What is ArcGIS Web AppBuilder?

ArcGIS Web AppBuilder is an intuitive what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) application that allows you to build web apps without writing a single line of code. It includes tools to configure fully featured HTML apps. As you add your map and tools, you can see them in the app and use them right away.

Key features

You can do the following with Web AppBuilder:

  • Create HTML and JavaScript apps that run on any device.
  • Build the apps you need using ready-to-use widgets.
  • Customize the look of your apps with configurable themes.
  • Host your apps online or run them on your own server.
  • Create custom app templates.

Web AppBuilder allows you to create 2D and 3D apps by accessing workflow tabs including Theme, Map or Scene, Widget, and Attribute.

A developer edition is also available that allows you to extend the framework to create custom widgets and themes. Visit ArcGIS Developers to download ArcGIS Web AppBuilder (Developer Edition) and learn more about creating custom apps.
