## Design Tips Here are some suggestions for making the most of your 404 page: - **Choose a compelling mask image** - Since the image shows through the "404" text, pick something visually interesting with good contrast. Abstract textures, aerial photography, or portfolio highlights work well. - **Keep the description friendly** - Visitors landing on a 404 page may be frustrated. Use a calm, helpful tone that guides them back to useful content. - **Point the CTA to your best content** - The default links to the homepage, but you might want to link to your portfolio, blog, or contact page instead. - **Enable the mask animation** - The subtle movement makes the page feel intentional rather than broken.

You can change the mask text from "404" to anything you like. Some sites use words like "Oops" or "Lost" for a more branded feel.
