Why Build a Mobile App for Your Wix Site?

Wix has long been a solid choice for building simple websites for small businesses, currently holding 3.4% of the total CMS market share.

However, building a website is only half (or perhaps less) of your digital footprint today. More people access the internet via mobile today than desktop. That number is around 60/40 in favor of mobile, and has risen greatly in the last 10 years.

That means mobile optimizing your site is a must. If you disregard people who come to you on Android and iOS devices, you're ignoring over half of your target audience. And while your website might work fine on mobile, it will never be as easy to use as a mobile app.

Apps can provide important benefits for online brands – like a better mobile UX, higher engagement levels, and the ability to effectively communicate with your fans and customers through push notifications.

App just offer more power and more possibilities to level up revenue and retention. They're more user-friendly too - ever been on a site on mobile that keeps jumping around, and makes it hard select or tap on the part of the site you want?

There are many examples of these sites across the mobile web. The browser is just not an ideal way to consume content or interact with brands on mobile.

That's what apps are for - and if you're serious about your business, you need one.

A team of experts by your side

When you build a Wix mobile app with MobiLoud – the process couldn’t be easier. We kick everything off with an app consultation, where you’ll chat with one of our experts about your requirements for the app and come up with a roadmap. 

Then we work with you to configure and build mobile apps that offer the same great user experience that your website does, with the added benefits you get from an app.

In just days, your Wix apps will be ready to publish. We’ll test them thoroughly, then prepare all the necessary files for submitting them to the Apple App Store and Google Play. Most app platforms leave you to navigate this tricky process yourself, but we handle it 100% and guarantee a successful launch. 

Easy management, 100% synced with your site

Once the apps are launched, they are simple to manage. 

For a start, the apps will sync 100% with your Wix site. All existing content will be automatically pushed to the apps, and all your site’s features and functionality will work right out of the box. The apps will mirror your existing site – but upgraded with all the most important native features to ensure an ideal native UX. 

It’s the same going forward. Anything new content you add to your Wix site, or any changes you make to it in general, will automatically reflect in the apps too. 

This is also the case if you have a Wix eCommerce site. Your existing product catalogue, payment gateway, cart, and all other features will work just the same as in the apps!

For sending push notifications, and making managing the apps specifically – you can use our simple, no-code dashboard. It’s even easier to use than Wix itself!

Full lifetime support

We don’t just sell you Wix app builder software. We partner with your business to increase your odds of success as much as possible. 

Not only do we manage the app development process, advise you on marketing and promotion, and work with the App Stores to ensure a smooth launch – but we keep supporting you for the lifetime of the apps. 

This is a hands-on process. Most companies pay hundreds or (usually) thousands of dollars to maintain and update their apps every month. With MobiLoud though, this is all covered by your license fee. Any issues that come up will be quickly handled by our team through our personal, dedicated support.

Why MobiLoud vs Wix's App Builder

There is an official Wix app builder, that was launched just around a year ago.

It does much the same thing - converting your Wix site to mobile apps for iOS and Android, allowing you to do so without coding or hiring developers (a project that's likely to cost $50,000+ and take at least 6 months).

It costs $200 per month; in line with the cost of MobiLoud, both of which are far cheaper than building a native app from scratch.

The main difference with the official Wix app builder and MobiLoud is that the Wix app builder takes a lot more work on your part.

It's a no-code app builder, like the Wix website platform, which lets you build an app interface without having to write code. This is great, and takes down the barrier of entry to mobile app development for a lot of people, but still takes work.

A rushed job, and your app interface will look bad. You need to know what you're doing in terms of design. You might spend a lot of time and go through a lot of stress trying to build something that looks great.

Compare that to MobiLoud, which effortlessly converts what you already have on your website to mobile apps. No rebuilding necessary.

MobiLoud also comes with a service element. Our team is there to help with app updates necessary for new OS versions, as well as changes or fixes you want to make to your mobile apps in the future.

With the Wix app builder, you're on your own. It's a self-service platform, so you need to factor in the extra effort you'll spend not only building, but maintaining your apps.

While it may be tempting to go with the "official" version, MobiLoud works just as well as a Wix app builder, with the added support element that you just don't get with Wix.
