From Website to App in Just Two Weeks
Convert your ecommerce website into a mobile app
Boost CVR, LTV and more by turning your store into a native mobile app with MobiLoud's ecommerce mobile app builder.
Yes, with MobiLoud, you can build high-quality iOS and Android apps from virtually any website, regardless of the CMS or tech stack you use.
Whether your site is built on WordPress, Shopify, Salesforce, React, or a custom platform, if your website functions well as a web app and is mobile-optimized, we can convert it into a native mobile app.
Our platform allows you to reuse everything you've already built on the web, so there's no need to start from scratch.
The mobile app will pull directly from your website, ensuring that all the functionality, design, and features remain intact and in sync across both web and mobile platforms.
This allows you to maintain a single code base for both your website and mobile app, saving you time and resources.
Yes, all the features and functionality your web app or website currently has can be recreated within your iOS and Android apps using MobiLoud.
Our platform takes everything from your web app (whether it's content, functionality, or design) and translates it seamlessly into a mobile app experience.
This includes all custom features, web-based plugins, vendors, and integrations (whether you're using platforms like WordPress, Shopify, or something custom-built).
You don’t have to rebuild anything from scratch. We bring everything over into your app, allowing you to maintain a single code base and website while expanding your reach to mobile app users.
Any updates or changes you make to your site are automatically reflected in the app, ensuring that the app stays in sync with your web platform.
The MobiLoud platform itself is fully native and built from scratch in Swift, Java and Kotlin for the best user experience and performance. MobiLoud apps are not strictly native, but rather your existing site or web app running inside a native container that runs in every way like a native app, adds native navigation and features like push notifications. This allows you to recreate your web experience exactly, while adding the key features you need to improve user experience on mobile devices.
Ultimately, you could build a native app from scratch (very very expensive, complex – only for well funded companies where the app is a key part of the value prop), or use a template based solution (could be good but by definition it will be limiting), or use our approach, which gives you the benefits of a native app with the flexibility of the web.
A hybrid approach lets you have a mobile app with all the features of your website, in a very short time and very affordably, with the added benefit of not having to worry about constantly catching up with your site's development to add new features (i.e. if you add or change anything on the site, it changes in the app). You'll maintain a single code-base, your website's, for both site and app.
It's a huge saving in both time and money terms, and it gives you incredible flexibility compared to a situation where you have a web app or website and a native app alongside it.
Our approach with MobiLoud is to empower you to use a single platform (your website) to serve both web and mobile app audiences.
We don’t try to add new features beyond what you’ve built on the web, but instead, we help you leverage your existing website to create both a site and a mobile app.
All the functionality comes from your website. We strongly believe that almost anything can be built on the web today.
With MobiLoud, you only need to focus on maintaining a great website, and from that effort, you get both a high-quality website and a mobile app, without any additional work or investment.
Our platform and service adds native elements to enhance your app, making it feel just like a native mobile experience while using the functionality of your website.
We include native navigation with familiar elements like a tab menu, making it easy for users to navigate your app. Your app will have a custom splash screen, loading animations, and spinners, ensuring a good UX while content loads.
Push notifications are fully integrated through platforms like OneSignal and Klaviyo, allowing you to send personalized notifications and automate flows. Users can manage their push preferences directly in the app, choosing which notifications to receive based on categories or interests.
Our team handles everything related to getting your app published on both the App Store and Google Play, making sure it complies with all of Apple and Google's requirements.
We offer a complete configuration dashboard that gives you full control of your app once it’s live. However, to ensure the app is built optimally and approved quickly by Apple and Google, our team handles the initial configuration. With our experience, we can set up your app in the most efficient and effective way possible.
After the app is live, you or your technical team can access the dashboard to manage the app's configuration, including pages, menus, and push notifications. If you prefer, our team is always available to make any adjustments on your behalf, especially if you’re not technical. We can handle everything for you as needed.
Your app will require an internet connection to operate, which is the case for almost all modern apps, including e-commerce platforms like Amazon, media apps, and social networks. Technically, building a fully offline app that mirrors everything your website provides would require an impossibly large application, with full synchronization when a connection is restored. This is highly impractical, if not impossible, to achieve with most web backends, whether it's a custom-built backend or a platform/CMS like Shopify and WordPress.
The reality is that most mobile apps, including major brands, require an internet connection for content updates, transactions, and real-time interactions. If your use case specifically requires offline functionality, then MobiLoud may not be the best fit for your needs, as our solution is optimized for apps that are connected to the web.
Our process starts with a consultation to understand your vision and app requirements. After sign-up, we schedule an onboarding call to discuss customization options and guide you through completing the necessary forms.
Once your preferences are clear, we develop your app, prepare custom graphics, and share a preview for your feedback. Together, we test the app, making sure everything works as expected.
After testing, we submit your app to the Apple and Google stores, monitor the approval process, and keep you updated until the app is live. Once your app is launched, we provide marketing advice and ready-to-use assets to help you promote it effectively. We also conduct strategy sessions around push notifications to ensure you're leveraging this powerful channel to maximize user engagement.
Throughout the entire process, we ensure you have support and input at every key step, from development to post-launch growth.
No coding knowledge is needed to launch and manage your app with MobiLoud. Our platform converts your existing website into a mobile app, bringing over your content, design, and functionality without requiring complex native development work. The app stays in sync with your website, so any updates you make are reflected instantly in the app.
If you want to make advanced customizations, like adding unique features or adjusting the app’s design, our platform offers options for that. Even then, you won’t need to work with code unless you choose to. Our team is always available to help with small design changes and optimizations at every step, and we can provide guidance for bigger changes and new functionality.
For developers or those with a technical team, we offer a remote dashboard where you can control your app's configuration in detail. We also provide extensive documentation to help with every level of customization, including adding app-specific functionality and modifying how existing site features display in the app.
No – the apps will update automatically whenever you publish anything new! There is little to add to your existing workflow, just keep doing what you're doing, easy like that!
Our service creates a fully custom app by turning everything from your website (your unique design, vendors, plugins, apps, and custom element) into a mobile app.
This means the app is inherently custom without needing to rebuild or recreate everything using native code, which can be expensive, inflexible, and slow to update.
With MobiLoud, your app maintains all the uniqueness of your website, and we add the native app functionality that your site doesn't provide.
Plus, our team works with you on making optimizations and improvements to ensure your app feels just like a typical native app, without the inefficiencies and costs that come with building one from scratch.
We use code to make changes to your existing mobile web layout to simplify the website experience when it’s powering the mobile app.
This allows us to achieve the same level of design and user experience that a native app provides, without rebuilding from scratch on a different code base, which is typically what is done with custom native app development.
It will take very little work to keep your app running.
The app is designed to sync automatically with your website, meaning any updates or changes you make to your site (whether it's new content, design updates, or adding new features) are instantly reflected in the app.
This eliminates the need to manage the app separately. Essentially, by maintaining your website, you're also maintaining your app at the same time.
In addition to this automatic syncing, we provide ongoing support to ensure everything runs smoothly. If any issues arise, or if you need help with updates or adjustments, our team is always available to assist.
You also have access to a dashboard where you can control app-specific features (like push notifications or app settings) without needing technical knowledge. If you're not comfortable managing these aspects, our team is always available to handle it for you.
Overall, the app requires minimal effort to keep running, allowing you to focus on your website while enjoying the benefits of both a fully functional mobile app, always up to date.
Yes, you can configure the notifications to go out automatically as a response to specific events, including new content getting published. You can also send notifications manually whenever you wish.
Our WordPress plugins and Shopify apps provide this functionality for you, so there's nothing for your team to build.
If your site doesn't run on WordPress or Shopify, but rather uses any popular web stack, you'll be able to easily connect to Onesignal's REST API to trigger notifications for any event.
No, you can send as many as you like! You can integrate notifications with your website (we do that for you with our plugin if you're on WordPress or Shopify) to send them automatically or send them manually. We rely on Onesignal to send notifications and you'll have full control of your own Onesignal account. They have excellent documentation if you want to integrate their API in your web application.
Building and managing an app with MobiLoud is incredibly simple.
The process requires minimal time and effort on your part. You’ll only need to spend around 5-10 hours on the initial setup. This includes providing essential assets like logos and images, registering your Apple and Google accounts and answering a few questions to help us understand your needs.
From there, we take care of everything. Our team handles building the app, optimizing it for iOS and Android, and submitting it to the App Store and Google Play. You don’t need to worry about the technical steps.
Once the app is live, managing it is even easier. Your app is linked directly to your website. Any updates you make to the site (whether it's content, design, or functionality) automatically sync to the app.
There’s no need to update the app separately. You can focus on maintaining your website, and the app will stay up-to-date automatically.
With MobiLoud, you get the benefits of a native app with minimal ongoing effort.
We work closely with you from the start to guide you through promoting your app and ensuring it’s a success.
Our team helps implement site changes that can drive downloads, such as adding smart app banners and buttons to key areas of your website.
We'll also provide you with a full strategy to promote your app effectively to your existing audience.
This includes tactics like:
Once these are executed, we see our customers adding thousands of app users every single month and eventually generating 15-25% of their revenue from their mobile apps.
Yes, we can definitely show proof that your app will boost your revenue. Many of our clients report significant improvements in key metrics after launching their apps with MobiLoud.
For example, Rainbow Apparel saw a 7X increase in mobile customer lifetime value, a 10% boost in average order value, and a 2X increase in mobile conversion rate after launching their app. Similarly, Sleefs experienced a 30% increase in average order value, 3X more visits per user, and a 40% rise in conversion rate after switching to MobiLoud.
Some clients have even seen an 80-100x return on investment from their app. Push notifications are a key driver of these results. They help engage users and keep them coming back regularly, which leads to more repeat sales and higher customer lifetime value.
Our case studies clearly show how businesses like yours can benefit from launching a mobile app. By offering a more convenient way for your most loyal customers to interact with your brand, an app can drive more engagement, increase sales, and grow revenue over time.
We work closely with you to ensure your app is successfully promoted once it’s live.
Our team provides ongoing guidance and helps you implement proven strategies that drive downloads and engagement.
With our help, you can maximize your app’s potential and turn it into a major driver of sales and customer loyalty.
We've seen this work again and again with hundreds of customers and can confidently say these tactics and strategies will generate results, which we can guarantee.
Here are some of the most effective ways to promote your app:
- Smart app banners on your website (these let visitors know the app is available and encourage them to download it directly).
- Email marketing and SMS campaigns (you can include download links in order confirmation emails, promotional messages, and newsletters).
- Add download prompts in key places on your website, such as the footer, product pages, and checkout process.
- Include app download links in order confirmation pages and emails to target customers who have just made a purchase.
- Offer a welcome discount for new app users (a common strategy is offering a 10% discount to first-time app users to encourage downloads).
- Use push notifications to keep your customers engaged and bring them back to the app. Push notifications can be used to promote special offers, new arrivals, and exclusive deals available only through the app.
We help you implement these strategies and customize them to fit your business.
Our goal is to make sure your app is not just a tool but an essential part of your customer engagement and growth strategy.
Switching from an existing app to MobiLoud is very easy. We ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption to your business and no impact on your app users.
The new app is delivered as an update to your existing app, so your customers won’t have to download anything new. They will simply receive the updated app when it goes live, ensuring no interruptions in their experience.
To make this transition even easier, we offer a special deal for businesses switching from competitors. We waive all setup fees and provide a discount equivalent to what you're paying them, so you're not paying double during the transition, if there's any overlap.
Most customers save 20% to 50% by migrating over to MobiLoud from their existing vendor.
Our team handles the technical aspects of the switch, including building and submitting the new app to the App Store and Google Play. You can expect a high level of hands-on service and support throughout the process, for a hassle-free migration. Everything is done for you by your team, and it's just a matter of weeks to get your new app live.
By switching, you’ll benefit from a platform designed to save you time and money while offering a more powerful, flexible mobile app solution.
An ecommerce app can improve your sales by:
An ecommerce app can improve customer loyalty and retention through a dedicated, more convenient experience from your most loyal customers, exclusive in-app promotions, exclusive product drops, and push notifications that keep customers engaged.
Our data shows that apps significantly improve customer retention rates. App users come back more often, spend more time, purchase more and more frequently than the average website visitor.
Developing an app with an agency can cost around $250,000 for the initial build, with ongoing expenses of at least $150,000 a year. Building a custom app in-house is even more expensive, often costing $500,000+ a year, assuming a small team dedicated to the app (developers, designers, UX, product managers).
Using an ecommerce-specific mobile app builder (Tapcart, Plobal, Shopney) can cost between $400 to over $15,000 a month, when revenue-based fees are factored in.
It’s quite different with MobiLoud. For our typical ecommerce customers, building mobile apps will cost between $299 a month to $3,500 a month (for our corporate customers). Our typical ecom customer spends $549/month for their mobile app, with no additional revenue-based fees. Exact pricing depends on the number of active users on the app.
If you’re a DTC brand over a million dollars a year, the ROI from a MobiLoud app is a no-brainer.
Your loyal customers already love your brand, and giving them a direct shortcut to your app on their home screen makes it even easier for them to engage.
Push notifications bring them back for new offers, launches, promotions, driving repeat purchases, increased engagement, and bigger lifetime value.
Your app puts your brand front and center, keeping customers coming back more often.
The improved experience, combined with better conversion rates, quickly turns into higher revenue.
And because MobiLoud is so cost-effective, most brands see the app pay for itself in the first month. If you’ve got a strong following, a mobile app can be the ultimate loyalty booster, bringing customers back again and again.
MobiLoud is more than a no-code app builder, it’s a fully managed service that converts your existing website into a mobile app. The process starts by an onboarding call with your customer success manager, then our team configures the app to mirror your website’s content, design, and functionality. This setup requires no coding or work on your end, as we handle everything for you.
As part of this initial set up, we apply small optimizations to improve the app’s user experience, making adjustments like removing elements that don’t work well on mobile, and adding native app features like navigation bars. You’ll be able to review and manage your app through the MobiLoud dashboard, where you can push updates to app pages, customize settings, and view analytics.
If you want to further customize the app experience, your developers can use conditional code to detect app users and deliver a different experience from what’s available on the web. This flexibility allows you to create app-only features, pages, or unique designs.
Our service handles the end-to-end process, from setup to app store submission, so you can launch your app quickly and cost-effectively, with the confidence that it will be approved by both Apple and Google.
MobiLoud is a software solution and a service to turn your website into a mobile app that leverages your existing mobile site and its functionality and design. We build your mobile app by combining your website with our native elements for navigation, push notifications, and other app-specific functionality.
We don't offer custom development services, but your web development team can make any sort of change and build any sort of experience in your mobile app by simply building it on the web and using a few lines of code to identify the app and create a specific app-only experience.
As part of our service, our team implements small tweaks to your website for a better experience when it's loaded within your app. This includes removing site footers, widgets or pop-ups, or elements that don’t offer a good mobile experience or aren’t allowed in mobile apps. We handle these changes using our experience from publishing over 2,000 apps to ensure a smoother in-app experience and get your app approved on both Apple and Google stores.
After your app is live, we’re also happy to make similar small changes based on your feedback and requests. However, we don’t offer custom web or app development or extensive modifications of your site's design, beyond what's described above.
Our platform, though, is highly flexible, and there's no limitation to what you can achieve with just web development. You can build almost any app functionality, provided that you can find a solution to build that experience on the web.
We provide documentation to help your web development team or agency to implement app-only features, pages, or unique app experiences.
MobiLoud offers a risk-free way to get your mobile app built and verified before making any payment. Our 30-day trial period is designed to give you enough time to see your fully functioning app and decide if it meets your needs. During this time, our team works to build your app, submit it to the stores, and get it ready for release to your users.
We handle all technical aspects while you verify that everything works exactly as you want. The trial includes full app development, store submissions, and comprehensive support - essentially everything needed to get your app approved and ready for release.
Our trial is structured around two key milestones in your app's journey to launch.
The first is when you're satisfied with your approved app and decide to release it to users - at this point, payment becomes due even if it's before the 30 days.
The second is at the 30-day mark if you want to continue using our service, regardless of whether you're ready to release. At this point, you will have already seen the app, so you can make a decision.
This structure ensures you have time to verify everything works perfectly while maintaining project momentum. If payment becomes due, you'll be charged both the setup fee for your chosen plan and your first subscription period (monthly or annual).
During the 30-day trial period, you have full freedom to evaluate the app we build for you and decide if it meets your needs. If at any point during the trial you're not happy with how the app works or decide it's not the right solution for you, you can cancel without any charges or further commitment.
The trial gives you access to our complete app development service. Our team handles everything needed to transform your website into a fully-featured mobile app. This includes the technical development work, configuring push notifications, handling store submissions, and providing launch guidance.
You get full access to all features of your chosen MobiLoud plan, including our technical support team who will guide you through the entire process. The goal is to give you a complete picture of how your app will work and perform before you make any financial commitment.
Yes! Store submission is a key part of our trial period because we want you to see your app fully approved and ready for release before making your decision. We handle the entire submission process to both Apple's App Store and Google Play while you're still in the trial period.
This means you can get your app through the review process, see it approved, and test the final store version before deciding to release it to your users. While store approval doesn't guarantee your app will be accepted (as this depends on meeting store guidelines), our experience helps ensure your app is properly prepared for submission.
While we handle the technical aspects of building your app, your involvement is crucial for a successful and timely launch.
The 30-day timeline to launch is achievable when we work together effectively.
We need your team to complete onboarding quickly, provide access to necessary accounts (Apple Developer, Google Play, OneSignal, Google Analytics), and be available for important decisions.
For ecommerce apps, we'll need your help testing the complete purchase flow since this often involves your specific payment systems and backend processes.
Quick feedback on app builds helps us maintain momentum, and having decision makers available ensures we can move forward efficiently at each stage.
Our payment structure is designed to be straightforward and transparent.
When payment becomes due - either when you decide to release your app or at the 30-day mark if continuing - you'll be charged both the setup fee for your chosen plan and your first subscription period (monthly or annual).
The setup fee covers the intensive work of configuring your app and getting it through store approval, while the subscription ensures ongoing support and maintenance.
These fees are clearly outlined in your plan selection and only apply when you're ready to move forward with your app.
Because we provide a free trial that lets you see our team at work and get a preview of the final app that will go live on the stores, all payments are final, with no options for refunds.
The 30-day trial period is fixed to help maintain project momentum and ensure efficient app delivery. This helps both teams stay focused on the goal of getting your app ready for launch.
While app store approval times and development needs vary, we've found that 30 days provides sufficient time to build, verify, and make an informed decision about your app.
Ideally, we can get the app approved and released within this time frame. But often times that is not possible.
The goal of the trial is to give you the opportunity to fully test working with our team and seeing your app in a working, final version. This will definitely be possible and allow you to get a complete picture of how our service works, making a final purchase decision about it.
If you need more time after the trial to finalize your app, you can continue development as a paying customer, ensuring you have the support needed to perfect your app.
Based on our experience launching hundreds of successful apps, we've developed an optimal timeline that makes the most of your 30-day trial. The first few days focus on onboarding and setup, followed by 1-2 weeks of intensive development. Week 3 typically involves testing and refinements, leading to store submission. The final week allows for store review and your final verification.
This timeline ensures you can see your completed app and make an informed decision within the trial period. While every project is unique, this structure has proven successful for many of our clients.
We don't offer refunds once payment is made (either at release decision or at 30 days). This policy exists because substantial work goes into getting your app built and approved. That's precisely why we offer the trial period - it gives you time to thoroughly evaluate the app before making any financial commitment.
This is also why we encourage comprehensive testing during the trial period and are happy to address any concerns before you make your decision to proceed.
