Despite our blog title, it doesn’t take twelve steps to make an app (the 12 delights come further down just for you, so get those vocals ready). Instead at Builder.ai, we’ve simplified your app-building journey into 4 stages.

The Pre-Design

This stage is the initial brief. The lightbulb moment from you. Your imagination can run wild and brainstorm into the clouds. It’s your moment to shine and make a real difference with your project plan and the best part, you don’t need to know any code or tech to put it together.

The Design

Our clever AI product manager, Natasha can help materialise your idea into a physical concept with our easy-to-use drag-and-drop builder. We have a library of 500+ features and hundreds of templates to suit your requirements.

The Development

Next, our team works around the clock to meet the deadline you’ve set to develop your app. On the off-chance things don't go to plan, our teams keep in touch with regular updates and communication.

The Launch

You can now yell ‘yay’- your app is ready to be launched into mobile app stores. At this stage you can begin taking orders, offering your services and working with your customers directly. Naturally we’re still here for you with maintenance support if and when requested for those little pesky updates along the way - but you’re free to grow!

So why did you mention twelve days? Well, it doesn’t take twelve days to build an app - but you easily define how fast you want the project delivered.

However, in honour of the festive season, we’ve added our own Builder.ai unique twist to the Christmas classic, ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’. We’ve dived into the four stages mentioned above and with some festive humour have made our new top hit.

So get your choir notes out, polish those flutes and join in.
