A WordPress for creating mobile applications

Just as no self-respecting company should neglect its online presence or underestimate the usefulness of having a website, it is hard to imagine a brand of any weight that has not developed its own mobile application. The democratisation of web development has its greatest exponent in content management platforms such as WordPress, which, thanks to its modules and templates, reveal the magic of computing to people without any knowledge of programming languages. The startup from Lleida, King of App, has set out to do the same with mobile applications.

Who are we talking about?

Xavier Barata saw his opportunity when he was working at an advertising agency, after hearing several clients complain about the difficulties they had in developing their own mobile application. In 2014, he launched King of App, an open source tool that allows users to build applications intuitively for 50 euros. The price, a decisive factor in his solution, is the result of a modular management system that simplifies the application creation process. “We developed a technology that allows us to reduce costs and production times,” Barata sums up. In addition to allowing users to create it from scratch, his platform allows users to easily convert a website designed with WordPress into an application. This symbiosis is especially interesting if we take into account that three out of five websites in the world are built with this content manager. Integration between different systems is also simplified in his platform, which allows communication between applications via API.
