Hi. I am a Freelance Web Designer desperately looking for some help. Now I've seen this done before on a couple of sites, but not sure how it's done exactly. A client wants me to allow their visitors to download a 'client' that allows them to enter their website from the visitor's desktop without entering any URLs. A shortcut is not what they are looking for, they are looking for a 'window client' that consists of zero clutter, and displays their website upon opening. Their website also contains elements that require webkit to work correctly. Is this possible? If so, can you please give me an idea of how to do this? Thanks!
Quick Question
- Thread starter SWD
- Start date
I feel like I would be much better off with Java since I have at-least somewhat experience in Java. I don't really know much c++ or .net framework. But I'm still not sure where to start or what to do exactly.
That depends entirely on the brief for the job, Are they simply after a "chromeless" browser, chromeless meaning no address bar or other toolbars, that is locked to their website as a "home page" and can only navigate to other URLs placed on their site?
If you could be sure that the target audience were running Vista or Windows 7 you could throw a "Sidebar Gadget" together. They are built using HTML and javascript, so shouldn't take you out of a web developers 'comfort zone'.
