The fair in your pocket

A PWA puts your fair on visitors' home screens — without the App Store. The programme is to hand, favourites are easy to find again, and it all works even when the signal drops in the hall.

Put the fair on the home screen

The visitor opens your site in the browser and taps «Add to Home Screen». The icon lands among the other apps — no App Store, no code, nothing to wait for.

Summary

The fair on the home screen: the programme to hand, easy to find again — and it works even when the internet doesn't.

Try it yourself

Switch the internet off — and see what happens

Offline is easiest to believe once you've tried it yourself. It takes two minutes with a demo fair on your own phone. Here are the steps — and on the right, a drawn phone you can practise on.

  1. Open a demo fair while you're online

    The phone then gets the programme and the pages ready. Feel free to add it to your home screen.

  2. Switch off Wi-Fi and mobile data

    Or turn on flight mode. Open the fair again — the programme is still there.

  3. Add a favourite, or put an item in My programme

    The heart turns red straight away. The change is saved on the phone and waits for the connection.

  4. Switch the internet back on

    The phone notices the connection by itself. You don't have to do anything.

  5. Watch it sync

    The change is sent — and if you've paired another device under My devices, it turns up there too.

How it works

The website is the app

A PWA (progressive web app) is your UdstillerGuide site, installable. There's no separate app that has to be built, approved and kept alive.

fair.com Nordic Food Fair11:0013:3014:15 = Nordic Food Fair11:0013:3014:15 13:45 13:45 Edit once — both are updated

  • One code base

    The same content, the same address and the same updates as the website. Google still finds every page.

  • Installed from the browser

    «Add to Home Screen» on iPhone, «Install app» on Android and in Chrome on a computer. No login, no store code.

  • Updates automatically

    Correct the programme, and everyone has the new version the next time they open it — without an update in a store.

  • No app store

    No approval, no waiting for review, no developer accounts. And no visitors left without the app because they didn't get round to downloading it.

My devices

From the phone to the laptop

Favourites added on the phone in the hall should be easy to find again at home. Under My devices, the visitor pairs their devices with a short code — no account and no password.

    Or scan the QR code with it. Then the two devices are paired.

    Favourites and My programme come along

    What you save on one is there on the other — and changes sync both ways.

The packages

In all three packages

The PWA — home screen and offline — is standard in all three packages. Push notifications and My devices come with The Complete and The Intelligent, and what the visitor saves follows the furniture in the package.
