur effects

Another example involves Erica Anderson from GIPHY, who uses stunning works to create a dreamy atmosphere by adding a blur effect. This results in a mesmerizing feel across the screen, ensuring smooth animations on large displays, helping reach more users with accessibility.

Embedding 3D Typography

By inserting sparkling 3D text created with Spline using the Embed component from the Insert menu, you can create captivating 404 pages. This approach gives a visually striking impression that encourages visitors to stay longer on the page.

Utilizing text masks

In this example, we used the Text Mask component by Benjamin den Boer. A Loop GIF was applied as a mask, adjusting the Y-axis position. As a result, a unique and eye-catching 404 page was created. Like previous examples, this page can also be easily crafted and customized in Framer.

Creating gradient animations with loop effects

Loop effects were used to create subtle gradient animations. Applying a blend mode to a radial gradient allows it to gradually adjust in size and smoothly blend with the basic gradient. Though a small change, it significantly alters the overall vibe of the page.

Creating your own 404 page

Creating a 404 page in Framer is simple.

1. Create a new page and set its name to /404

2. Apply one of the techniques introduced above or get creative yourself

Through this process, you can offer a unique and enjoyable experience instead of a bland error message.

Conclusion

404 pages are opportunities to enhance user experience and reveal brand personality beyond a simple error screen. By leveraging the tools and components Framer offers, anyone can create memorable 404 pages easily and enjoyably. Remix this project to create attractive 404 pages.
