Macaly is not only a website builder. It can be used to build both standard websites and functional web applications.
You can start with a simple idea and expand the project step by step with new pages, views, forms, a database and other functions.
Company website
Macaly can be used to build a company website with a home page, services, pricing, contact information, forms and other content pages the company needs.
Create a modern website for an HVAC company. I need a home page, services, references and a quote request form.
Landing page and campaign page
Macaly is also suitable for pages built around a single goal, such as a product launch, campaign, event or lead generation.
Portfolio and personal website
You can build a portfolio for a photographer, designer, consultant or other professional, for example.
Forms and collecting information
You can build forms that collect information entered by users. The information can be used, for example, for contact requests, registrations or functions within a web application.
Booking and appointment solutions
Macaly can be used to build booking-related interfaces and database-backed solutions according to the needs of the project.
Create a booking view where the user selects a service, date and available time. Add an admin view for reviewing bookings.
Customer portal
A web application can include a customer portal where the user can see information and functions that belong to them.
Depending on the project, the portal can include login, the user’s own projects, documents, messages or other customer-specific information.
Dashboards and admin views
Macaly can be used to build interfaces where information is shown in tables, cards and different views.
Create an admin dashboard where the most important figures are shown at the top, with the latest customers and projects below them.
Database-backed web application
Macaly has a built-in database solution that can be used to store and process project data.
The database can be used for things such as form submissions, users, bookings, subscribers, content and admin views.
Public website and application in the same project
A project can contain both public marketing and content pages and the actual web application views.
For example, a SaaS service can have a public home page and pricing page as well as a separate application behind a login.
Redesign an existing website
An existing website can be used as the starting point for a new project. You can give Macaly the address of the old website and explain what you want to keep and what you want to redesign.
What is Macaly not?
Macaly is intended for building websites and web applications. It is not WordPress, and WordPress themes or plugins are not installed in it.
It is also not primarily a tool for building native iOS or Android applications or desktop applications.
If a project requires a specific external service, payment system or integration, availability should be checked for that project. Integrations shown by other Macaly brands may not necessarily be
included in every Domainhotelli plan.
Start with a simple version
Especially when building a web application, it is usually best to start with the most important use case and add features step by step.
For example:
1. Build the login and the most important view first.
2. Add the required data fields and forms.
3. Test saving and displaying data.
4. Add the next features one at a time.
5. Finish the user interface once the most important functions are working correctly.
Good to remember
Macaly is best suited to projects that run in a web browser. The more clearly you can describe the users, views and required functions, the easier it is to build the project step by step.
