Hey, I am Ajink, and today in this blog, we’re going to develop a custom 404 error page with engaging animations using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. A custom 404 page not only informs users that they’ve reached a non-existent page but also provides a visually appealing and engaging experience.
HTML Code: create index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
<title>404 Error - Page Not Found</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="error-container">
<div class="error-content">
<div class="error-message">
<h1>404</h1>
<p>Oops! Page not found.</p>
</div>
<div class="animated-bg"></div>
</div>
</div>
<script defer src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
HTML Code Explanation:
- We have a basic HTML structure with a container and content div containing an error message and an animated background.
CSS Code:
body {
margin: 0;
font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
height: 100vh;
background-color: #3498db;
overflow: hidden;
}
.error-container {
text-align: center;
}
.error-content {
position: relative;
}
.error-message {
color: #fff;
z-index: 2;
}
.error-message h1 {
font-size: 8em;
margin: 0;
}
.error-message p {
font-size: 1.5em;
margin: 10px 0 30px;
}
.animated-bg {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background: linear-gradient(90deg, transparent, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2), transparent);
animation: slide 3s linear infinite;
}
@keyframes slide {
0% {
transform: translateX(-100%);
}
100% {
transform: translateX(100%);
}
}
CSS Code Explanation:
- The CSS provides styling for the custom 404 error page, including colors, fonts, and animations.
- The
.animated-bgclass creates a sliding animation to give a dynamic effect.
