How to add website to homescreen | app workaround

Not quite ready to commit to developing an app?

Simply add your mobile site to your iPhone home screen!

Heres how:

  • Head to where ever you insert HEADER code on your site and add this code:

    • <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="REPLACE-THIS-URL">

    • Squarespace: Settings > Advanced > Code Injection

    • Wordpress: download the plugin called Header Footer Code Manager > head into app and add this code to the Header site wide

    • Shopify: download app called XO insert code > once added add code in Header

  • Upload the icon you’d like to use to your media (psst! the icon we made for you in your branding guide)

    • For Squarespace:

      • head into design > custom css > scroll down to the last line of code (you might have to click enter a couple times to start a new, fresh line of code)

      • click manage custom files

      • upload icon (jpg or png)

      • once uploaded, click the upload to add it to that last line of code you just selected

      • copy that http address

      • then discard all changes!! we don’t need this in the CSS

    • For Wordpress:

      • click media

      • upload icon here

      • copy that url they give you once uploaded

    • For Shopify:

      • Head to settings > files

      • upload image here

      • copy the url they give you associated w image/icon

  • And last replace REPLACE-THIS-URL with that new image url you copied from above - making sure to keep it inside the quotations

Thats it! Good luck!
