You don’t all have the budget or the time to develop a Web App from scratch. Developing from scratch may be a solution for all types of web applications, but it will take you much longer.
What is a Web App or SaaS?
The Web App or SaaS (Software as a Service) is an online web tool that allows an organization (company, school or other …) to offer online tools to its members, visitors or customers. These tools can be very varied, such as a reservation system for a hotel, a customer area for a company, an order system for wholesale, a selection form for repair services for a car garage, etc. You use them almost every time when you pay your electricity bill online or when you book a plane ticket.
WordPress in all of this?
WordPress is a CMS (Content Managment System), which as you know allows anyone to freely manage a website after 1-2 hours of getting familiar with it, even for the most inexperienced. It is also very popular with developers and other companies offering web services, so a large number of APIs are available and integrating them into WordPress is an easy task.
Using WordPress will save developers time, because the CMS part will not be natively created. User management, roles, registration are also integrated.
They will be able to focus on the “Web App” part of your website and on the various functional tests.
A simple Web App is often represented by a simple form on your “front office” which will send its data to the “back office” part of your website so that it can be processed. This data can then be viewed by your team, manipulated and then exported in XLS, PDF, XML format for example, the possibilities are limitless.
WordPress allows you to create more complex systems such as booking calendar management, or a subscription manager for example, do not limit your imagination.
