Just a little help with an app.
Share on: 
fb share twitter share gplus share more share

Hello,

I have trouble finding an information online and I'm sure you could point me to the right direction.

I have a responsive theme (on wp) and I'm looking for a way to create an app that just leads directly to my website.
- basically the visitor will have the choice to download the app, he will have a small icon directly on his phone and once he click it, it will redirect him to my website.

I found Create Apps for Android with AppsGeyser. Free and No Coding required. but I would rather have a one-time cost rather than a "pay every time someone download your app" thing.

If anyone would know a resource for android and iPhone as well it would be very appreciated.

Hello, and thanks for your answer.
I checked the page you send me but it appears to be apps to be able to blog FROM your mobile phone.
I am looking for apps to install on visitors phones so they can access my site easily.

Best regards

You don't really need to go to the trouble of creating an app. The easier option is to add an image so people can bookmark your site on the homescreen of their phone. This achieves the same thing as having an app would. Your visitors can go to your website by just clicking on the icon on their homescreen.

Here is a tutorial for you.

Add to home screen

MIT's App Inventor and Appcelerator Titanium Studio are the best way to go if you want to create an Android app yourself without (much) coding. But yeah, a widget or bookmark on the home screen would be simpler, although a full app could also get you more traffic.

You can use tools like phonegap and appmobil to build apps using html, css and js.
