When people or businesses want to turn an idea into an app, the first step is often finding the right developer who truly understands their vision.
But what if you just want to create a prototype like a client portal, an internal tool for your company, or even an app just for fun? What if I told you that you don’t need to be a developer to make one? That’s right. Whether it’s a simple prototype or a fully-functional product, you can build it. All you need is a computer and Zite.
Zite is an AI-powered no-code platform that lets you build a wide range of apps from dashboards to quote calculators. Zite lets you:
⚡️ Create apps with a prompt
🔌 Connect to platforms you already use like Airtable, Google Sheets, and more
🖼️ Embed apps into your website, Notion pages, and more
🗄️ Build databases directly within the platform
🖌️ Fully customize the design of your app
🔒 Add login pages to authenticate users
🌐 Customize your app’s links
How to build an app
Step 1: Define your app’s purpose
Before creating anything, be specific on what you want your app to achieve. Who is it for? What problem does it aim to solve? Is it feasible to create?
Once you have these answers, you’ll be able to write a clear product description of your app. Enter this description as prompt on Zite. Remember to sign up or log in to save your app.
Step 2: Create your user flow
Zite will automatically generate your app based on the best or recommended use case scenario. For apps that aren’t single-page (e.g., websites and dashboards), pages linked from the home screen, such as those seen in the nav bar or footer, will automatically open to a new page when clicked. To add more, simply make a request in the chat box.
Step 3: Edit existing elements
Easily update your app’s buttons, description boxes, images and more using Zite’s selective edit feature. Change the text, outlines, visuals, or links to redirect users where you want.
Step 4: Customize the design
Keep your app on brand or add some personality to it by editing the overall theme or tweaking individual elements. You can quickly add a logo, campaign visuals, and more with a prompt.
Step 5: Deploy or share
Preview your app to test how everything works. When everything’s all set, publish it and share the link or embed it anywhere.
More ways to enhance your app
Connect to a database directly within Zite
For apps that are meant to store data (e.g. a list of authorized distributors or inventory logs) or collect information (e.g. customer support tickets or contact information), you can ask Zite to make a database for you before or after your app has been created.
Connect to an existing app
Already have data in tools such as Airtable or Google Sheets? Zite lets you connect to your existing databases so you can integrate them directly into your app.
Manage access of your app
Control who can view or use your app. If you’d like to restrict access (e.g., to employees, clients, or partners), you can add a user log in page to control who can view or access your app.
Customize your app’s links
Change the default URL to match your branding using a custom domain or pretty link. You can also customize the preview image that appears when your app is shared and add a favicon for a more polished look.
Now that you’ve built your app, you can save time on your workflows. You can easily make updates and see changes in real-time with Zite.
