Let customers install your website like an app
Your icon on their home screen, full screen, no app store — and pages they have read keep working when the signal drops.

Building an app for the app stores costs months and a developer. Your BrandRafter site can be installed on a phone like an app instead — on the Starter plan and above.
What your customers get
- Your icon on their home screen, opening your site full screen without browser bars
- Pages they have already opened still showing when the signal drops
- No app store, no download and no update to install
How to switch it on
In Settings, open Progressive Web App and turn it on. Upload a square icon or let us make one from your logo or initials, and choose how customers are offered the install: a line in your footer, a small banner, or a floating button. Then publish — the install files are written when your site is published.
On iPhone
iPhones do not offer an install button by themselves, so iPhone visitors are shown the two taps it takes: Share, then Add to Home Screen.
