Sometimes there is a need of closing your online store, so people can’t check out. There are two ways to temporary close your ZenCart store.

 The fist solution is to use “Down for maintenance page”. Simply you log in to your control panel and select Configuration > Website Maintenance > Down for Maintenance. You can turn on here Down for maintenance page.

 Alternatively, you can set your store to showcase mode. To do so you go to your admin panel then Configuration > My Store > Store Status and choose 1 or 2 depending upon whether you want visitors be able to see your store with process or not, either way they will be unable to make purchases.

how to change the content of TITLE on the front page

access the file, 

includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php

and edit the following:

// page title
define('TITLE', 'MOMOKO SUDO');

// Site Tagline
define('SITE_TAGLINE', 'Abstract Art for Everyone');

zencart advertisement box aka banner

go to tool/banner manager and turn off the banners.

A special character can make the entire store vanish entirely

  define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', 'ABSTRACT ART ONLINE STORE - ARTIST MOMOKO');

this above will do fine, but if you put
"Momoko's" in there, the store vanish entirely. I guess it's because of the character '

editing "new tagline here"

the texts below header and above the main text of front page

store / includes / languages / english / index.php
it's called heading_title in the file
