Wait…aren’t iframes dead? Not on your life, sparky.

iFrames are so 1990, or so I thought. But then my client wanted to deliver potentially HUNDREDS of their landing pages for their customers, all branded with each customer’s logo. They didn’t want just a landing page for every customer of theirs, however. They wanted CONTENT to easily be added over time too: posts; more pages; contact forms; all delivered within each customer’s custom-branded header or footer.
Yikes. We prototyped WordPress multisite but my client’s staffers wouldn’t be able to quickly make new “sites” for their customers. We examined whether we should build a site with conditionally delivered headers and footer while setting a visitor cookie to dynamically call them. Both of those options were, quite frankly, a bazooka-to-kill-an-ant and either option would have cost them a fortune in buying our time.
Then I discovered Auto iFrame.
Auto iFrame works so well that it allowed us to leverage WP Beaver Builder to make custom headers and footers as templates and deliver all content within a dynamically updating automatic iframe. Auto iFrame is automagically delivering all of that content inside of what looks like a branded subsite, all while loading and displaying that content inside a dynamically created frame that looks like a normal loading page on the site.
Plus the developer, Greg Ross, was very responsive after I asked a question and he found a bug and squashed it. I swapped out the code and everything worked perfectly.
I’m totally sold on Auto iFrame.
