How to Build HelloFresh Style App on Webflow, Wized, and Xano
Creating a meal kit delivery platform like HelloFresh enables users to receive pre-portioned ingredients and recipes for home-cooked meals. Using Webflow for the UI, Wized for subscription management, and Xano as the backend, you can develop a seamless meal kit service.
User Flow and Project Scope
To kick things off, we need to set a clear scope and requirements. I recommend creating a user flow that maps out the main app functions and core business logic. This way, we’re clear on the size and complexity of the project from the start.
After defining the flow, we’ll compile everything into a Product Requirements Document (PRD). This document will outline what’s included in the first version and what isn’t, so we stay aligned and keep things moving smoothly.
Typical users for your HelloFresh Style App
Subscribers: Choose meal plans and manage deliveries.
Chefs: Develop recipes for meal kits.
Admins: Oversee subscriptions and delivery schedules.
Main user flows for your HelloFresh Style App
Meal Selection: Users choose meals based on preferences and dietary needs.
Delivery Scheduling: Allows users to manage delivery dates and frequency.
Customer Dashboard: Customers select meals, update preferences, and track deliveries.
Recipe Library: Users access recipes and cooking instructions.
Admin Dashboard: Manages subscriptions, meal offerings, and delivery logistics.
Reports: Tracks popular recipes, customer preferences, and order frequency.
Database Structure on Xano
To build an efficient and scalable HelloFresh Style App, we’ll design a flexible database structure on Xano. Even if not all features are in the initial version, this structure will make it easier to expand and adapt as the app grows.

Frontend Development in Webflow
Webflow gives us a powerful platform for frontend development, allowing us to achieve pixel-perfect design and faster results compared to traditional development methods. Using Webflow’s visual editor for HTML and CSS, we’ll speed up the build process while maintaining flexibility.
API and Logic Creation in Xano
Once the planning is complete, or even alongside frontend development, we’ll build the app’s core logic in Xano. Here, we’ll create the APIs to connect the backend with the frontend securely. Xano’s visual interface supports everything from database management to API creation and server-side logic, so we can handle complex workflows as needed.
Connect Frontend and Backend with Wized
Wized allows us to bring all the business logic, workflows, and APIs created in Xano into the Webflow frontend. Wized supports both visual JavaScript development and custom code if needed, giving us flexibility to include standard JavaScript libraries and meet specific requirements.
Quality Assurance Process
Quality assurance is essential to make sure everything works perfectly before launch. Our team will do thorough testing, and I encourage you to participate in the review as well. This way, we can ensure the app meets your expectations and provides a smooth experience for your users.
Conclusion
Creating HelloFresh Style App involves more than just putting features together—it’s about building something scalable, efficient, and secure. By following this structured development process and using tools like Webflow, Wized, and Xano, we’ll have a strong foundation. Working with experienced professionals and prioritizing QA will ensure the app’s success. Check out our case studies to see similar projects we’ve brought to life and what’s possible for your vision.
