While publishing an application on the App Store, you are asked to enter the URL of the privacy policy page. Also, the app stores don’t have a separate “how to” section that explains how to use the application. Although app stores have a changelog section, instead of publishing the changelog on a third-party site, you can add a changelog section to your site Another reason why you must own an app website is that if you write and publish posts, your site may get good traffic. If your site receives nice traffic from search engines, your app might get new users without much effort. You can easily and quickly create an app for a website with WordPress CMS and the WordPress themes for apps I’ve shared below.
Best WordPress app themes
Divi
ElegantThemes has launched 100s of layout packs to demonstrate the power of the Divi Builder and the Divi theme. The app layout pack is a perfect option for users who want to launch a website for their app. The pack enables you to create a beautiful app website and it is fully customizable. It ships with free custom-built icons and device mockups. The Divi app layout pack will add a beautiful pricing table, testimonials, ratings, etc to your site. You can use the pack if you don’t want to design and built the app website from scratch. If you don’t want to use the pack, use the Divi builder that ships with the Divi theme to build pages as per your requirements. Divi subscription plan doesn’t force users to use the theme on a single site only. If you build a new app in the future, you can use the Divi theme to build a site for the new app.
Themify Ultra
The Ultra app skin launched by Themify for the Ultra WordPress theme is a great alternative to Divi. It is suitable for users who want to launch a single-page website with CTA buttons, testimonial slider, pricing table, icons, etc, and menus that point to different sections of the home page. You can also add a blog section as Themify Ultra is a multipurpose WP theme. Like Divi, the Ultra theme comes with a drag and drop page builder tool. You can use it on unlimited websites. The websites won’t look the same if you design custom pages using the builder or customize the skin you’re currently using.
Astra
Astra is yet another great WordPress theme for app sites. It doesn’t have its own page builder. Astra is 100% compatible with Elementor and Beaver builder. Astra developers have built starter websites using these two builders and the theme allows you to import the same. You can customize the starter sites as per your requirement or create a new app website using either Elementor or Beaver and the Astra theme. The photo you see above is the screenshot of the AppPlus starter pack which is built using Elementor and Astra. Features of the Astra WP template are – support for multiple site layouts, mobile header, multiple header designs, footer widgets, options to change font/color, etc.
Kadence
Kadence theme is lightweight and fast like Astra. It comes with a header & footer builder tool through which you can create many types of unique headers/footers. It supports multiple page layouts and allows you to create custom button styles. Kadence supports the Elementor page builder. Thus, you can create custom page/post layouts and make the pages of the app website feature rich by adding Elementor buttons, icons, pricing tables, accordions, tabs, etc.
Neve
Neve is a top-rated multipurpose template that you can use a WordPress app theme. Its Elementor booster module adds widgets and features such as team members, progress circle, review box, banner, custom switcher, etc to your site. In addition to the Elementor booster, Neve comes with the header booster and blog booster modules. The theme lets you build a beautiful header and footer for your site. If you don’t want to use Elementor, you can use Gutenberg’s existing module such as buttons, galleries, etc to build a page for your app website. Like other WordPress app themes I’ve covered above, Neve lets users import/customize/use its one-page website demos.
Why Elementor or Beaver? The WordPress Gutenberg editor comes with basic modules/blocks. You’ll have to find and install plugins that add new blocks to Gutenberg. Beaver/Elementor on the other hand, offers many modules. Astra, Kadence, and Neve are fully compatible with the two-page builders. They also support Gutenberg. These three themes support various header/footer layouts and allow you to customize the footer. They and Elementor or Beaver are a match made in heaven. Divi and Ultra are powered by the page builder built by the developers of the two themes. The page builders are powerful. For the proof, see the demos built by the Themify/Divi builders. The 5 templates I’ve shared above are the best WordPress themes for app showcase.
