How does something like this look? http://i1.minus.com/iGfRmjKm0ge9P.png http://i3.minus.com/ibu6imWYDGMUXO.png Cheers, Lea Lea Verou W3C developer relations http://w3.org/people/all#lea ✿ http://lea.verou.me ✿ @leaverou On Mar 26, 2013, at 20:04, Lea Verou wrote: > Hi all, > > I’ve been brainstorming for ideas for the error pages. The idea I’m thinking of going with is to create big numbers in the style of the logo (with colored edges in the same style) which will form the error code at the top of the page. Underneath will be a short description of what a 404 error is, like Seb suggested. The good thing about this is that it will work for all codes, with little extra effort. > > My question is: Do you think the page should be more minimal, or should it have the rest of the WPD cruft around it (navigation, search, footer, etc). In the former case I will create a static page, otherwise it might be worth to add a special WPD: page (going back and forth between WPD:404 and WPD:Not_Found). > > Cheers, > Lea > > Lea Verou > W3C developer relations > http://w3.org/people/all#lea ✿ http://lea.verou.me ✿ @leaverou > > > > > > > On Mar 22, 2013, at 01:27, Julee wrote: > >> Hi, Denis: >> >> I think having a good 404 page is a great idea -- and maybe some other key >> error pages as well.
