Turning Websites into Apps: App Building 101

The importance of having an amazing, responsive, and dynamic app in an increasingly app-first culture cannot be emphasised enough. But, many people do not realize that a well-designed website isa great foundation for a well-built mobile application. Here’s a short introduction to building an app from your website.

No Shortcuts
Right off the bat, let’s make one thing clear: there are no shortcuts to building a decent app. If you want your app to be professional, engaging, and actually have a shot at being popular, don’t go for that ‘one-stop’ plug-in or the ‘free’ DIY app builder online. In addition to the subpar quality of the app you will get, you will be taken for a ride everytime you want to update the app or make any changes to it. 

Time and Budget
In addition to the type of app you want for your website, two other factors are really important: time and budget. If you have unlimited amounts of both, by all means, hire a big team of app designers and developers, and watch them slog for months before you see even a basic framework of your app. Plus, be ready to splurge. On the other extreme end are ‘free’ and ‘instant’ app builders which are available aplenty online. 

Dedicated App Builders
There is, however, an easy middle way to Turn Website Into App. Dedicated app building platforms like App My Site offer the expertise of experienced professionals to build you a premium native app. In addition to complimenting your website seamlessly, apps developed with App My Site come with a variety of other important features like registration and login using social media, automatic dashboard and category generation, CMS page integration etc. The best part is that since the app is completely in-sync with the website, all you have to do is make changes to the backend to update the app!
