Joomla is an open-source PHP content management system with a large extensions directory; sites are installed on your own hosting and use responsive templates such as the default Cassiopeia. We wrap your published Joomla website into real App Store and Google Play apps – no coding, delivered within 72 hours, full source code included.
Joomla powers community sites, associations, schools and business websites that already have members, articles and extensions in place. Rather than rebuilding those features natively, a WebView app wraps your live Joomla site, so extensions, user groups and menus behave exactly as on the web. The result is a branded app in the stores with push notifications, maintained entirely through the Joomla administrator you already use.
Your app behaves like a full-screen browser for your Joomla website: every change you publish on Joomla is live in the app immediately – no app update required. Native features such as push notifications, an offline screen, native dialogs and smart link handling are added on top.

Re-engage users with OneSignal push messages – or trigger local notifications from your own JavaScript.
Instead of browser errors, users see a branded offline screen with a "Try again" button.
AdMob banners and interstitials, in-app purchases and native sharing dialogs are supported.
Make sure your website is live on a public URL (ideally your own domain) and looks good on a phone screen – that URL is what we wrap.

A few platform-specific tips from our App Specialists for the best result:
Built on WebViewGold.

Yes. Joomla’s session-based login works in the app like in a mobile browser, including user groups and access levels. Members log in once and stay logged in between app sessions. Social login plugins that rely on third-party pop-ups may need a quick check during setup.
No. The app loads your existing site, so no extension or template change is required. For push notifications we use OneSignal inside the app, which does not depend on Joomla. You simply send us your URL, logo and colours, and we build the iOS and Android projects.
Yes, immediately. The app displays your live site, so new articles, menu changes and extension updates are visible without resubmitting the app. Even upgrading Joomla to a newer version does not affect the app, provided the domain stays the same.
Converting one platform (iOS or Android) is a one-time fee of $698; the iOS + Android bundle costs $1,158 (you save $238). The optional App Publishing Service is $318 per platform. Payment is handled securely by Stripe (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay). Prices exclude VAT.
The complete Xcode project (iOS) and/or Android Studio project including signed APK/AAB files and keystore (Android), plus a step-by-step quick start guide for the App Store and Google Play submission. The apps are built on the WebViewGold template, so you keep the full, editable source code.
Store approval depends on the content of your app, and most WebView apps based on a responsive, app-like website pass review. If Apple or Google rejects your app for non-content reasons, we offer a full refund of the setup fee when you claim it within 14 days after purchase – see our Terms and Conditions.
