How do I connect a website to an app?

I'm currently in the process of creating my own website and I want to be able to connect it to an app so that it is more accessible to people.

    If you’re used to working on websites and web apps, you might think that your iPhone app can connect directly to MySQL but unfortunately that isn’t the case.

    We need a middle layer that sits in between the app and the database which will manage the transactions between them.

    You are not clear on what is it you want to achieve. There are two broad category of methods to do it. By network coding or via a WebView. This is not much of concern, make sure your website is responsive enough to work nicely in mobile devices should be your #1 priority.

    It should be enough to make the website properly responsive, not sure what you mean by "more accessible"? How is paying money to Apple and Google and putting an app in their stores that's displaying a website better than creating a responsive website?

    It's not 100% clear what you are trying to do so I could be barking up entirely the wrong tree... If you want the content to be available from within an app, you have to write your app, and inside it you have a "container" that holds the web page! If you do this it takes a bit of skill as you will need to triple check that there are no external or broken links!

    Please use simple HTML tags and create what you need. Then find some serious Free Web Hosting provider and load your HTML files there with the help of FTP Client (like for example FileZilla). One of these files must be called "index.htm". The last what you need is to let the Google to index your page. This will be done with the help of the link below
