How to create an app like Noon

On the dashboard, click on the layout tab from the left menu.

Click on the ‘Create Layout’ icon as we’re making an app from scratch.

Clicking on “Create Layout” will open a popup. Name the app 'Noon' in the popup and click 'Create'

Now, you’ll be asked to choose a layout. Swipecart allows you to select pre-made layouts or make one from scratch. As we’re making a new app, click on ‘Blank Layout’.

You’ll be taken to your layout dashboard with the default tab “Theme Settings”. The primary function of “Theme Settings” is to customize the app's look. It has multiple options to set branding elements for your app.

Let’s start with the App Bar Settings

App Bar Settings-Here, you can customize the app bar that remains constant wherever you go on the app. To know what you can do with this, click here.

Next, customize the look of the side menu, bottom bar, user profile page, and input style (welcome/sign-in page). For all these, go to the respective tabs on the left menu. A set of readymade templates are available for each. Select an option from the variants and save it to the app.

Theme style settings- Here, you can manage and edit the fonts, colors, and app loaders for a universal app usage experience. To know more about this, click here.

Here’s what the draft app would look like after these settings.

Let's begin adding content to the home page now. Click on the "Home" tab next to "Theme Settings". A blank home screen layout with the app bar and bottom bar is displayed.

Swipecart has pre-coded UI components turned into visual widgets. We drag and drop these inside the home screen. Let's see how it is to be done to create the Noon app. Know more on widgets here.

Single Banner-You can use single banners to highlight important messages such as offers, sales, new launches, and discounts to your customers. To add it to the home screen, select "Single Banner" from the drop-down widget list.

Place one style variant on the app's home screen. Click here for more information on single banners.

Upon hovering on the widget on the draft home page layout, you’ll see the ‘Add/Edit Content’ option. Here, you can add the images and links you’d want to showcase. For more information regarding this, click here.

After you’re done, you’ll find an ‘Edit Style’ option upon hovering on the completed Single banner. Here, you can customize the banner and preview the changes you made.

Click here to know how to edit the widget style.
