Daily UI #008 404 Page
I remember back in the day when simply having a customized 404 page was fancy. Now with UX, we strive to further reduce the frustration coming from a broken link. The goal, according to this great article on UX and 404 pages from Justinmind, is to keep users moving, onto different parts of the website.
I thought their idea of having the search bar in addition to several links to be useful. I decided to add a random fact about tea as a easter egg to make even errors a bit more fun.
Although not mentioned, and potentially hard to do, it would be interesting to propose content based on the faulty URL.
For example, if the link points to a blog post, then it could be useful to link to the blog page as well as several blog posts with similar ideas (results from a search of terms in the URL perhaps).
