<p>I have just deployed my first Craft 3 site to a production server with the following process:</p>

<li>Deploying git repo to the server</li>

<li>Set up database etc</li>

I have just deployed my first Craft 3 site to a production server with the following process:

1. Deploying git repo to the server
2. Then running the composer command to download the required files for Craft etc that were ignored from git (from <https://nystudio107.com/blog/setting-up-a-craft-cms-3-project>)
3. Set up database etc

However, when I open the site in the browser it is returning a 503 Service Unavailable error yet the admin side of the site works absolutely fine.
