How to Create a 404 Web Page With Elementor 2020

You’ve most likely gotten a 404 page while browsing a site, right? You probably just closed the page and started looking for an alternative.

Many people get such challenges and leave a site. For the website in question, it leads to lost traffic, abandoned carts, and a low conversion rate.

It is essential to minimize error pages on your site. But sometimes they may be inevitable, or you could have an error page and not know it.

This is why creating a custom 404 page is essential. Rather than have your visitors see the usual frustrating ‘404 Not Found’ page, you can help redirect them to navigate other pages on your site.

Elementor enables you to create a polished, professional, or funny 404 page, giving your visitors a better experience.
