Join me as I venture through creating a public Drupal website with all the features we'd ever dream of. This is bound to include some highs and lows, but we'll tackle this thing head-on! This will serve as a public repository to share the development progress of our new website, built on Drupal and hosted on Pantheon.

Maintenance Mode Page Design #29

Closed ElliotFriend closed 10 years ago

ElliotFriend commented 10 years ago

Drupal has built-in capabilities to facilitiate a "Maintenance Mode" so that people will not be able to see the site while it's undergoing maintenance, but will have a landing page describing the situation.

The way it's laid out by default is not very friendly, and should be re-jiggered to make it look nicer.

This is a lot more like two pages: one when we specify that maintenance will be taking place, and another that displays when the database connection doesn't work (for whatever reason).

Here's the maintenance mode page. It doesn't need to be fancy, but this looks much better than what it used to be.
