Ensure that the site doesn't break when upstream JSON is not available #37

When the upstream JSON data is not available to the front end, we need to make sure the site handles this gracefully.

Just adding some more detail on this based on what we discussed in the meeting today.

At the moment, when the JSON is not available the site shows a big ugly error message or empty charts or both. We want the site to degrade more gracefully, maybe with a message about data not being available or something similar.
