App development tools

App development tools: The Layout Manager

The Layout Manager gives easy control over the layout of the application to Users logged on with the correct level of security.

The Site view gives you a live clickable site map and access to all the development tools. Structural Pages and Components can be added, deleted and renamed and you can control individual page and section behavior. You can click and drag pages and sections to new positions in the site and clearString will retain all the page associations, graphics, links and relationships and automatically fix-up the navigation. Data based application development is fast, powerful and simple.

Online development tools
clearString - neatComponents app development tools are different. It isn't just a web-based GUI for manipulating grid-form database structures. In fact, you never see the 'database' at all.

clearString app development tools are a complete toolbox of encapsulated components for creating and managing all sorts of app development from a simple single-pager to the most sophisticated e-commerce or data-management application. It is fully integrated and installs from a single download. Components always work - there is no debugging thousands of lines of code and you never have to worry about interpreting code when staff turnover.

Don't sweat the hard stuff - clearString app development tools have already done it

There is no coding, no programming but clearString app development tools are still fully flexible - without requiring creative compromises. It is not a template system. There is an unlimited ability to make back-end changes, create forms, use queries, & create site designs, and database management is fully integrated.

What more could you want?

Let your existing clients update their own apps, whilst you work with new ones

It's always more profitable - and fun - to be working on new projects, but existing clients need constant attention too. clearString web development tools allow you to let clients make changes to their apps themselves. It protects them from the technical aspects like HTML, CSS, and SQL and also from inadvertently destroying templates and site furniture.

What's more, the increased immediacy and control clearString web development tools give them over the app enables you to sell this aspect as a premium feature. This allows you to effectively charge them for making changes to their own app. Meanwhile, you can concentrate on new clients, and new revenue streams. 

And always get paid on time

Your clearString web development tools doesn't just provide an editing interface, but also runs the hosting too. So it knows how busy apps are, and can run charging plans for you: you can charge flat-rate monthly amounts, or be creative and charge in proportion to site usage (a good plan, since sites tend to get busier over time).

An Accounts Console gives a birds-eye view of your business with a Summary of all Accounts by Month, showing the individual account Status with Invoices, Payments and Balance figures - all automatically generated and tied into an online payment system.

The clearString app development tools keep track of all this, and emails your clients when they owe you money, allows them to pay online, into your PayPal or similar account, and if they don't pay, encourages them to do so by suspending their site. All this without you having to lift a finger.

No awkward phone calls, no excuses.
