• I have searched the existing issues

Describe the bug

The current "Page Not Found" (404) page appears plain and lacks proper design consistency with the rest of the website.
It provides a minimal or default browser-style message, which affects the overall user experience and professionalism of the platform.

Expected behavior

A more visually appealing and informative 404 page should be displayed, which:

• Matches the website’s theme and color palette
• Displays a friendly message (e.g., “Oops! This page doesn’t exist.”)
• Provides a "Go Back Home" or "Return to Previous Page" button
• Optionally includes a small illustration or animation
