Make Your Site A Mobile App

Make your site a mobile app and take the online presence of your business to the next level. Seem far-fetched? I know. Mobile app development can sometimes seem inaccessible, complicated, or even to cost-prohibitive to pursue. But those days are gone, because you can now turn your WordPress website into a mobile app in as little as five minutes.

Here are the steps:

1) Log into your WordPress site
2) Navigate to Plugins (in the Dashboard)
3) Click "Add New"
4) Search for "WordApp"
5) Install the WordApp plugin (Note: The full title will be something like "Mobile App Plugin - Make a mobile app - Native iPhone & Android Mobile App WordApp is FREE).
6) Activate the plugin
7) Follow the three step process to (a) give you app a name, (b) indicate if your site is mobile-responsive (If so, click or tap "YES"), and then (c) enter your e-mail address, and then click "SUBMIT"
8) Under "WordApp" (in the Dashboard), look for the "App Builder" option
9) Customize the settings for your app (noting the three tabs for "Design," "Menus & Bars," and "App Structure"), and then click "Save Changes" to save the changes
10) Click the blue "Publish App" tab and enter your e-mail address.

Remember to enter your e-mail address, because you will receive the app by e-mail.
