Creating beautiful 404 pages makes the feeling of not finding the page less bitter for the user and the user thinks more about your creativity. In this code we see a bookshelf with a blue theme. The doors of this bookshelf open and close, and it is not one of the books on this shelf, and its place is empty, and instead there is a shadow, and it is written that this book could not be found, and it is reminiscent of page 404.
