Getting Started Designing Your App

Summary: This article explains how to swiftly turn your church website into a dynamic mobile app. Upload your logo, choose a layout, and let the builder create a professional app for your congregation.


Before You Begin

  • Have your Church Website URL ready (this is the foundation of your app).

  • Prepare a high-resolution logo file.


Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Enter your Church Website URL.

  • The app will be built based on the design and content of this URL. Don't worry if the site isn't perfect; you can customize the app later in the dashboard.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

  • How do I edit my Church Name?: You cannot edit this yourself in the builder. Please reach out to the Support Team to modify your name and update your custom download links.

  • What happens if I try to exit the builder?: If you attempt to navigate away during the process, a pop-up will appear asking for confirmation to ensure you don't inadvertently lose your progress.

  • Where is my custom app icon?: Custom app icons and shareable download links take some time to be generated after the initial build. They will be available shortly.
