Implementing a 404 page

Feature Request: 404 Page Implementation

Summary: Implement a custom 404 error page to enhance user experience and provide clear navigation options when users encounter non-existent pages on the website.

Motivation: A custom 404 page is crucial for maintaining a professional appearance and guiding users back to useful content when they encounter a broken or incorrect link. Without a proper 404 page, users may leave the website out of frustration, leading to a potential loss of engagement and business opportunities.

Detailed Explanation: The custom 404 page should include the following elements:

• A clear message informing users that the page they are looking for does not exist or the APi has exhausted.
• A friendly and helpful tone to maintain a positive user experience.
• Navigation options to guide users back to the homepage or other important sections of the website.
• A search bar to help users find the content they are looking for.
• A visually appealing design that aligns with the overall aesthetic of the website.

Examples and Mockups: Mockup of the 404 page:

---------------------------------------------------
| Aww Snap!! : Page Not Found                        |
|                                                  |
| Oops! The page you're looking for doesn't exist. |
|                                                  |
---------------------------------------------------

Alternatives Considered:

• Redirecting all 404 errors to the homepage: This approach can confuse users as they might not understand why they were redirected.
• Using a generic browser 404 page: This does not provide a good user experience and lacks navigation options.

Additional Context:

• Ensure that the 404 page is responsive and provides a good experience on both desktop and mobile devices.
• Implement logging for 404 errors to track and fix broken links.

Acceptance Criteria:

• A custom 404 page is designed and implemented.
• The page includes a clear error message, navigation options, and a search bar.
• The design aligns with the overall website aesthetic.
• The page is responsive and works well on all devices.
• 404 errors are logged for monitoring purposes.
