Wix Market App - Big Market Opportunity for App Developers
Wix, the online website builder, has just launched a brand new App Market to allow its users to enhance their websites with features. This market is currently composed of 25 widgets but could be enhanced with new features in the weeks and months to come. After the apple store, the android market and some other markets (windows phone, BlackBerry App World ...), this is a new market for application developers.
The potential for developers
We already know, designing applications and putting them on sales on markets can generate significant income. A study by Giga Om has even shown that 40% of mobile application developers earn more than 10,000 € / year. This motivates many developers to look at these markets as the potential is promising.
With nearly 25 million Wix users worldwide, it's a niche market with great potential for developers. Especially since at the moment there are only 25 applications, such as:
Instagram: connect a stream of images
Tumbler: add a blog
DaPulse: add a private forum
Rumble Talk: communicate in real time with site visitors
vCita: integrate a contact form or an appointment book / agenda
Mobile App Developers vs. Web Application Developers
In this article there is a voluntary comparison between the Wix app-market and the app-markets of smart phones. There are notable differences between these platforms:
The market is not the same. For example, on a mobile user will be more willing to play games to spend time in public transport
The technologies are not the same. In the case Wix we speak more readily of HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript
The business model is not the same. Wix applications will all be free but may have extra paid features. Clearly the Wix applications will be premium business model.
The competition is for the moment almost null on Wix
Who is this opportunity for?
All companies or developer
