The automated generation of a web site preview based on a web site identifier, where the web site preview has one or more controls that facilitate connection to one or more endpoints. In response to receiving the web site identifier from the client computing system, the service uses the web site identifier to navigate to the web site identified by the web site identifier. After navigating to that web site, the service accesses an action identifier and an associated endpoint identifier from the web site. The service then generates preview data representing a preview of the web site represented by the web site identifier. The service provides the preview data to the client, where the preview with the control is rendered, so as to facilitate connection with the associated endpoint of the control.

Web site preview generation with action control

The generation of a web site preview based on client presentation state of the client that will render the web site preview. Upon a service receiving a request to provide preview data for a web site preview corresponding to a web site identifier, the service determines client presentation state of the client(s) that is or are to render a web site preview using preview data that is to be provided in response to the request. The service selects a preview template at least in part based on the determined client presentation state. The service also populates the selected preview template with content from the web site to thereby generate preview data representing a preview of the web site identified by the web site identifier. The preview data is thus tailored to the presentation state of the client.
