## 3. Insert your website

No coding required. Insert a [Web component](https://docs.pandasuite.com/essentials/components/web/) in full screen. Add your website's URL: your app will be a web view of your site.

You can also create app-specific content using our visual editor PandaSuite Studio and its many components and actions, for example, by creating a native menu or adding an authentication screen.

With the Web component, it's easy to make your app and website communicate through markers, triggers, and actions. Your app becomes a hybrid app, exploring the best of both worlds.

### 4. Test on iOS & Android devices

Download the [PandaSuite Viewer app](https://docs.pandasuite.com/essentials/project-management/test-your-project-with-panda-suite-viewer/) for iOS & Android, log in with your credentials, and instantly test how your app looks.

### 5. Export the app

To export the IPA/APK file, choose the distribution plan that fits your needs: for an iOS & Android mobile app, select the [Single plan](https://docs.pandasuite.com/account/subscription/the-single-plan/). You have a **special price of €495 with one-time payment and one year of updates** for Web to App projects. [Contact us](https://pandasuite.com/contact-sales/) to get this special price.

Then, on your app page in the dashboard, click **Generate** next to **iOS** or **Android**, and set your app's icon and name. Export your app in IPA format (for iOS) or APK/AAB (for Android) using your Apple and Google developer accounts.
