How to Customise the 404 Error Page in Website Builder

A 404 Error Page appears when a user tries to access a page within your website that does not exist, or when there is an error in the URL, like an extra character or a misspelled subfolder, among others. Although sometimes, this error can appear even when a page does exist and is only caused by an error with the connection to the server. In which case, a simple refresh of your browser will do the trick. Learn more about 404 Errors by clicking here.

To customise the 404 Error Page that you'd like to appear for your website in Website Builder, follow the instructions below:
