Error Page Design

Error Page Hierarchy

404 — Not Found

  • Acknowledge the error clearly: "This page doesn't exist."
  • Offer: Search bar, popular pages, homepage link.
  • Don't blame the user.
  • Optional: brand-appropriate illustration.

500 — Server Error

  • Acknowledge without technical jargon: "Something went wrong on our end."
  • Offer: Retry button, status page link, support contact.
  • Log the error automatically.
  • Don't say "We're working on it" unless you actually are.

403 — Forbidden

  • Explain why: "You don't have permission to view this page."
  • Offer: Login link, request access button, contact admin.

Offline

  • Detect offline state.
  • Show cached content if available.
  • "You're offline. Some features aren't available."
  • Auto-retry when connection returns.

Principles

  1. Every error needs: What happened + What to do next.
  2. Use the brand voice. Error pages are touchpoints.
  3. Never show stack traces or error codes to users.
  4. Include a way to report the issue.
