Could you write an application that just does one thing, which means to launch a browser with the specified Uri:

Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri("http://my.website.com"));

This has the advantage that it is presented as a traditional application and not as an attached site, so you can style the tiles as you wish.
