Approximate read time: 5 minutes
It's estimated that 70% of new applications will use low-code or no-code technologies.
Not in 10 years, not even in 5 years. But this year. Software development has become more user-friendly, and people use it to create everything from mobile apps to entire web apps—with no coding knowledge.
And if you're ready to do the same, Formidable Forms has the perfect answer for you: its low-code WordPress application builder.
Whether you're creating a job board, real estate directory, or recipe database, Formidable helps you save time, cut costs, and turn your WordPress site into a full web app. No code development platforms involved.
Let's dive in to see how this low-code web app builder works.
Meet your new web Application Organizer
Managing a web app with multiple forms, Views, and pages can get messy... quickly.
And that's why we created the Application Organizer. This simple feature helps you keep everything in one place for easy reference.
Want to see all of your applications in one place? That's easy. But then you can dive deeper to see the different forms attached and what Views show your information and quickly make any changes.
Imagine you're building a directory or scheduling app. Instead of tracking down individual pieces, the Application Organizer bundles them for you.
Need to move it to another site? Export the entire application — no stress, no missed details.
The easiest way to stay on top of things is to simplify them. Formidable does exactly that so you can save time and focus on what matters most: delivering value to your users.
Low-code customization with Formidable Views
Not every app is the same. And that's where Formidable excels.
Its Visual Views feature lets you take your raw form data and turn it into beautiful (but functional) apps tailored to your audience.
Think of it as a shortcut to innovation. Visual Views is the tool to make it happen, whether you need a sleek real estate directory that updates with new listings in real-time or a restaurant app to show the menu and take reservations.
But how can this help you?
- Save time on development: Don't build from the ground up. Instead, use Views to build something in minutes. No PHP. No custom scripts.
- Bring your vision to life: Build grids to showcase products, create tables for schedules, or develop calendars to track events.
- Respond to customer needs instantly: Tweak and expand your app to adapt to customer feedback.
- Impress without stress: You don't have to be a developer to get professional results. And Formidable helps you impress clients, customers, or even employees.
And that's before you even consider the extra features it offers to make your web app even more powerful.
Application builder templates to save time
Why spend hours building an app from scratch when there are templates to do it for you?
Designed for common needs like business hours, schedules, and FAQs, these templates come with forms, Views, and pages to get you started in a few minutes.
For example, the Business Hours template includes a form and two views that work together. Visitors can instantly see if you're open with the "Open Now" View or check detailed hours with the "Open Hours" View.
Once it's installed, let's look at that application’s page. It shows all the pieces and how they are linked together.
Application templates save you time and make the entire process more enjoyable.
The best part is that it's fully customizable. You don't need to learn HTML; it's ready for any changes you'd like to make.
Effortless embedding for beginners and experts
Embedding your web app shouldn't feel like a technical hurdle. In our opinion, it should only take a few clicks.
You can visually embed the forms and Views using a simple Gutenberg block editor or a shortcode for simple design tools. Either way, your app is live, and you don't need any technical knowledge to get it up and running.
Advanced filtering for custom experiences
Your users expect apps that are easy to use, whether they adapt to their needs or simply have a good user experience.
And that's where Formidable's Advanced Filtering feature can help.
It allows you to show content dynamically using flexible AND/OR conditions. For example, you can create a job board that filters listings by location and job type or a membership directory that shows content based on user roles.
That means you can design any custom application based on your specific needs.

Looks really interesting, can't wait to try it out
That's very cool. It was awkward exporting and importing the different parts individually before.
I love this concept. I have at least one customer with 10 different, complex forms that until now appeared to be unrelated but are not. By tying them all together under an application, I can now see them as a cohesive unit while not muddying the waters with simpler forms such as their simple contact form or an unrelated donation payment form. Very nice!
Well done.
This is exceedinly useful. Having all the parts of an application in one place is makes working the the application much easier. No more searching through the forms, the views and the pages. to find what you are looking for.
This is a great additional and has the potential to become a market where we can offer and buy applications for various purposes. This can save us a lot of time.
