Landing pages and Message Center messages can be visually identical, but there are a few differences.

^{1. Although Airship allows landing page sizes up to 1536K, the ideal page size is much smaller, given the potential for degraded download speeds on cellular networks. We recommend that you optimize your images and HTML to keep total page sizes under 100K.}

^{2. If you have additional assets to load, you can host them in another location and link to them from the landing page. Airship offers additional asset hosting options as a Professional Service. Contact Airship Sales for more details.}

Choosing a Rich Page Format

Questions to ask when choosing between landing page and Message Center:

1. Is there sufficient development time for incorporating Message Center?
   You will generally need 1-3 lines of code for a functional version, and then you'll spend additional time customizing the Message Center to fit the look and feel of your app.

2. Is there a one-time code (such as a coupon code) in the message the user might need in the future?
   If so, choose Message Center.

3. Are there specific instructions or other types of data the user might need to return to?
   If so, choose Message Center.

Rich Page Template Fields

Rich pages use HTML. You can use Airship standard templates, have Airship add custom templates to your account, or upload your own per-message HTML. Page elements in a template are controlled by various fields:

Rich Page Standard Templates

Airship provides three standard templates: Text, Image, and Video. The default elements for each are enabled when creating the page but can be toggled off.

^{1. Labeled Heading in the Image template.}
