Custom 404 Error Pages

Error pages are displayed to Internet users when any one of a variety of errors occur, such as when a user enters an incorrect URL because the server is having issues, you have moved a page during redesign, the user has mu=istyped it etc.  If you do not have custom error pages this could be a lost client as they simply move on.

It is is recommended that you customise your 404 so they see the menu of your site, your logo etc and a short message. 

Note: Custom error pages that are smaller than 10k in size will not display properly in Internet Explorer. Insert a large amount of text into a comment to create the required size.

To create or modify a customized error page:

  1. Click on the Error pages button on the home page.
  2. Click on the button of the required error page, such as the 403 button.
  3. Enter the HTML code for the error page. You can use the buttons at the top of the page to insert variables into the displayed code.

    Example:

    <h1>404 Not Found</h1>
    <p>The requested page, <!--#echo var="REQUEST_URL" --> ,is not available.</p>

  4. Click on the Save button
