How to load web content and set homepage on simple iOS browser app

Hi,


I'm not much of a developer but what I want to achieve shouldn;t really require much development as I understand it.



My ultimate goal is to use configurator to restrict an iPad to a single app which I will build. This app is basically nothing more than a web viewer. It doesn't even need back and forward buttons. What I would like it to do is load a site that is cached locally on the iPad.


My questions then are:


How do I put the web folder in with the rest of the app?


How do I set the cached site as the homepage?


I'm using an up to date copy of Xcode on Mountain Lion. The app need only run on an iPad & iPad Mini.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Calling me presumptuous is helpful, thanks. I know that setting a homepage on a Mac is just a plist file and I know its possible to load content such as images or other media files with an iOS app, I just don't know how its done, so I don't think its much of a leap to assume that both of those things should be reasonably straightforward for someone who already knows how its done.


Now I seem to have marked your answer as solving my question by accident and there is no way to undo it. Great.
