    Could you write an app that just does one thing, and that is to launch the browser with the specified Uri:

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

    That has the advantage that it is represented as a traditional app rather than a pinned site, so you can style the tile as you wish.
