webclips on macs

I'm looking for a way to create a webclip for a specific site to deploy to a mac.  Some of our users have moved from ipads to macs and I would like to still provide the webclips we have pushed to their iPads for consistency.  It looks like there might be a way to create it and deploy to the dock.  Also saw some mention of Fluid - but not sure that is an option that can be deployed.

There are a few options depending on your requirements.

  1. You can use a config profile with the Dock payload and add Dock Items with the URL.
  2. You could add items to the user's dock using a defaults write command
  3. or install and use dockutil

You can actually make a file called thewebsite.url containing the following:

[InternetShortcut]
URL=https://www.thewebsite.org

Which you could just have in the Applications folder, for example.
