    An introduction to website apps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    We often use the term ‘website app’ to refer to a very simple type of application. In most cases, website apps are very similar in functionality to regular mobile pages. The difference is since we’re talking about a full-blown app, you get access to features regular sites often don’t offer<\/a>, such as built-in notifications (although it’s possible to add those nowadays!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Website apps are particularly popular among news sites and other content-heavy types of projects. For example, there are apps for BBC News, Reuters, Forbes, the Financial Times and many others:<\/p>\n\n\n

    You may be questioning why you’d go through the trouble of learning how to convert a website to an app so that users can read your content. It’s a good question with three different answers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. App users are more likely to stick around and read more content, instead of jumping to another browser tab.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Mobile apps enable you to tap into functionality such as push notifications<\/a> and recurring subscriptions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Having your own website app is pretty cool!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Of course, building an app isn’t something you can just do in a day. Mobile apps can be quite complex and expensive. However, this is where WordPress plugins come to the rescue.<\/p>\n\n\n

      <\/div>\n\n\n\n

      Three WordPress plugins that let you convert website to app<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      In this section, we’ll introduce you to three of our favorite plugins for building simple mobile apps from your WordPress website. Keep in mind that while these plugins are very good, they can only help you build relatively simple apps. If you’re looking to create something with complex functionality, you’ll need to call on an expert<\/a>, and develop it as you would any other piece of tech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
