Editing your Custom 404 Error Page

A 404 error “Not Found” page appears when you stumble onto a link or page that no longer exists. The term “404” is a standard web term, this is why it appears on the page that displays where the error occurs. The goal is to alert your visitor and provide them a way back to a page that is functioning on your site.

By default, your PageCloud page will include a standard 404 error page. You can customize this 404 page to have the same visual styling as the rest of your site.
