Reconsider setup stages to be more consistently visible #467

Expected behavior

If I am setting up my site and there are stages, I would expect this to be clear not hidden within the contents of the plugin. It took a little while for me to realise what the blue strip was indicating. It is indicating setup.

Actual behavior

Once connected the syncing takes time and even when you go and come back, will pause to resume when you revisit site. This is good that it does this but confusing when you revisit back

Above is just one visual. You also get it showing as a strip.

Workaround or possible solution

I would recommend a persistent more obvious section that says it is syncing but clearly says what is going on and doesn't have to be on all pages. I am not convinced if it needs to be seen on all, or having on the first page or it's own section until done might be better.

If exploring other options is desireable I can happily do that, my feeling is that the current implementation gets lost and feels like a warning or error over information.
