      Confluence/JIRA administrators get frustrated, when they need to do the same thing differently in Confluence than in JIRA:
      To add an announcement banner in confluence you can do the following things:

      In JIRA you simply set the corresponding administration option: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Configuring+an+Announcement+Banner

      It would be best if Confluence provides the same administration option as JIRA (and gets as well the same updates/improvements for that feature).

      Atlassian Update - September 2018

      With the introduction of Read-only mode in version 6.10 (release notes), Data Center customers can now also show a custom banner message (with and without read-only mode). Please note that this functionality is not natively available for Server instances. At this time you may use one of the workarounds above.

      Cheers,
