Widgets are the back-bone of Frontier. They are a set of UI building blocks that allows Frontier clients to realise their content strategy and get the right information in front of the right user at the right time.
Each of the Frontier screens begin as a blank canvas.
The platform enables you to build each screen using a variety of widget types and styles - allowing each app that is deployed to have an individual look and feel.
Widgets utilise dynamic content and can deep link to other pages in the app, custom built HTML pages, or any web page.
