    Not only the page you create are reponsive.
    The edit menu is responsive, too.

    Create websites while on the go
    Take a photograph with your mobile, upload it and insert it into your site.

    Alternatively: images can be inserted from Dropbox (this feature is in beta)

    Add Your First Page




    Add Images

    • First you upload images to the site: you create a collection of images you want to use
    • Then, when are editing a page, you can assign one of the uploaded images to the page
    • Alternatively, you can enter an image URL

    A Single Page Site with 6 Pages


    Each page consits of

    Image - Title - Summary text - Full text



    Add External Links

    Adding links to other sites follows the same procedure as adding images

  • First you add links to the site: you create a collection of links you want to use
  • Then, when are editing a page, you can assign one of these links to the page


  • Up-to-Date Sections

    These are additonal paragraphs with expiry.

    • The default is "hide this section"
    • To show the section, select an expiry date
    • Upon expiry you will receive an email


    Up-to-Date Sections


    Up-to-Date Sections

    Example: a German hotel uses these sections to display Black Forest vacation packages

    Mobile Optimized


    All current up-to-date sections are displayed in an accordion menu on top of the page

    Mobile - Accordion


    Single Page


    Only those up-to-date-sections assigned to a page are displayed on the respective page

    Up-to-Date Sections


    Embed YouTube

    Videos are assigned to page
    • To add YouTube, set "no image" for the page
    xsMobi uses the flexible embedding style of Foundation. Great feature but you cannot just copy and paste YouTube's embed HTML. Instead:
    •  Cut out the respective URL, like so → (next slide)

    YouTube: Get URL


    Embed YouTube


    Embed (even) Flash

    Flash is not displayed on Apple Devices ...

    However, some users want to stay with is. Example: a German hotel, using Flash to present the hotel's interior equipment and rooms.

    • Solution: the Flash embedding is can be set to "hidden" for "medium down", i.e. iPhone and iPad will not try displaying it.
    • Ideally: for handhelds a slider is shown. Display can be set for desktop only.
     

    Embed (even) Flash
