NEW YORK, Aug. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Wix (Nasdaq:
WIX), a leading global SaaS platform to create, manage and grow an
online presence, today announced the launch of Branded App by Wix,
a native mobile app builder which provides users with the ability
to create and customize their own tailor-made app without a single
line of code. The new addition to the comprehensive platform Wix
provides today allows business owners to seamlessly create a
holistic brand experience for their business with a customized
website, a domain name and now the advantages of owning
a native mobile app.
Wix data indicates store owners using native mobile apps see an
average increase of 162% in transactions per site and fitness
businesses see an average increase of 510% in services booked per
site on mobile. This demonstrates that native mobile apps are
increasingly a key business driver for brands to acquire and
connect with customers, build brand loyalty and ultimately serve as
an additional revenue stream.
Now, with the release of Branded App by Wix, users have ultimate
ownership and creative freedom to create and design their own
native mobile app. Business owners can customize the app icon, the
layout and the content—including product pages, booking services,
forums and groups, chat functions, blogs, push notifications and
more. The app builder supports Wix users with any type of business
spanning fitness, restaurants, stores, blogs, forums and events.
Tools and features from their existing Wix site are automatically
integrated to get the app set up. Activity from both the app and
the site are synced to the Wix dashboard.
"Building my own app with Branded App by Wix has been a total
game changer for my business," said Wix business owner Benji
Beasts, Founder and Fitness Trainer at Core Attack Fitness Club. "I
had to have an app that I could customize to achieve the exact
look, feel and service my members experience when they walk through
my doors. Members use the app everyday—whether it's to book
sessions, buy merchandise or even stream sessions on demand. The
most amazing thing about this app, especially for the time we are
living in, is the place it provides for customers to connect with
me and other members, creating a community experience that keeps
them motivated and coming back for more. No need for a background
in coding, just my passion and my brand."
Branded App by Wix currently provides advanced design
capabilities and Wix will continue to release new features to offer
extended customization and navigation in the coming
months.
"This release is another step in our native mobile app strategy
making sure users can create custom iOS and Android apps as easily
as they create custom websites," said Ronny
Elkayam, SVP of Mobile, App
Market & Strategic Products at Wix. "The Branded App is
a major addition to the Wix offering, enabling business owners to
have another medium to activate their brand. We are happy to equip
any type of business owner or service provider with the native
mobile experience they need to enhance their customers' experience,
grow their businesses and ultimately compete with today's biggest
brands."
Building a branded app is available to Wix users at an
additional cost. Customers of the Wix business owner can download
the app free of charge from the App Store and Google
Play.
