Welcome to our very first no-code tool introduction feature. This is the first piece in a series of tool introductions that will give you a look under the hood of some of the world’s leading no-code platforms.
Today, we’re shining a light on Adalo, the beloved no-code app builder platform that takes the hassle out of creating streamlined, visually engaging mobile apps.
Say goodbye to overly complex, time-sapping software development projects - Adalo is here to save the day.
What is Adalo?
In Adalo’s own words, building apps can be “scary, slow and expensive” - but it doesn’t have to be.
Adalo is a no-code platform designed to enable the creation of powerful bespoke applications with minimal need for hard coding.
Adalo apps are built on code but with a user-friendly drag-and-drop front-end interface, meaning your app can be built quickly, easily and beautifully.
With Adalo’s visual building tool making light work of mapping the user’s journey through your app, and designing the various pages that comprise this journey, this is your fast pass to the custom-built app you didn’t know you had the budget to bring to life.
Let’s take a look at some of the many components that make your app idea possible with Adalo:
Lists: organise information and imagery into clean, user-friendly list formats, with simple lists, card lists, image grids and other options
Payments: thanks to Adalo’s Stripe integration, you can manage one-off and recurring customer payments within your bespoke app
Forms: with field and input options including text, numbers, drop-downs, calendars and more, you can design your form your way
Charts: data visualisations are a piece of cake with Adalo’s chart components. Translate real-time user data into dynamic dashboards
Navigation: seamless navigation is vital in any app, and Adalo’s customisable nav bars help users get from A to B and beyond with ease
Buttons, text, images and more: enjoy visual freedom with shapes, icons, images, buttons and text options galore for your app
Why use Adalo?
Besides being dramatically faster and significantly less expensive than building your mobile app via the traditional software development route, Adalo also proves its worth by way of feature and integration options galore, a time-saving component marketplace, integrated databases and quick and easy logic setup.
But that’s not all.
If you’re wondering what’s possible with Adalo, here’s a sneak peek at some of the dynamic actions made possible with this no-code tool:
Linking pages: connect pages within your Adalo app to create a cohesive journey, and make use of customisable animation options
Push notifications: set up and enable push notifications targeting specific users based on identified trigger conditions or actions
Login and permissions: create varying user permissions levels and allow personal logins for users to interact with your app within set parameters
Creating and updating data: enable the continuous, real-time updating of your databases following specified user actions
Native device actions: give your app the power to communicate with native devices, including access to users’ cameras, photo libraries and more
Zapier integrations: integrate your app with Zapier, the ultimate workflow automator, to trigger actions in third-party applications galore
How we’re harnessing Adalo in no-code projects
By working with a no-code development partner like NoCode Labs, you can benefit from the speed, ease and affordability of codeless app development without having to lift a finger on the build.
We’re fully versed in Adalo’s boundless functionality and have turned to this powerful app building tool for various no-code projects to date.
Here are just some of the ways we’ve harnessed Adalo’s dynamic features to create custom apps for our clients:
Business OKR progress tracking: we created a bespoke performance tracking app allowing users of varying permissions levels to record and monitor progress against a range of defined objectives and key results (OKRs). With aggregated progress for top-level objectives based on progress against the key results associated with each objective, this app makes light work of assessing performance in relation to the goals that matter most
Online services booking: we’re building a user-friendly app for dog owners designed to enable easy online bookings of everything from dog grooming and training services to daycare boarding and more. With the ability to set maximum capacity numbers by calendar date and price adjustments for select dates, Adalo made this online booking app effortlessly customisable
Lead gen content download: we built a multipurpose platform for in-app appointment bookings, complete with a content download feature. This allowed for lead-generating email capture in exchange for user access to exclusive content, using Adalo’s suite of dynamic actions to refine these processes
TL;DR: Adalo makes custom app development faster, cheaper and more accessible, with component, feature and action options galore to bring your problem-solving concept to life for your users.
At NoCode Labs, we have the in-house design and development skills to maximise the potential of platforms like Adalo for your business.
