A 6 week online course to help you create and launch your app, without all the stress and overwhelm.
What if you could create and launch an app for your business, without losing your mind OR breaking the bank?
Tell me if this sounds like you:
- You have an idea for an app, but you don’t know where to start
- OR you think an app could help your business, but you are having problems picking out an idea to start
- You are overwhelmed by all the crazy geeky details of creating an app
- You have no idea how to find or even talk to a developer, if you could find one
- You’ve heard ALL about other entrepreneurs app horror stories, and you don’t want that to happen to you
What if there was a proven process to follow?
A blueprint for what to do, and when to do it?
A way to make developers line up for the right to build your app?
A plan that results in a predictable cost for your app?
That's why I created 6 Pack Apps to help you get your app out there in the world, where you can reap the benefits for your business.
I have an app in the App Store
I’ve helped other successful entrepreneurs create their apps.
And I have a school, where I teach how to create apps people love
Praise for 6 Pack Apps:
For quite some years, I was ... never getting around to my app. This changed when I first met Lori, and then saw her "6 Pack Apps". It changed even more dramatically after attending the first lectures of the course. "6 Pack Apps" was just what I needed to get me going. I am quite sure that without "6 Pack Apps" my app would not be in the App Store now.

Hi, I’m Lori Olson
The founder and chief instructor of the WNDX School of Mobile Apps. I'm a developer, mentor, trainer with over 20 years of freelance and contract app development experience. I've watched FAR too many app launch failures, as business owners get tangled up in the app development process.
That's why I created 6 Pack Apps.
With this course, I aim to ensure that business owners stop wasting their money and precious time attempting to create apps that never see the light of day, and spend more time launching their business to the next level, with the successful apps they've created.
Praise for our Instructor:
Working along side [Lori] ... was my favourite part - it was great asking a question and seeing how someone experienced [like Lori] approached it.
~ Michael Sikorsky, CEO Robots & Pencils
Because of the time commitment, coaching calls, and developer referrals, there are a strictly limited number of spots available in this course.
So what's the plan?
The 6 Pack Apps Framework is composed of 6 steps
Focus on Audience
Step 1
Focusing on your clients and customers: your Audience. They are the ones who will be using your app.
Finding that one singular feature, your ONE THING. By focusing in on your ONE THING for your app, you will eliminate complexity right at the start, and reduce the initial cost of getting your app LAUNCHED.
In step 1, you will start your 6 Pack App Blueprint, by focusing in on your audience, and identifying your ONE THING.
Design Before Develop
Step 2
App design starts not with pretty colors, but with the user experiences (UX) of your app. UX is something that can be tested BEFORE you start developing and can be started with something as simple as a rough sketch. Taking that rough sketch you can easily create a real testable app design prototype with free prototyping tools what we'll show you how to use.
In step 2, you''l create your testable design prototype.
Test For Acceptance
Step 3
Often, when you have a concept in your head, it can be a challenge to identify when the app is “done”, because that concept can change and evolve as you go
Having a measurable benchmark of progress on your app will be a key to communication with your developer
We accomplish both of these by formalizing our app with user stories. User stories are written in a formal structure, and can be translated by your developer into FEATURE TESTS. Your user stories, created before development starts, are your definition of done.
All work should progress a story, and completed stories become a measurable benchmark of progress on your app
At the end of step 3, you'll have a tested design prototype and documented user stories to add to your 6 Pack App Blueprint.
Finding the Right Developer
Step 4
for your app can be the most challenging part of your app creation process. When selecting a developer, you and your business need to balance three constraints of building your app: SPEED, QUALITY, COST.
Which type of developer you need, dependent upon your priorities, is covered in Step 4.
Deploy the Beta
Step 5
There are a lot of moving parts for an app launch. Lots of details you need to get right. And you don’t want to be testing these details “live” during your launch
The beta will help you thread that maze, find the stumbling blocks, with a limited, friendly audience, before your app appears in the wild. And the end of the beta, you will be confident that your app is ready to be unleashed!
In Step 5 you will use our proprietary ABC Beta Checklist, to keep you on track and help collect and respond to beta feedback.
Launch for Success
Step 6
When you reach this final step, to launch your app, you want your audience to be anxiously awaiting the value your app provides. You DO NOT want to wake up the day after your launch to discover that only one person downloaded it. That was your dad. #facepalm
You want lots of people, your audience, to download and start using your app. You want rave app reviews to start flooding in.
In Step 6, you will fill in the Launch Strategic Response Plan template to complete your 6 Pack App Blueprint for Success.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why doesn't this course cost more?
Obviously there is a tonne more value here than you are paying for. Every time I hear another horror story about an app failure, it makes me cringe, both for my profession, and for the now much poorer and stressed out product owner. I know that the failures are a joint effort, though, so I want to make sure that you look at this course and think, there's no way I can pass up that deal. This course will save you thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars, in app development costs. I want to you spend less money here, wisely, so when you go to pay someone to create your app, or try to tackle development yourself, that your time and money isn't being wasted.
