I have not found any tutorials out there that address how to "properly" create a 404 page in this specific version of Laravel 5.6. I found some outdated once that is a bit different that how Laravel 5.6 works. Any inputs will help.

I found the answer by reading the Laravel Docs "Custom HTTP Error Pages".
Create a "Errors" Folder under "/resources/views/" and create a file named "404.blade.php" then add this code:
@extends('../layouts.app') @section('content') <div id="login-container" class="container-fluid" style="background-color: lightgray;"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12 mt-1 mb-1 text-center"> <h1>{{ $exception->getMessage() }}</h1> <a href="{{ asset('/') }}">back to home</a> </div> </div> </div> @endsectionthen add this route to your "web.php" file:
// 404 Route Handler Route::any('{url_param}', function() { abort(404, '404 Error. Page not found!'); })->where('url_param', '.*');I have written a blog about it: click here
