Make a friendly per error type #231

What is the need / problem?

Currently our friend the snail is the king of all error messages: time out, page not found (400), error 500...

It would be nice to :

  1. Display the error number & reason right on the page (we would save time)
  2. Have a button to return to the website

We can keep the snail picture or choose another one

Which type of users does this problem affect (and how many, if known)?

Everyone

Potential solutions that will solve the problem ?[[brainstorming to list feature candidates]

An example of an error 404 on one of the biggest ecommerce website in France ("The page you are trying to reach has disappeared - our agents are on it") :

They don't have a button to go back to the website, the website redirect the user automatically on the home page.
