Store Closed. Website Open?

Every Shabbat, Jewish-owned businesses close their physical doors.

The store is closed. The office is closed. The owner is with family. The business is resting.

But online, a website can still look available 24/7.

The Website Is the New Storefront

Years ago, if a business was closed, everyone knew it. The door was locked. The lights were off. There was a sign in the window.

Today, many visitors first meet the business through the website. If that website looks fully active during Shabbat, the message can become unclear.

A Simple Digital Shabbat Sign

Shabbat Unplugged adds the digital version of a Shabbat sign on the door. Instead of seeing the normal active page first, visitors see a clean closure message selected by the site owner.

• Shabbat only
• Shabbat and Jewish holidays
• Selected Israeli civil or memorial days
• Custom closure dates
• Business-location timing
• Visitor-location timing
• Strict worldwide timing

Built to Avoid Common Website Problems

The goal is not to break the site. The original page remains underneath, the closure screen is visitor-facing, and search/social crawlers are allowed to see the normal site instead of a closure screen.

The result is simple: one setup, automatic closure, automatic reopening.

The Real Question

The question is not only: Is your store closed?

The question is: Does your website clearly show that your business is closed too?
