It does offer a Google search function for the site along with links to the sitemap and our contact page. Maybe it needs more? http://www.2dolphins.com/notfound.html I’ve been wondering if my 404 page is too spartan.

Personally, whenever I take a page down I try to remember to redirect it to the most relevant page to help visitors from old links, helps with the search engines too. But for any broken links and users that may enter an incorrect URL I really like the related posts feature. Great post, I find that 404 pages often get overlooked.

I'm glad you like it! 404 pages are often underestimated, so the more headway we can make in showing they are important, the better. Hopefully it gets people thinking about other areas of usability... Thanks for the mention on the 404 page. I’m glad you like it!

I took your advice and redesigned my 404 page from the default "page not found" message. I used a combination of humour, apology and options to go elsewhere, that will hopefully get the visitors to stick with my site for another few clicks at least. www.the-fork-of-ambiguity.com/blah This is a great article.

Maybe the KISS rule made it's way through on that one LOL I thought the Google 404 was pretty darn funny actually ~
