What URL did you use to access your page? In your web.xml you mapped Faces Servlet to the /faces prefix, so your URL must include this (even though your actual page is not really on that path).
You can add additional mappings in your web.xml, like the common *.jsf or *.xhtml or replace the existing one, e.g.
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.xhtml</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
