The purpose of most of the websites is to try and keep the visitor on the site, to try and increase the average time of the visitor staying on the website. But, what if the visitor gets lost onto pages that do not exist on your site. Even when a visitor is lost on your site you could easily keep them entertained and busy by creating some really funny and entertaining 404 Error Pages. 404 error pages are quite famous around the web. Whenever a URL does not exists on the site a 404 error page pops up. The default page is just too boring to look at. It does not give any option to try and keep visitor on the site. Instead, web companies nowadays come up with some really stunning 404 error pages which not only say “Hey, you are on the wrong page!”, but also give various other options to do.
Some provide various other links to the services or some provide a search box for a user to search properly what they nee. Some also go a step forward and include some really funny quotations and illustrations to try and keep the visitors engaged to the site. The main parts of a 404 error page are the communication with visitors, preciseness of the content and clear navigation. A carefully designed 404 error page would make a visitor think that you really care for the perfect user experience and do not want them to wander in darkness.
Here In this post we have collected some fresh, creative and funny 404 error page designs. I hope this would help web designers and companies alike to try and design for their own website if you have not done so already! In the meanwhile you may want to read some of our Web Design related articles

wow great 404 pages by great creators/designers.
Thanks for the showcase of Creative 404 Error Page.
Awesome artwork and nice inspiring error pages shared here which are cool,funny as well.Thanks
A really cool collection of inventive 404 pages, it almost feels a shame that most people will probably never see them while browsing. The 404 page is one of the few pages that web designers get to be creative with without having to follow a client brief of how the page should look. I love the damaged site effect blizzard have used for their error page.
