How to add Device Mockup to a Publii plugin

Embed Device Mockup on Publii

01

Create a Device Mockup website for Publii on Common Ninja

First, create a Publii Device Mockup website on Common Ninja. On the websites catalog, find the Device Mockup and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Device Mockup website

When you're done creating the Device Mockup website, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Device Mockup Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Device Mockup website to your Publii plugin, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the website embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Publii plugin.

04

Paste the code to your Publii website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Publii plugin editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Publii’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Device Mockup Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Device Mockup website on your Publii plugin.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Device Mockup website on your Publii website. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Publii plugin’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Device Mockup website to your Publii plugin. You can do this by putting it straight into your Publii plugin's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Device Mockup widget when you want people to visualize your app, website, or design in a real world context. Showing screenshots inside familiar devices makes the experience feel more tangible and credible than flat images alone. This is especially helpful for SaaS, mobile apps, UI portfolios, and product launches. Visitors can instantly understand how your product looks and behaves on different screens, which reduces uncertainty before signup or purchase. Mockups also elevate perceived quality by presenting assets in a clean, professional frame. With responsive layouts, you can show multiple devices side by side to highlight cross platform experience, helping visitors trust that your product is polished and ready to use.
