Web Apps vs Websites

Understanding what you actually need

A website presents information. A web application does work. If users log in, create data, interact with a system, or automate a process—you need a web application, not just a website.

Modern web applications run entirely in the browser, work across every device, and can rival desktop software in power and speed. They're faster to build than native apps, easier to update, and accessible from anywhere.

You Need a Web App When...

Users need to log in and have personal data
You want to automate a business process
Multiple people collaborate on shared data
You need real-time updates or notifications
You're building a product to sell to customers
Data needs to be stored, processed, or analysed
