+You can provide your own 403 and 404 error pages by creating the `403.html` and
+`404.html` files respectively in the root directory of the `public/` directory

+## Redirects in GitLab Pages
+
+Since you cannot use any custom server configuration files, like `.htaccess` or
+any `.conf` file, if you want to redirect a page to another

+
+Some static site generators provide plugins for that functionality so that you

+(at least Guest) can access your website:
+
+1. Navigate to your project's **Settings > General > Permissions**.
