Best Practices

404 pages are pages which users will see if they click an invalid URL. An invalid URL could be caused by a developer error, a copy and paste error, or other error. They are not the user’s fault.

When writing 404 Page, keep the following in mind:

  • Be clear and specific.
  • Use Plain Language, not technical jargon.
  • Do not blame the user.
  • Avoid negative language.
  • Avoid using all uppercase letters unless you are using Acronyms.
  • Provide useful information.
  • See Voice and Tone for more information.
