what is your opinion toward using Customs error pages

Answer 1

Custom errors pages allow for you to help your user find what they are looking for by placing commonly used links and/or a search boxes, which will help keep users on your website. They also allow for you to blend errors pages into the look and feel of your website, rather than a harsh black text on white background.
