Introduction
The Laravel default error page has very simple and straightforward text that just prints out the error code and message to the user. Although it does its job at showing the error, it's far from my liking and in this short post, you'll be learning how to customize Laravel 403, 404, 500, 503 error pages.

Implementation
There are 4 commonly error pages that user often comes across with and below are the description for each of the possible causes:
- 403 - forbidden error
- 404 - page not found
- 500 - internal server error
- 503 - service not available

resources/views/errors/404.blade.php
# 404.blade.php @extends('layouts.base') @section('content') <div class="max-w-2xl mx-auto px-4 mt-4"> <!-- your custom code here --> </div> @endsection

Do note that this applies to the other error pages as well, to style the 403, 500, and 503, just create a new blade file inside the errors page and add the styling whichever is necessary.
If you are wondering whether the "404.blade.php" can use a different name or location, then the answer is yes you absolutely can but you will have to update the Laravel error handle to show the right place and location of the error page.
use App\Exceptions\SomeErrorException; /** * Register the exception handling callbacks for the application. * * @return void */ public function register() { $this->renderable(function (SomeErrorException $e, $request) { return response()->view('errors.your-custom-error-page', [], /*403, 404, 500, 503 - up to your use case*/); }); }
