PropTypeDefaultDescription
classNamestring—Optional class name merged onto the outer container.
ctastring"Retreat to Safety"Text displayed inside the CTA button.
descriptionstring"This tunnel has collapsed. The path you seek no longer exists."Supporting text displayed below the heading.
hrefstring"/"Destination passed to Next.js Link for the CTA.
imageSrcstring"/images/8bit-dwarf.png"Image source passed to next/image. The image is omitted when this value is an empty string.
titlestring"The Dwarf says NO!"Heading displayed beneath the 404 number and image.
Accessibility
- The CTA is rendered as a Next.js link inside the Button component, so it provides link navigation rather than button action semantics.
- The image has the fixed alt text "404"; this text is not customizable through the component props.
- The page title uses an h1 element. Check that it fits the heading hierarchy where the block is used.
- Ensure the CTA text describes its destination, especially when replacing the default label.
