App download (page bookmarking) instructions for mobile visitors

Although most mobile visitors nowadays are savvy enough to know how to bookmark a page to their phone’s home screen, you may still want to display these instructions on your mobile site.

First, you need to set an icon that would be displayed on your visitor’s phone, should they bookmark your site. In the Page Editor, click on Page Settings link at the top, and add your icon in the “Home screen icon” section:

Best size for the home screen icon is 57X57px or larger.
