404 error page template for SaaS sites

What does this 404 error page template include?

A large 404 display number, a heading and short explanation that the page was moved, renamed, or never existed, two CTA buttons pointing to the home page and the docs, a navigation link list with four destinations and type labels, and a footer with status page, privacy policy, and terms links.

How is a 404 error page different from a 500 error page?

A 404 error page tells the visitor the page they requested was not found, and gives them navigation links to reach where they were probably going. A 500 error page tells the visitor that the server encountered an error completing their request and shows an incident status block. Different reader, different moment, different copy.

What should the navigation link list on a 404 page contain?

The four to six pages a visitor who arrived at a missing URL is most likely trying to reach: the dashboard or app home, the documentation, the changelog, the pricing page, or the signup page. Replace the placeholder links with the actual destinations in your product and add a short type label to each so visitors can scan the list quickly.

Which templates make up the full status kit?

Five templates cover the status and launch surfaces of a SaaS product: the 404 error page for page not found URLs with helpful navigation links, the 500 error page for server errors with an inline incident status block and update log, the maintenance page for scheduled downtime with a progress bar and an email notification form, the coming soon page for announcing a launch date with feature preview cards and an email capture form, and the waitlist landing page for collecting early access signups with a queue position, a progress bar, and a referral link.

Which tools work with this 404 error page template?

Claude Code, Replit, Lovable, ChatGPT Codex, Bolt, and Cursor. Paste it in and replace the heading, the explanation copy, the button destinations, and the four navigation links with your product's most useful destinations.
