How to put site under maintenance

I am about to apply a new template to a site and will need to make it unaccessible for a little while. I need to change the styles & layout on the cart and checkout pages and didn't find an easy way to make changes without affecting the current site. What's the best way to put a site under maintenance?
I was thinking of making a page that says 'site under maintenance, back soon' kind of thing and set it as the homepage, but if someone bookmarked a page, it would still show up, so I guess I need a better strategy. Creating redirects for every single page is not optimal either, it would probably take longer to do that than applying the style changes. Unless there is a way to create a 'catch all' redirect?
Any suggestions much appreciated.

As snarzom12 suggested, I recommend creating a new page and apply it as the start page which informs the customer that the site is under maintenance. Then create a JS/HTML redirect within the templates associated with this site and point it to your start page.
Regards,
Matt.

  • Can't figure out how to put Site Meter or Statcounter on my site?

    Hi,
    I'm using Notebook style for my website and wanting to put Sitemeter or Statcounter on the footer of my first Welcome page and it's all like a graph border thing. So I followed the instructions of how to do it with Sitemeter, use a text box and then type some code in and paste. Then I tried to do it with Statcounter and had a phrase where I wanted it to go on the footer.
    I'm using Transmit FTP and you can edit the HTML before you publish and I the copy paste for the code. When I go to publish it to my website all I see is the HTML code come up and not the counter at all. What am I doing wrong?
    S.

    varkgirl,
    I haven't tried this yet but I think I know what the problem is, I was doing the edit in Transmit FTP before I publish to my server instead of after and I'm guessing that is why it didn't work.
    Right now I'm focused on getting my pages down with photos and text and it's a big job since I have a lot of products.

  • How do I retrieve the tone panel in Lightroom 5 (with the sliders for exposure, contrast, vibrancy etc which sits under the crop, red eye etc icons)

    How do I retrieve the tone panel in Lightroom 5 ( with the sliders for exposure, contrast, vibrancy etc which sits under the icons for cropping, red eye etc)?

    On a PC, right-click (Mac Cmd-click) on one of the other panel headings such as Tone Curve, Detail, etc. In the context menu that displays, make sure there is a checkmark in Basic. Another quick way to do it is Ctrl->1  or Cmd->1.

  • I purchased 3 ringtones from itunes.  It did not put them under ringtones on my phone.  It is under purchases.  How can I get them under ringtones for iphone 5?

    I purchased 3 ringtones in Itunes.  It put one under ringtones and the others listed under music icon as recently purchased.  How do I get them under ringtones?

    Tones is the new name for Ringtones. If the entry is missing in the left-hand column of iTunes then enable it from Edit > Preferences > General tab.
    If your existing tones are not syncing properly to your iOS device then uncheck the option to Sync Tones from the Tones tab when the device is connected, sync the device, check the option and sync again.

  • I need to know how to put a photo in a box with text under photo, so they all will move in page

    I need to know how to put a photo in a box with text under it, so they move together in a page of text.

    The Acrobat SDK might be a starting point.
    From there, perhaps a plug-in (built with C+).
    Perhaps with a licensed release of a PDF Library (this could be $$).
    The viable and cost effective alternative is use the tried and true.
    Authoring in an appropriate authoring application with appropriate tag management.
    Example:  Adobe InDesign; Adobe FrameMaker or MS Word with PDFMaker (comes with install of Acrobat).
    This way you place "Alternative Text" when mastering content in the authoring file.
    Going the route and with some look-see (research) you may find programmatic approaches to placing the alt txt in the authoring file.
    Note: as discussed in the Matterhorn Protocols there is no programmatic method that provides a fully accessible PDF (specifically, that is an ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1 compliant PDF).
    Regardless, here you have a sub-forum for discussions on Acrobat usage.
    Consequently discussions on/of 3rd party software is rather out of scope eh.
    Be well...

  • How to put pcitures on iphone

    sorry this might be a very basic question, but i jsut cant figure out how to put a pciture on my photo. just dragging from an outside window into itunes iphone area won't work. i have a jpg and it says this type of media cannot be played on the device. i want to use this picture as a background but jsut cant put it on the device. i think with iphoto i might be able to, but i don't have iphoto, only the default apps that came with mac mini (and for some reason i thoguht i was supposed to get iphoto with ilife but i dont have it).

    with your iphone connected to your computer, select the iphone under "devices". you should see a "photos" tab, and from there, you can designate a folder you want to sync with the phone. probably easiest to creat a new folder, and point to that one. place the photos you want in that folder, and sync!
