Choose your own venture

Feed Growth | By Maggie Hunsucke

“Here’s how it works: SwebApps separates and corrals app potentials by industry. Choose from restaurant, retail, business, non-profit, education, entertainment, government, or custom. Next, pick buttons for your app’s interface. SwebApps provides a menu of common buttons that correspond with your industry. For example, if you’re restaurateur, you can add a reservations button, a menu button, nightly specials button, etc. SwebApps pricing structure is actually based on the number of buttons you choose- $200 for two buttons, $300 for 6 buttons, and $400 for 8. There’s also a one-time set-up fee of $50 per button, and if you choose, a $25/month mobile hosting fee for your data.”
