1. Mobile site

This page template should always be the foundation of any mobile web app built with EPiServer MobilePack. This is where you select the theme of your app, define contents of the start page, set up the footer menu and so on.

You can easily expose any part of your existing web site on your mobile app. Just setup the "Site Connect" page and define the starting point. This will make it easy to reuse content.

2. Standard page

This is the default mobile page. It will be loaded into the web app and it can display the main body, a form or Dynamic Content.

3. Image resizing

Any images in your content with a width that's greater than the device width will automatically be rescaled to fit the device browser.

4. List view

If you insert the Dynamic Content element called "MobilePack ListView" you'll get a mobile-friendly menu that lists all child-pages.

5. Customized buttons

You can create context sensitive buttons, for instance, that allow users to automatically dial a phone number.

6. Preview

When you are previewing the mobile site in Edit Mode you can select which resolution to preview so that you can get an idea of how it will look on a mobile device.

7. Automatic redirection

You can use the personalization feature to identify visitors coming from mobile browsers. EPiServer MobilePack detects if a person is visiting from a desktop internet connection or a mobile one and presents a device-optimized web experience.

8. Planned features - coming soon

Google Maps Page Type, collapsible content control, support for EPiServer Composer, detecting mobile location, setup icons for the app on the mobile device, preloading and caching of the entire app for offline usage.
