Does a 404 Page Have to Be Plain?

404 pages commonly consist of dry error messages. However, with Framer, you can easily create fun and immersive variations. We'll show you how to use some no-code examples that you can remix and customize to delight your visitors and smoothly guide them to other pages.

Using GIFs

In Framer, adding a GIF is as simple as drag-and-drop, just like an image. For example, you can use an animation by GIPHY's @YUX to bring some joy to a 404 page. This is a great example of providing a memorable experience instead of a simple error message.

Dreamlike Animation with Blur Effect

Another example utilizes an impressive work by GIPHY’s Erica Anderson, adding a blur effect for a dreamlike feel. This effect gives a dreamy appearance to the whole screen, making animations appear smooth even on large screens, thereby enhancing accessibility for more users.

Embedding 3D Typography

By embedding sparkling 3D letters created with Spline via the Embed component in the Insert menu, you can craft an eye-catching 404 page. This method provides a visually strong impression, encouraging visitors to linger longer.

Using Text Mask

In this example, Benjamin den Boer's Text Mask component was used. By applying a Loop GIF as a mask and adjusting its Y-axis position, we created a unique and attention-grabbing 404 page. Like previous examples, this page was easily made and customized in Framer.

Creating Gradient Animation with Loop Effect

A subtle gradient animation was created using a loop effect. The radial gradient, with applied color blending mode, expands and blends smoothly with the base gradient. It’s a small change that significantly alters the overall ambiance of the page.

Crafting Your Own 404 Page

Creating a 404 page in Framer is straightforward.

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

2. Apply one of the techniques introduced earlier, or design creatively on your own

This process allows you to replace a plain error message with a unique and enjoyable experience.

Conclusion

The 404 page is more than just an error screen; it’s an opportunity to enhance the user experience and showcase your brand personality. With the tools and components Framer provides, anyone can easily and enjoyably create a memorable 404 page. Try Remixing this project to craft an engaging 404 page.
