Hello all, sorry if this is posted in the wrong place. I am not quite sure where else to ask this question. However, I wanted to know the best option for creating a simple app for a non-coder. It is a simple app that I can post blog content on. With the app development framework I will purchase templates.

'Visual app builders' are what you're looking for. They'll give you a working base to start from, and allow easy extension for modest apps in a newbie-friendly package.
Couple useful references:
- Windows App Studio should have you covered if you planned for a Windows app.
- MobinCube (crossplatform. Free plan available)
- AppMakr (crossplatform. Free plan avalable.)

Can you provide a bit more information on what you are looking to do, specifically? You mention app, but also posting blog content, so are you looking to build an app for something like a mobile phone, or a visual website builder to post content too online?

I made one recently using one of them.
Are they good, or is it better custom made by a guy, but that can be pricy.

It's pretty much only a template selector, which you edit with basic differentiators. IMO it would be a much better value to just commission a good freelancer for a 15-minute job.
With visual appmakers, there's some level of vendor lock-in and limited control so you eventually need to pay more or take development into your hand for full control (publish under your store account). Think of it as a 'remove freedoms, sell them back' business model.

You stated: IMO it would be a much better value to just commission a good freelancer for a 15-minute job.
-How would this be done? I always used upworks.
-Can you give me a quick rundown of the steps?
- And how much would this cost?
- my concern would be that there would not be any technical support hiring a freelance if something want wrong.
