A custom 404 page turns a dead end into an opportunity, keeping visitors on your site, supporting your brand, and even boosting your SEO.
Why Bother with a Custom 404 Page?
- Avoid frustration: Instead of a generic error, a custom 404 page offers helpful links, a search bar, or a friendly message to keep visitors exploring.
- Showcase your brand: Inject personality – maybe humor, a kind message, or a unique image – to turn a frustrating moment into a memorable one.
- SEO benefits: Search engines notice organized, user-friendly sites. A well-built 404 page sends them the right signals.
Custom 404 pages are a small touch with a big impact. One client of ours even saw visitors stay longer and a slight bump in conversions after adding one. interGen adds a generic custom 404 page to each of our new clients sites that sends people to the main site navigation and/or search tool if they hit a broken link. If you have some extra touches you'd like us to include on your 404 page to showcase your brand, we're happy to add that as well!

Favicons are quite possibly the smallest part of your site, but it's attention to detail that makes a site stand out.
We generate favicons for our client's websites based on the simplest version or element of their logo. If you do not have a logo (or your logo is too complex to work as a favicon), we generate one using the branding information we have about your site.
