# Create Project

**App Maker** is a powerful and user-friendly platform that enables users to easily create, configure, and publish mobile applications. This guide walks you through the process of initializing a new project on the App Maker platform—from accessing the dashboard to entering key project information and preparing your environment for development and version control integration.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you're working on an existing project, you can skip the project creation steps and move directly to the development phase.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Behind the Scenes:** Once you click Create, App Maker begins setting up the project environment. This may take approximately **10–20 seconds**. When the setup is complete, you’ll be automatically redirected to the main project list, where your new project will now be visible.
{% endhint %}

## <mark style="color:red;">Exploring Project Details</mark>

Once your project is created, you can explore and configure it in more depth. The **Project Details** view is divided into two main sections:

<mark style="color:red;">**i. Project Info**</mark>

This section includes the core metadata about the project.

<mark style="color:red;">**ii. Builds**</mark>

The Builds table allows you to manage application builds generated from this project.
