Need a web app development to dazzle your audience into converting?

Better engagement, increased page views, better data tracking, increased conversions.

So the question that should be on any budding developments initial thought starters, is… do we build this as a website or a web app or a mobile app or all of the above?

A website is a static website with the height of user interactivity being the lead forms they populate to say hello, or to pay you or to request to subscribe to your super buzzy and incredibly popular newsletter. Is that all?? Well yeah normally but we are only a small shift away from being able to do a lot more.

Ok, so long as you are working with a (dare I say it) ‘proper’ web developer aka can engage in software developments, then transforming your website into an interactive web app is just another day at the office for the technician, but the advantages can be pretty cool.

While designing your website to be interactive (imagine the Uber app, a tool for the user to input data for desired outcomes), you can enable a sense of cooperation from the user, all of a sudden they are doing what you wish, engaging, looking around, finding answers and solving their own resolutions. All this activity can be looked upon quite favourably by Google and all that well behaved usership can result in improved data for your business and more conversions while you lead the user on a pathway to a conclusion.

The good news is, it didn’t need to cost you a fortune to develop either. Think of it as just another way to build a website.

Should I really be using a webapp for my website development?

Our best advice, if we are to be concise, is to explore the options by calling Sumo Media for a free consultation about it. You might like to change your website to a web app style to help with engagement and pathway to conversions or you may even like to retain your website and build a web app separately for the purposes of the interactivity that you desire from your clients, contractors, staff etc.

What is the difference between a website, a webapp and an app?

A website is intended for the user to read it and submit forms. A webapp, like a mobile app are intended for the user to make selections on a pathway to a specific outcome. Both website and web app are presented to the end user on the users browser. A mobile app is not located on a browser, it is software on the device like word or excel on your desktop for example. (Mobile) Apps are typically governed by the conditions of the stores as they have better access to a users device and potentially sensitive data and actions.

Cost to develop a web app vs website vs mobile app

For website vs web app, the difference in cost is not great, you’d be using the same technician as you would for coding a website. Web app developments usually come together at a similar efficiency as a website development. So between 1 week and 3 months depending on the complexity. Apps are more complex and expensive requiring specialised technicians, more work to make things work, a requirement to adapt the app to many device types and strict policy frameworks to navigate.

Should I convert my existing website to a webapp?

Probably not. It would be easier to start from scratch or add some specific features to your website to fulfill what it is that you desire to achieve.

What is a mobile web application?

Whenever you see “web”, think, browser.
Whenever you see “app” think, that the users input is pertinent to the purpose of the platform.

What is a mobile app?

Whenever you see “app” or “mobile app”, think, the software lives on the device not in the browser on the device.

What's the difference in marketing tactics for a website vs web app vs mobile app development?

Websites tend to draw traffic from Google Ads, Search Engine Optimisation, Social Media, nurturing and referrals. Webapps are similar to websites. Mobile apps can have an advantage of being hosted in the app stores which may help if people know to look for you there but this could be a disadvantage if you need to market externally to draw them to the app store first before they can interact which can add an additional step in the process to acquiring usership.
