Web app refers to a website or an application that runs in a web browser. A web app can be created with a simple HTML and CSS template, or you can use an existing website as a starting point.
A web app typically has a different look and feel from a standard website. For example, web apps typically use a separate address (such as www.mywebsite.com/webapp) instead of the website’s main address (www.mywebsite.com).
Additionally, web apps typically have their own set of features, such as the ability to create and manage documents, run applications, and connect to other services.
Some of the most popular web apps include Gmail, Facebook, and Google Maps. There are countless others that offer unique features and services.
Web app development is growing in popularity due to its many advantages over traditional website development:
Web app development is faster and easier than traditional website development because you don’t need to design and build the entire website from scratch. Instead, you can use an existing website as a starting point and add the features and functionality of a web app.
Web app development is more secure than traditional website development because you are not exposed to the same risks involved in hosting your own server. Instead, your web app is hosted by a third-party service provider (such as Amazon Web Services or Google Cloud Platform).
Web app development is more flexible than traditional website development because you can tailor the look and feel of your web app to match your own branding and marketing strategy.
Web app development is easier to scale than traditional website development because you can add more users and servers without having to redesign or rebuild the entire site. You simply add additional instances of the web app’s code repository (such as GitHub) to accommodate increased demand.
