When is it better to build a web app?

Web applications can be considered dynamic websites combined with server-side
programming that provide functionalities such as connecting to back-end databases,
interacting with users, and generating results for browsers.

Difference between web apps & websites:
Though websites and web applications sound similar, technically there’s a slight
difference between these two terms. Web apps are designed to be interactive,
whereas a website’s primary purpose is to present information.

Types of web apps
1. Static web apps
They consist of restricted content and have no flexibility; thus, they are
simple, effortless, and less expensive to develop across the web.
2. Dynamic web apps
These web apps fetch the data in real-time based on the user’s
request, and so they are technically complex compared to static web
apps.
3. Single-page apps (SPAs)
Here, a lot of information stays on the same page, and only a few
pieces of information must be updated at a time.
4. Multiple-page apps (MPAs)
For MPAs, the application reloads and displays a new page from the
server in the browser whenever the user performs a new action.
5. Progressive web apps (PWAs)
PWAs let users access the complete information and all the features of
the web application using mobile browsers.

Levels of web app based on complexity
Basic or simple application
01
This web app category consists of
landing pages, one-pagers, and simple
e-Commerce.
03 Complex or large-scale web app
Exclusive web apps with enterprise
business models fall in this category.
Scalability is the characteristic of any
application, which is all about consistent
performance no matter how many users
use the app at the same time.
02 Professional web app
This category includes small-to-medium
and eCommerce websites. It consists of
a lot of interactive elements with a
significant volume of content.

1. Scope of Work (SOW)

cost
What type of web application do you want?— A simple landing
page, a complex integrated system, a dashboard, or an
eCommerce website? ,
Do you want a highly interactive web application such as a
PWA?
Would you require a mobile version of it?
What would be the possible deadline, and if any specific
functions you want in your web app?
It’s crucial to decide the functionalities and features your web app
will provide to the users. This is further distilled down to the
audience you’re going to build a web app for and which purpose
does it serve.
Once you’re determined about the target audience, ask yourself
these questions.

2. Developer’s physical location

cost
Companies often prefer to outsource web development due to the
higher pricing of local developers and the availability of expert
developers at comparatively low rates in distant regions.
3. Developers’ skillset
Before hiring a team, you should decide how many specialists
should be on your web app development team.

4. Complexity of UI/UX design

cost
The main difference lies in design complexity, animations, and a
number of elements. The app interface need not be unique and
appealing, but it should be convenient to use. Thus, both designers
and web app developers need time to bring it all together.
5. Maintenance
The average cost of ongoing web app maintenance ranges between
15% to 20% of the total yearly budget of development companies.
6. Hidden costs
The hidden costs include cyber threats, subscription costs for plug-
ins, templates, etc.
To avoid such additional costs of plugins at the end of the project,
make sure to partner with skilled development teams who have a
holistic idea of your project requirements.

to-face communication.

Tips for choosing
the best tech stack
for your web app
Do market research, define your target users’ requirements, and
know the additional functionalities your app should have to beat
the competition.
Find out whether the tech stack you’re considering is capable
enough to handle your prospective app’s processing loads.
Analyze the tech stack ecosystem, such as its documentation.
For frontend development, the three top-performing frameworks
are Angular, React, and Vue.js.
If you’re passionate about JavaScript, you can select Node.js or
Express.js for your web application’s backend.
Consider a PHP framework like Symfony, Laravel, or Zend for a
less expensive yet stable solution.
With the serverless computing service, you can run and manage
your project with fewer resources.
