Website to App · iOS & Android
Turn your website into an iOS and Android app.
Turn your website into an iOS and Android app.
A project built around your website.
We build iOS and Android apps with React Native, starting from your existing website. Together we assess which content to retain, which workflows to adapt for mobile and which native features to add. We can also work on the website when needed: the project starts with your requirements, rather than an automatic conversion.
Free evaluation, with no commitment.
Don't have a website yet or need a refresh? We also build and fix websites — so you have everything ready for the app.
I am Filippo Benzi, a freelance web and mobile developer with 20 years of experience. I have worked on iOS and Android apps since 2018, personally following each project from assessment to store submission.

Some organisations AF Project has worked with
A custom project, from website to app
First we define what the app should do and how it connects to the website.
Before we start
- Review smartphone navigation
- Assess login and external services
- Select workflows to use in the app
- Define content and functionality
In the project
- A quote for the agreed scope
- A developer dedicated to the project
- An interface consistent with your brand
- Testing and preparation for store submission
What the service can include
Only what you really need — no unnecessary features
iOS & Android App
A React Native codebase for iOS and Android. We assess web content, APIs and native screens according to the workflows required.
Custom Website
If your current site isn't optimized for app conversion — or you're starting from scratch — we build it, ready to become an app.
Store Publishing
Preparation and submission within the agreed scope. Approval decisions belong to Apple and Google.
Push Notifications
Reach your users directly on their phones with personalized, instant messages — if you need them.
Native Features
Camera, GPS, OCR scanner, QR codes — we integrate only what you really need.
Custom Design
Custom icon, splash screen, and interface for your brand. Native or floating menu — your choice.
Hybrid Solutions
Web content and native components can work together. Architecture depends on authentication, performance and the features required.
Post-Launch Support
Updates and changes are defined in the quote or later agreements. Maintenance, stores and external services need ongoing consideration.
Beyond basic conversion
Native features you can add — only if you need them
Camera & OCR Scanner
Document scanning with automatic text recognition. The operator takes a photo, data appears in your backend in real time.
GPS & Geolocation
Location-based content, interactive maps, find the nearest store or service point.
QR & Barcode Scanner
Product code scanning, quick function access, integration with existing management systems.
Offline Mode
Offline functions require local data and synchronisation design. A website loaded online does not automatically become available offline.
Real cases
Examples of projects we've delivered
Food industry · Web management
HACCP compliance app
We transformed a mandatory document management web portal into an app. Staff access documents from the app, administrators manage online. Pure website to app — simple, effective, no native code needed.
Logistics · Native features
OCR document scanner app
The operator photographs a transport document. The photo is sent to an OCR engine, extracted text appears in the web backend in real time. Hybrid solution: website base + native camera + Node.js backend.

Frequently asked questions
How do you turn a website into an app?
We assess website workflows and choose web content, API integration or native screens. Changing the icon is not enough: login, navigation and behaviour on the phone need testing.
Does the website need to work well on smartphones?
This is important for content loaded from the website. Usability, performance or authentication problems may require work before conversion.
How much does a website-based app cost?
The quote depends on the website, integrations and native features. The initial evaluation is free; development is a paid service. Inclusions, maintenance and external costs are defined in the quote.
Does app content update with the website?
Content loaded from the website can reflect web updates. Native screens, caches and offline data may need synchronisation or a new app release.
Will stores approve the app?
Submission is prepared within the agreed project, but approval depends on Apple and Google review. A simple website replica may require additional features or changes.
Can I add camera, GPS or notifications?
These features are assessed and developed for the project. They need permissions, configuration and testing; they are not automatically included in every conversion.
