How To: Get Your Own Custom iPhone App for $25
iSites is one of a handful of companies that are offering services that let you build iPhone apps quickly in minutes.
Ben Parr wrote about this yesterday over at Mashable:
iSites, a new service launching today, allows you to take your website’s RSS feed and data and quickly transform it into a full-fledged iPhone app. It was created by Genwi, a service that combines aspects of RSS reader, social network and news filter.
The product is very straightforward: For just $25, iSites will create a customized iPhone and Android app for you (note: android apps will publish starting in February). The first step is to add some of your feeds. The primary one should be your blog or an RSS feed, but you can also add your Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, Posterous, Tumblr and other social feeds into your app.
After you’ve added your feeds, you can then customize the app’s look and feel. The header image, colors and menu are all customizable. Once you have that information, along with app store information such as your icon and your store banner, you just have to click a button to publish your app onto the iPhone and Android app stores.
Want to monetize your app? That’s no problem, either: For $99, you can integrate your app with AdMobadvertising. That’s a pretty good deal, especially if you expect to get a fair number of downloads and uses.
Here we meet with the founders of the company who tell us how iSites is different from their competitors and how a variety of newspapers is already using their service.
