Chef LeeZ Google Web designer GWD interstitial Ad as a home page!

Chef LeeZ has been publishing blogs on their experience and found work a-rounds since the launch of Google Web Designer GWD. These can be found at Chef LeeZ Blogger Posts.  This is our 4th web site to have been built using GWD.

Today we write about use of a Google Web Designer – GWD – interstitial ad as an index (HOME) page for a web site.  Click here to visit the live test website. 

We found we could create an “index.html Home page” in GWD interstitial Ads and use hyper linked text to navigate about the site. The only draw backs thus far are:

1)  Only on the first view and perhaps not necessarily on every first view does it download size adjusted for viewing on a mobile device (Galaxy Note, 5 inch screen, Android 4.1). Refreshes result in the page going full size.  

2) When it is full size we are unable to move the page contents up or down or left or right as we can with a GWD HTML page.

3) The Thai Cooking School BKK  site was built 700 px wide desiring a left margin of 150px but we had to go with a left margin of zero and place the nav bar to the right side of the page as opposed to across the page to be able to see sufficient of our page to navigate and to be able to see the swipe images.

Verdict is .. Interstitial Ads as your home page are not, as yet, cross platform ... 

Check out our next test, incorporating this page as an Ifram added to an otherwise empty GWD HTML page. Our money is on it works as logic says it will work as the previous test adding ads by way of Iframe is currently running successfully  (see related blogs & http://chefleez.com)?

Otherwise this Google Web Designer – GWD – interstitial ad functions as designed.
