Hi,
Is there a way for creating a maintenance page, so that, when I am updating the site, people cannot view it?
Something like "THIS SITE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION"

It only takes a minute or two to upload all pages. Unless you are going to take the site down for several hours (delete all of the content on the server) I don't think you should worry.Originally Posted by jkhill
If you want you can create a simple html page, name it index.html, and upload it to your domain root. When you upload your Fusion pages your home page will over write this simple page as they will both have the same name.
You would only need something like this
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Under Construction</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1 align="center">This site is under construction</h1>
</body>
</html>

Ok. How would I delete all content on the server or upload the file to the domain root? (Tutorial, if possible)
JKhill,
Personally I use an FTP client called CuteFTP Pro but any ftp client software will do the same. Effectively it's like running Windows Explorer and will show you one pane with your local folders and the other the server folders. You would just connect (once you have set up the ftp instructions) click on the server pane, click on a file or folder and hit delete. As usual some caution should be applied here!
But, you don't really need to do this for a temp under construction page. Just create a new NOF site of one page, call it Under_Consrtuction, design the layout, save it as you would normally, publish locally to test it and when happy with it publish to the server or upload with your ftp client. That will overwrite the current index.html and when you have completed your changes to the real site the new index.html from that will overwrite the UC page.

Wouldn't it be great if there was only a single browser to worry about!!!
If you are not removing all content from your domain there is no need to put up an under construction page as all the old pages will still be there until you replace them with the new ones using the Fusion publish feature. IN other words everything will always be there whether it is old content or new content, there won't be any gap or lag of content.
