We just released a new feature on ProSite that allows you to upload a Custom Web Clip.
A Web Clip is the icon that appears on a user’s iPhone, iPad or Android device if they save your website to their device (looks like all your other apps).
Once you set this up, you’ll have an easy, professional way to access your ProSite in one click – not to mention show it to others. We’ve also stripped away elements of the browser so that your ProSite will feel like an app - no distractions at all.
After the jump: how to set this up
Setting up Custom Web Clips:
1. Prosite –> Settings –> Favicon & Web Clip
2. Upload an image at least 114×114 px
3. From your iPhone, iPad, or Android, visit your ProSite in the browser and save it to your screen (details below on this)
4. Done!
Step #3 details:
1) i
Phone/iPad: Open Safari and visit your ProSite URL. Then, click this button (bottom of screen) and choose “save to home screen”
2) Android: Depending on what version you have, you will do one of the following:
Option 1: Menu –> More –> Add Shortcut to Home
Option 2: Menu –> Add Bookmark –> Save as bookmark. THEN, go
to your Bookmarks –> Hold click until menu pops-up –> add shortcut
I love this new feature … things keep getting better and better! Thanks!
This doesn’t work on my iPhone 34GS.
The original ‘P’ Web Clip uploads fine though.
When I try to use my custom artwork, it just takes a screen capture and embeds that in the icon…?
Super
Wow awesome, well worth the pay!
this is a great feature, but on iPad/iPhone if you click on anything it launches the browser and switches to safari. can you stay within the “app” environment if you launch from the icon on your iDevice? Love the ability to strip away browser shell but t’s kind of pointless if you jump out of it to do anything.
Now it would be cool if the prosite actaully worked on an iPhone or iPad
It does! What about it are you having trouble with? If it’s video content, you can just embed from Vimeo if you’d like them to play on mobile.
This doesnt really work properly – its just displays they reverts to safari???
