During my final year of uni I embarked on a computing module which involved usability testing and human centred design. It involved me designing a digital interface for a specific target market. I had to take into account content, typography, colour pallets, use of media and navigation. What is the best way for my target user to move around my site quickly and easily, finding all the information they require and what happens when a missing URL is requested and they get the dreaded ‘404 NOT FOUND’ message?
Good human centred design takes all these things into account, including the occasional error message and clearly communicates to the user that there is an error but the site is not broken. By taking the time to design the 404 NOT FOUND page in keeping with the branding of the rest of the site, confidence with be maintained and users shoul
d stay on the site for longer.
Here are some examples of well designed error pages:
