Customer experience is of utmost importance, as important as making a sale. 


When updating products or making changes to the look of your cart, you don't want your customers to see non-scaled images, text items not properly aligned - anything that you want to put into your site but is not final.


You can simply turn on a button to disable/enable your storefront while you make some changes.
