- Pin Site to Home Screen

Welcome to our new website! We are proud to announce the release of our newly redesigned "responsive" website. A responsive web design ensures that our website can be easily viewed on a majority of browsers and mobile devices with a minimum of re-sizing, panning and scrolling. Your website will automatically adjust to the size and shape of the screen it’s being viewed on. So whether you are viewing the site from your phone, PC or tablet, you will be able to access all of the information that you need! Follow the simple instructions below to pin the Iroquois CSD website to the home screen on your phone or tablet:Android:
- Launch Chrome for Android and open the website or web page you want to pin to your home screen.
- Tap the menu button and tap Add to Home Screen.
- You’ll be able to enter a name for the shortcut and then Chrome will add it to your home screen
- The icon will appear on your home screen like any other app shortcut or widget, so you can drag it around and put it wherever you like. Chrome for Android loads the website as a “web app” when you tap the icon, so it will get its own entry in the app switcher and won’t have any browser interface getting in the way.
- Note: Other popular Android browsers also offer this feature. For example, Firefox for Android can do this if you tap the menu button, tap the Page option, and tap Add to Home Screen.
iPhone, iPad, & iPod Touch:- Launch the Safari browser on Apple’s iOS and navigate to the website or web page you want to add to your home screen.
- Tap the Share button on the browser’s toolbar — that’s the rectangle with an arrow pointing upward. It’s on the bar at the top of the screen on an iPad, and on the bar at the bottom of the screen on an iPhone or iPod Touch.
- Tap the Add to Home Screen icon in the Share menu. You’ll be prompted to name the shortcut before tapping the Add button.
- The shortcut will now appear as an Icon on your IOS device.
The shortcut can be dragged around and placed anywhere, including in app folders — just like a normal app icon. (To create app folders on iOS, touch-and-drag an app’s icon onto another app’s icon and hold it there for a moment.) When you tap the icon, it will load the website in a normal tab inside the Safari browser app.Note: Other browsers, like Chrome for iOS, don’t offer this feature. Due to the limitations in Apple’s iOS, only Apple’s own Safari browser is allowed to do this.http://www.howtogeek.com/196087/how-to-add-websites-to-the-home-screen-on-any-smartphone-or-tablet/We hope you enjoy the new website!
