Why should I use App’d?
If you’ve been following us on social you’ve seen the hashtag #useappd used frequently on our posts. Here’s what the hashtag means and why we use it.
If new to our page you may be asking yourself, what is App’d?
App’d is a no-code mobile application platform. Let’s start by defining no-code. Unqork defines no-code as followed: “No-code is a class of development technologies that allows users to build and maintain software through a visual UI rather than by writing or editing lines of code”. Within no-code there are different classifications. We belong to the ‘application platform’ class, meaning App’d helps users build classical mobile applications with logins, multiple screens of functionality, complex logic routing data, workflows, and other functionalities.
How does App’d stand apart?
App’d is mobile first, allowing you the user to download and use App’d directly from your mobile phone or tablet. Also App’d is design focused, enabling not only non-technical users to build fully functional apps but also non-designers to build visually appealing interfaces.
Now we can move on to the Big Question.
Why should I use App’d? If you are operating a small business, an independent shop/studio, or a boutique then we are directly talking to you. Over the past year and continuing today, the business landscape around you changed drastically, due to the pandemic. Your business’ need for technology and automation has accelerated as a result of lockdowns and social distancing. Foot traffic to your locations has decreased, yet the cost of running your business has remained the same. Customer behavior has changed — appointments are taken online, food is being delivered to the curb, menus are all digital and even workouts are being conducted through live streams. You probably have more logins now than you’ve had in the past 5 years trying to juggle all of the accounts you need just to stay relevant.
With App’d you just need 1 account.
App’d handles all of the third-party integrations for schedule management, point of sale, streaming, photo/video sharing, and e-commerce — all from one account. Simply choose the features your business needs and they will be available in your own branded app. App’d has been created with your needs in mind. As a business owner, you don’t have time to learn to code or the funds to hire an agency to build a complex mobile app. App’d allows you the user to deploy an AppStore ready app in 5 minutes or less, and to do so comfortably as long as you have access to the internet. More importantly, you can manage every element of your app yourself, so there is no need to call a developer every time you want to make changes or run into a problem — your app will always grow with you.
The terms No-Code and no-coders have up until now been “reserved” for technical people seeking alternatives for building complex software. The small business and independent owner is overlooked, especially in the mobile space — and we are going to change that. You should use App’d because you too need an affordable solution to keep up with the rapid pace of technology. You should use App’d because your customers deserve access to your business, whether it be remote or in person. You should use App’d because technology shouldn’t be a burden to your business but instead a lifeline.
You should use App’d, so why aren’t you?
