How to Create Your App from Scratch
Follow this step-by-step workflow every time you build a new app – from first login to submitting for publication.
1. Create a New Application
- Log in to your app builder account.
- Click on Dashboard in the top navigation.
- Click the “Create a new Application” button.
- Type in the name of your application (e.g. “Client Name – Main App”) and click “Create”.
- Next to your new app, click “Manage” to open the project.
Tip: use a consistent naming convention per client so you can manage multiple apps easily.
2. Pick Template, Layout & Localization
- A template window appears – choose the template that best matches your use case (restaurant, e-commerce, booking, radio, community, etc.). The system applies it instantly.
- You’re taken to the Design page with a live virtual device preview.
- Click “Pick a layout” and choose a home layout (grid, list, swipe, tabs, etc.).
- Scroll to Localization settings:
- Set the correct currency.
- Choose the main language.
- Select a font family or upload a custom font if available.
Tip: fix currency/language before adding content – it saves rework later.
3. Brand Your App & Add Features
- Open the Colors tab:
- Apply your primary / secondary brand colors to headers, buttons and icons.
- Optionally add background images to sections.
- Scroll and adjust all color blocks for a consistent look.
- Click Features in the side menu:
- Browse the list and click any feature to add it to your app.
- Add as many features as required (CabRide, Booking, Commerce, Property, Classifieds, Loyalty, Radio, Dating, Smart Ads, etc.).
- Re-order features to define your navigation structure.
- Go to the Application / Customise tab:
- Upload your app icon in all required sizes.
- Configure the back button style.
- Upload a branded splash screen (launch screen).
- Click “See changes” after edits to refresh the preview device.
Tip: build in layers – navigation & layout → features → visual branding.
4. Test, Final Checks & Publication
- Open each feature and perform a realistic test (place a test order, book a time slot, send a form, etc.).
- Check navigation: key actions should be 2–3 taps away from the home screen.
- Go to the Publication tab:
- Enter the store app name and description.
- Fill in categories, keywords, support email and website URL.
- Upload screenshots and any required assets.
- Submit publication details. Our team will use this information to prepare Apple/Google submissions.
- Store reviews can take up to around two weeks, depending on Apple/Google timelines.
Tip: freeze big design changes while the app is in review – push them as updates later.
You can re-use this workflow for every new client app to standardise how you build and launch.
