Yes! The Median.co platform works with all website and web app development platforms. Your app will display your website content as it is displayed in a mobile web browser such as Mobile Safari or Mobile Chrome.

We have many customers who develop their web content using Wordpress, Weebly, Wix, Webflow, Lovable, Base44, Replit and more. Plus Customers who build web applications to deploy as web apps using Microsoft .NET and SharePoint, Salesforce Lightning, Bubble.io.

Most websites will automatically display content within apps created using Median.co automatically. To build highly immersive native apps as a web developer use the Median JavaScript Bridge to add a range of native functionality.

• Change the app status bar color dynamically to match your web content and branding.
• Add native navigation menus such as a native bottom tab bar menu.
• Adjust the device screen brightness when displaying a QR code for other devices to scan.
• Prevent the device screen from timing out and going to sleep when showing long form content for the user to read.

Apps built using Median.co are much more than a wrapper app. The Median.co platform allows you to build an app with advanced native functionality and features. You can add native navigation menus, native push notifications (with OneSignal and other push providers), and incorporate our premium native plugins such as Face ID / Touch ID Biometric authentication, Social Login, QR/Barcode scanner, In-App Purchases, and much more.

When building your app you'll also benefit from the Median.co build platform which has been supported and maintained since early 2014. As iOS and Android changes are released you can rebuild your app using the Median App Studio to maintain compatibility while avoiding the overhead that comes from maintaining your own code base.

All changes made to your website will be reflected immediately in your app similarly to how they are reflected immediately in a standard mobile browser. Native apps built using Median.co obey the same cache headers as a standard browser. If you are experiencing delays seeing your updated website reflected in your app you should verify the cache headers that are being sent by your web server and review potential solutions in our documentation .

There is no cost to build a Median.co Free app. When published to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store your app will display a small "Powered by Median.co" watermark at launch and the JavaScript Bridge  will not be available for advanced integration.

To build a completely white label app with full JavaScript Bridge capabilities a Median.co Professional license can be purchased directly within our Median App Studio on the Licence tab or on our website at https://median.co/pricing .

In addition to the app license, we offer a variety of optional add-ons and services. These include:

• Push Notifications using our integration with OneSignal or through other push notification providers.
• Native Plugins that provide access to a range of device functionality and third-party services.
• A Full-Service Concierge service, where our team handles and completes all app development work to produce a publish-ready app using the Median.co platform.
• An App Store Publishing service, where our team completes all steps that are required to publish your app to the app stores and guarantees successful approval.
• Custom development to extend the Median.co platform to integrate third-party SDKs and add advanced functionality for your specific use case.
• And more!
