Mobile App Website Inspiration: 20 Application Websites And Tips To Design One
5 Simple Steps to Creating the Best App Websites
Step 1: Choose a Mesmerizing Color Palette
Not everyone will necessarily agree with your idea of what a mesmerizing color palette would be. Maybe you’re not even sure what it should look like. Not a problem. Stick to these 3 simple rules and your selection should be spot on every time:- Your palette should feature colors that immediately attract visitors’ attention.
- Make sure it’s on brand so as not to detract from the message.
- It needs to be visually supportive of the message as well.

Step 2: Feature Crystal-Clear Product Photos and Images
People don’t want clever hints as to what the app looks like. Anytime visitors have to try to figure things out you’ll likely loose them. They want to be able to clearly understand how easy or how difficult using the app will be; and above all how it differs from the other 400 similar ones on the market. Bite for example, clearly displays how the app appears on a smartphone while giving the user a sense of how easy it is to work with.![6](https://www.webdesignerdepot.com/cdn-origin/uploads/2019/11/6.jpg)

Step 3: Give Visitors A Clear Picture Of How The App Works
Showing visitors what an app does is a necessary step, but it’s not enough. You need to show how the app works as well. One of the most effective sales drivers lies in the ability of an app website to allow visitors to imagine themselves as actual users of the app. Video is one of the easiest ways to accomplish this. PeekCalendar’s hero section includes such a video.![10](https://www.webdesignerdepot.com/cdn-origin/uploads/2019/11/10.jpg)

Step 4: Don’t Be Afraid To (Over)Use “White” Space On App Websites
An overly generous use of white space often does more good than harm, while sparse usage can have the opposite effect. Use just enough white space to highlight the main message on the page. Add a little bit more, and you’ll be in great shape. White space makes it easier for visitors to focus on a single message or element, or on several. Curio utilizes a clean, fresh design that makes it ever-so-easy for the eye to focus on what’s most important.![14](https://www.webdesignerdepot.com/cdn-origin/uploads/2019/11/14.png)

Step 5: Use CTA Designs That Will Grab Visitors By The Eyeballs
The very worst thing you can do with a CTA button (with the possible exception of causing it to send a visitor to the wrong place) is to make it hard to locate. The simple fact is, you want to make it virtually impossible to miss and make your visitor feel compelled to click on it. Bright and bold are the operative parameters. The Splitwise CTA button clearly stands out. A visitor will first be drawn to the headline, next to the sub-headline, and the flow naturally extends to the CTA button which is easy to see.![18](https://www.webdesignerdepot.com/cdn-origin/uploads/2019/11/18.jpg)

Conclusion
Follow these 5 surefire steps and you should have little problem creating an app website that’s designed to turn visitors into customers. Your mesmerizing color palette and clean imagery will attract attention. Clearly illustrating what the app does and enabling a potential user to visualize how to work with it keeps visitors engaged. White space helps to make the user experience a pleasant one, and bright bold CTA buttons lead to conversions. It’s important however to remember that the website presentation should be geared to making the intended audience want to use the app. If you really intend to create as many app websites as possible (while avoiding Christmas Every Day or Groundhog Day issues) you might want to check out Be Theme’s gallery of more than 450 customizable pre-built websites. They’re functional and visually impressive, and they have intuitive navigation and everything else you need to create one attention-getting app website after another.
