How to create an app like Finish Line

Install Swipecart to start using it. It is available on the Shopify app store and WordPress plugin center. You'll be taken to the dashboard after signing up for Swipecart.

On the dashboard, click on "Layouts" in the left menu.

Click on "Create Layout" to create a new layout.

Clicking on “Create Layout” will open a popup. Name the layout "Finish Line". Click on "Create".

You can choose between pre-made layout templates and a blank layout. Since we need to design an app like Finish Line, it is better to select a "Blank Layout". Now, click "Create Layout."

A blank layout with the name Finish Line is formed. For more details about creating layouts on Swipecart, click here.

You'll be taken to the Finish Line layout dashboard with the default tab as "Theme Settings" and the sub-tab as "App Bar Settings". Basically, the theme settings allow you to set the theme and customize it for your brand.

App Bar Settings: Set your branding element on the app bar or the action bar because it stays on the top throughout all pages of your app. Here, we upload the Finish Line logo to customize the app bar.

We then go to Side Menu Settings, Bottom Bar Settings, Profile Page Settings, and Input Style Settings. Here, we select our choice from the style variants and save it to the app.

Theme Style Settings: In this section, we set the theme for the app by changing the app background color and font style & color. Click here to know more about theme style settings on Swipecart.

Here's the draft app with theme customizations completed to match the Finish Line app.

Next, we move on to designing the Finish Line app home screen. Click on the "Home" tab. A blank home screen is displayed with only the app bar and bottom bar.

We add content to the home screen by dragging and dropping style variants of widgets. These are accessible in the drop-down box panel at the right section of your screen.
