- Creating new apps with Showpad Apps v2
- Migrating your v1 apps to v2
As a wise man once said ...
"before anything else, preparation is the key to success."
Design Considerations
It's important to think about a few things up front, such as:
| Content Organization | User Navigation | Development Environment | Deployment Environment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carefully consider how your content should be organized. It should follow a logical granularity. | Give some thought to how users navigate through your app is very important - make sure your app has an effective flow. | Ensure that your development environment is equipped with the right tools. | Be sure to take into account where your Showpad App will be displayed. Will your app look correct in an iframe? Will it be viewed in the Windows Desktop App? |
