What is Caspio Bridge?

Caspio Birdge, is a product from Caspio, that assists designers and other non-developers in building a web application with no expertise. It provides web application development tools designed to build custom applications without the users ever knowing they weren’t developed by a professional developer. There are also free “ready made” applications available, and Caspio claims many users can have their application up in days, rather than weeks, saving time and money spent on development.

Caspio Bridge Features

Caspio Bridge has many features to make building a web application easy, including:

  • a step-by-step wizard for creating each screen in the application.
  • database driven application development.

The Bottom Line

For those who don’t have the time or desire to learn about building web applications or don’t feel as though they have the right web application development tools on hand, this is a simple and quick system to use. Of course, for those who cannot afford the monthly price, more geared toward small businesses and large companies, it is better to learn to develop your own or hire a freelance developer to build the application for you. For those who can afford it, it is well worth the money because the features are great and the program is easy to use.
