hidden=\"hidden\"><p>hi Oh today I&#8217;ll teach you how to create<br \/>this awesome animated 404 page using the<br \/>elemental media carousel widget 404<br \/>error pages are an important part of<br \/>your website&#8217;s user experience in SCR in<br \/>order to avoid negative experiences and<br \/>keep visitors on your site they need to<br \/>know why a link that press doesn&#8217;t work<br \/>and the Googlebot needs to get the<br \/>correct 404 status code as well<br \/>therefore you should design the 404 page<br \/>with this in mind want to know how to<br \/>create it no problem it&#8217;s not as hard as<br \/>it might seem the main idea here is that<br \/>we use the media carousel widgets in a<br \/>somewhat counterintuitive yet creative<br \/>way in Photoshop we created this 404<br \/>design and produce three versions of it<br \/>a blue purple and yellow one we sliced<br \/>each version into eight vertical parts<br \/>and save them as images in Elementor we<br \/>divided our section into add columns as<br \/>well each column received its own media<br \/>carousel widgets with three slide items<br \/>set with a 3d cube effect each item<br \/>received one image blue purple and<br \/>yellow so that all of the vertical<br \/>columns together make up the three<br \/>versions of the 404 design it might<br \/>sound a little confusing but don&#8217;t worry<br \/>I&#8217;ll show you exactly how to make it<br \/>step by step so let&#8217;s dive in first off<br \/>let&#8217;s start with the design we will use<br \/>Photoshop but you can use any image<br \/>editing software set the document size<br \/>to 23 20 by 1000 pixels and to start off<br \/>with let&#8217;s place the blue version of the<br \/>image then go to view and and the new<br \/>guide layout choose columns and set the<br \/>number to eight set the gutter to zero<br \/>great now we have guides next go to the<br \/>slice tool and on the top bar you can<br \/>see the slices from guides button press<br \/>it now the image will be sliced based on<br \/>the position of the guides go ahead and<br \/>save all eight for web now all you need<br \/>to do is repeat the same process for the<br \/>other two image versions now that<br \/>done in Photoshop it&#8217;s time to go over<br \/>to elemental first off we&#8217;ll use<br \/>elementals theme builder to create a 404<br \/>template to replace the default<br \/>wordpress one so let&#8217;s create our<br \/>template go to the dashboard and choose<br \/>elemental go to my templates and press<br \/>the add new button on the pop-up window<br \/>and a select choose single and the<br \/>select post type choose 404 page fill<br \/>the template name finally press the<br \/>create template button we automatically<br \/>are offered pre-designed<br \/>pages and blocks but we don&#8217;t need them<br \/>we&#8217;re going to create our own so we&#8217;ll<br \/>press the X here now let&#8217;s add a section<br \/>we needed to have eight columns so<br \/>choose six columns and add the other two<br \/>by right-clicking on a columns icon and<br \/>choose add new column now we&#8217;re ready to<br \/>add the first media carousel widget<br \/>go ahead search for it and drag it into<br \/>the first column first off in the<br \/>content tab and the slides make sure the<br \/>skin is set to carousel it should serve<br \/>by default now let&#8217;s start with the<br \/>first blue version of the vertical slice<br \/>delete all the slides<br \/>besides item 1 and click it now set the<br \/>image the image is the first version out<br \/>of 3 for the first vertical slice of the<br \/>design now let&#8217;s add the other to<br \/>duplicate the first item and set the<br \/>second image do the same for the third<br \/>one now all you need to do is set the<br \/>effect to cube and set the height and<br \/>width so that the image fits exactly the<br \/>way you want i set the height to 500<br \/>pixels and the width to 100% now let&#8217;s<br \/>tweak the carousel a bit open additional<br \/>options select hide error and set the<br \/>pagination to none and make sure that<br \/>the image fit is set to cover it should<br \/>say by default great now<br \/>as you can see we have a gap between the<br \/>columns and for this design we need to<br \/>go back to the section settings and<br \/>under layout to set the columns gap to<br \/>no gap let&#8217;s also add some top margin in<br \/>the Advanced tab so the section will fit<br \/>properly<br \/>okay great then with the first carousel<br \/>off to the next copy the first carousel<br \/>and paste it in the second column all<br \/>you need to do is change the images of<br \/>the items to the ones from the second<br \/>vertical slice now do the same for the<br \/>remaining columns let&#8217;s speed it up I<br \/>think you&#8217;re getting the hang of it okay<br \/>starting to look good let&#8217;s check what<br \/>we have so far<br \/>cool but what if we could make it a<br \/>little bit better go back to each<br \/>carousel and in the content tab go to<br \/>the additional options we will change<br \/>the autoplay speed to different times so<br \/>that each carousel will animate<br \/>independently let&#8217;s have a look at the<br \/>effect cool one last thing as you can<br \/>see the cube effect adds a bottom shadow<br \/>to the carousel in order to hide this<br \/>all you need to do is add a new section<br \/>and under min height set it to 100<br \/>pixels now and the style give it a white<br \/>background color and in the Advanced tab<br \/>and Link the margins and set the top<br \/>margin to negative 15 pixels great no<br \/>more shadow this design and animation is<br \/>mobile-friendly just make sure to adjust<br \/>the slides tablet and mobile Heights<br \/>accordingly and you&#8217;re ready to go<br \/>well that&#8217;s it now you can create your<br \/>own awesome animated 404 pages with the<br \/>elemental media carousel widget the<br \/>sky&#8217;s the limit don&#8217;t forget to<br \/>subscribe to our YouTube channel for<br \/>more tips and tricks see you
