Web applications

What is a web application?

A web application is a website that operates in a browser and can be saved to a device’s home screen as an icon, much like a native app. Since it is a website, you don’t need to purchase or install it from an app store, nor do you need to update it with new versions.

A web application functions like a standard website, so there is no need to create and maintain separate versions for different devices and browsers. This also saves you from dealing with the bureaucracy of various app store providers. Due to responsive design, a web application works on all devices without requiring separate apps. From an implementation perspective, it is a lighter alternative to a native app.

Who is a web application for?

Building a basic website as a web application requires more effort compared to traditional technical implementation, so a web application is better suited for larger web service projects.

When custom functionalities are needed for mobile use, a web application is a good way to enhance the user experience of the site. Interactions and animations can work as smoothly as they do in a native app.

Why and when to choose a web application?

A web application’s advantage over a traditional website is its fast loading and offline functionality.

A web application can leverage native phone features such as GPS and camera, and can send push notifications. Its presence on the phone’s home screen increases usage. Additionally, a web application takes up less space on the phone compared to a native app.

Native app or web app?

When designing a native app, a web app is a relevant and cost-effective alternative. A web app functions like a regular website, so there is no need to develop and maintain separate versions for different devices and browsers.
