Webshop closed for maintenance

Posted August 6th, 2008 by urbantribe

Hi,

How can I close the webshop when I want?

I would like to have a page that worked has an homepage telling customers that the shop is currently closed for maintenance.

We have a clothing business, so when season changes we need to update all the products, so closing the webshop during that time would be very useful.

We are in a hurry now so I'd be very thankful if any help came up quickly!

Thanks in advance once more ;)

could you create another theme "Closed for maintenace" that would only have frontpage active?

Then when you want to close your shop, just activate this secondary theme and your webshop is "closed". Change the original theme and whern you are ready, activate it back.

Well I'll try that... Thx

I would just put a redirect on the home page to a custom page that says closed for reconstruction and kill the navigation links.
(By the way, I love the simplicity of your site-it's one of the best I've seen)

I know what you mean about IE/FF-I have a lot of problems with that too. I get something looking good in FF and then try it with IE and it looks awful! I just spent 2 hours trying to get text to wrap around an image and a text title below it. Finding a solution that worked in FF and IE was tricky. Your site still looks good here though (in IE AND FF!)
