The Wizard’s Toolkit is a low-code development library to make website and mobile-app development easier and quicker. It provides a huge number of features and functionality automatically which should save hundreds of hours of development.
This code library was created in 2009 and each year we have improved and expanded upon it. Using a combination of PHP, SQL, JavaScript and MaterializeCSS, the development of full-featured websites and mobile apps is fast and maintaining them is easy. Low-code is the newest trend. This allows you to jump-start your development and then continue developing but you focus on the crucial customized aspect for your specific business and leave the routine back-end processing to the library.
Get a jump start on your development. When you start with the Wizard’s Toolkit your site will already have the basics covered. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel. Registration for new accounts, Forgot Password feature, Login/Logout functionality and a basic Dashboard are all part of the initial deployment so you can focus on the real important aspects of your company instead of the basics.
If you have SQL skills or SQL staff who do not know PHP, the Wizard’s Report Manager makes generating web pages with complex reports very easy. Your SQL staff writes a SELECT query and chooses which columns to be centered or right-aligned, which should be sortable, and which should be totaled. Everything is saved in the database and generates web reports which can be exported to CSV or XML. Graphs are always a crowd pleaser and the Wizard’s Toolkit makes adding Bar, Line, Area and Pie charts extremely easy. Simply flip a toggle in the Report Manager and all the charts are automatically added to the report.
Every company and website needs to have an App or at least to look good when viewed on a smart phone. The entire Wizard’s Toolkit library was built with this in mind so all pages have Responsive design. When you make a database, HTML, or PHP change it is automatically and immediately available to all your users. That is for both iOS and Android. When you are ready to create an App for the app stores, anything you built with the Wizard’s Toolkit is already compliant and ready as a "hybrid" app. The hybrid development model has many advantages. For JavaScript and CSS changes it does require users to log out and log back in. The Wizard’s Toolkit automatically tracks which version your users are using and when you want to force them to upgrade to the newest JavaScript and CSS you can easily do so from your administration website by simply updating the version number.
Most coders have to write complex pages to save the data for every page that allows updating. The Wizard’s Toolkit pages handle all of that without needing to write a single line of code. Data is saved and we log who changed or inserted the data, what was changed, and when. The back office allows administrators to quickly search based on either user login or data table to see update logs. When your staff wants to know who or when something was changed they can now easily do so.
Low-code lends itself well to the Agile methodology of application development by offering developers the ability to quickly build new pages and modify current ones. More organisations are realising the business value of becoming agile and efficient with low code development platforms, along with how they provide solutions to common development problems like technical debt and process inefficiencies.
One of the most important advantages of low-code developmennt compared to no-code is all the source code is on your server. You have 100% control and ability to modify or enhance. With no-code you can, and often do, hit limitations where there is no possible solution.
Low-code development platforms allow development teams to build and deploy websites and mobile applications faster. Decreasing your organizations time-to-market means having revenues start streaming in sooner, and beating your competition to market. With the Agile methodologies and ease of adding enhancements, your apps and website will be able to expand and change as quickly as the market requires. Improved, faster productivity means increasing ROI. Using Wizard’s Toolkit gives you a jump start on development saving you hundreds of hours and tens of thousands of dollars. Every page is responsive design ready for websites AND for mobile apps. Coding with the Wizard’s Toolkit makes development fast, consistent and therefore saves you time and money.
The Wizard’s Toolkit is a low-code library which allows developers to build websites and mobile apps in a fraction of the time it takes with traditional development.
Our code writes code! Paste in a working SQL SELECT query and choose a few options to add extra features like quick-filters, then press a button and PHP pages are created which will display data from your database and allow updating. Web Page Wizard creates both a listing page and associated update page.
The Wizard’s Toolkit contains over 40 SQL tables which manage and track everything from users to errors to data updates.
"All of this is insanely fast, you’ve already done more solo than an entire team in India did in 2 months! Thanks for the detailing out the MVP stages right now, all build times look good, and we can discuss more on a call later this week."
"Just wanted to drop you a line- everyone (money people) really loves the software and is impressed by the build and speed."

"Gartner meanwhile forecasts that more than 65 percent of all app development functions will be done via low-code by 2024."
"Over time, however, that mindset has changed, and people from all segments of the business — developers, IT, and business users — have seen what the [low-code] platforms are actually capable of, making them a more viable option nowadays. In fact, Gartner predicts that by 2023, over 50% of medium to large enterprises will be using low code as a strategic application platform. This recognition by the industry is why SD Times is declaring 2021 the year of low-code platforms."
"The time savings associated with low-code development can be significant for companies trying to release software before their competitors or those looking to modernize legacy apps. For example, 31 percent of application developers surveyed by Forrester cited challenges in meeting business requirements in time as a result of using traditional coding with programming languages, frameworks and middleware to build applications. Thirty-six percent of developers cited using low-code to build custom-facing mobile or Web applications."
"The main benefit of low-code development vs. traditional app development is cost and time savings, which can enable an enterprise to deliver some products and features faster and for less money."
