Layouts

  • The Image component has several different layouts. Each of these layouts offers a different visual, but the two main types of layout are Standard and Full Width. Standard matches the width of the image to the width of the text content. Full Width will make the image as wide as the entire content area of the Book.

Ratios

  • Forced Image Aspect Ratio refers to how the image should be cropped to display, for example, if you have a square image and you turn on the aspect ratio option, then select a 16:9 ratio, the image will be cropped to display at that size ratio by trimming the top and bottom of the image. This is useful if you have many images with different sizes and you want them to all appear the same in your Book.

 

Add an image via the Text Area component

This method is useful for inserting small images such as icons.

  • Add the Text Area component

This technology allows for the delivery of information directly to your customer via their Phone, this information can include, but is not limited to: property specifications, Market Reports or a link to your Web Book.
This technology also allows for the collection of the phone numbers of interested parties, for followup.

On our Web Books platform you can manage both content delivery and SMS Marketing, Web Books offers built in tools for creating and managing outgoing SMS information and Keywords. Included with these tools is the ability to monitor link traffic to your Web Book from Social Media Platforms, you can also shorten your Links using our built-in URL shortening technology.

Why are my Web Book links sometimes not clickable in SMS messages on iPhones?

Unfortunately, due to how iPhones recognise links in SMS messages, they may not always convert links to be clickable. Additionally, security settings which can be enabled on iPhones may prevent links from being tappable.

If you encounter an SMS message with unclickable links, try long-pressing on the message to select the text, and then copy it into your browser's address bar to access the linked Web Book. Remember to delete any non-link text before pasting the link into the address bar.
