Custom Error Pages

One of the goals of a website is to provide a pleasurable experience for the users so that they will visit again.

But sometimes errors occur due to problems in coding, unhandled errors, site too busy, and other incidents. These will cause a default error page. There are also coding errors that can be captured in site wide error handlers. When these occur, it is good practice to provide your users with an error page. The error page should consist of possible reasons for the error, and what the user can do next. In addition links to other portions of the site should be provided.
