How to Make a Website App

We all have our guilty pleasures we love to look at online. (Side of Sweet Mint, College Prepster, Elle Horoscopes). There are so many websites we love and it is always a draaag to have to google in what you want. Wouldn't it be great to have an "app" on your home screen for that specific website? Well now you can. One of Apple's hidden secret that not every one knows about, but Sweet Mint has got your tech fix right here. How to make a website app. Just keep in mind this is on iOS7. For any programs iOS6 and earlier, the set up


STEP # 1: Open Safari app and type in the desired website. I'm going to use Sweet Mint as an example. Type the website into Google and open it up. 


 STEP # 2: Now that you are on the mobile site, you are going to press the square with an upwards arrows. (Look @ purple arrow) A little pop-up blurb is going to come up. Don't worry about this mobile site template. Just for our mobile site. 

  STEP # 3: On the pop-up, click the "Add to Home Screen Button" which will lead you to another pop up! 

 STEP # 4: You can name the app whatever you want. The default name is going to be whatever the website title is, but you can change it to something you want if you don't like that. 


 STEP # 5: Congrats! The app is made and perfect for use. It works just like a normal app and hyperlinks straight to the website. 



Hope you found this very informational! As you can see, two of those other links are other Website apps!

Have you ever made a website app?
