What is wApplication?

The term wApplication is an abbreviation for widgetized web Application.

A widgetized web application is similar to any web application that you are planning to buy or build. By using wApplications you will be lead into the future generation of Web applications by taking advantage of web3.0.

Sounds fancy but what does this mean?


wApplications allow you to build sophisticated web application with HTML and JavaScript knowledge only. Look at it as web services in JS. No need for complex IT infrastructure, server based architectures, and in general any technical server side knowledge or needs.


  • wApplications totally liberate you from any need for complex IT infrastructures.
  • wApplications allow the addition of Web2.0 interactive dynamic elements into any website without the need to change its architecture nor add Server based elements.
  • wApplications allow you to concentrate uniquely on the client side business logic and GUI, letting the wApplication handle the behind the scenes IT work.
  • wApplications can be added immediately to ANY existing website, either by drag and drop using the wizard included in the Simplify SAAS, or manually if you know HTML and JS.

Since wApplications are widget driven each of the functionalities in your web application is a widget that is made up of JavaScript, HTML and CSS. This means that unlike many applications a wApplication can be used in any website without the need for any special software installation or configuration, neither change hosting nor install any server.


Today there are many tools that you can get for free from the open source market or by paying for a license. Unfortunately whatever you are going to use you need to deal with server side elements. Moreover, if you need to add certain functionality that is not available, well good luck, you need to understand the coding used in the technology you got and add to it. In addition, if you have an existing website and you just want to add to it certain functionality, all the existing tools will force a complete revamping of the website architecture and the introduction of server based elements to it, with all the complexity associated with the interaction between the server's APIs the back office and the front end website.


With the wApplications, for the first time, it is possible to add dynamic functionalities as easily, as securely, as quickly and as cheaply as it is for static elements and gadgets.


Try adding a transparent Paypal online payment to your website and you'll understand.


Let us look at the example below:

We would like to add a transparent Paypal online payment as follow:

  1. Show the payment form
  2. Process with Paypal transparently
    • if TRUE
      • Send receipt by email
      • Add the new order under Salesforces
      • Post a new wall message under Facebook
      • Show success form
    • If FALSE
      • Show error form
To do the above outside the wApplication Ecosystem you need to worry about the following:
  1. Learn the API from Paypal
  2. Learn the API from Salesforces
  3. Learn the API from Facebook
  4. Put together server side coding to manage all the communications
  5. Build the website 
  6. and Link things together
With the wApplication Ecosystem you just need to:
  1. Build the website
  2. and link things together in JS only
wApplication will let you focus on the GUI of your website and the help you find the right Business Logic that is going to convert most of the visitors of your website. The image below illustrates the Paypal example above.
