What is the difference between designing a website and a mobile application?
Yes, there is a real difference between designing for mobile apps and designing for website. We need to be aware of that and use the right process. For mobile, we focus on interaction design; for the websites, we focus on information architecture. To be fair, designing for both platforms have a lot in common.
What is the difference between an app and a web application?
Mobile applications need to be installed from the app store, while web applications can be easily viewed from any browser and thus do not need to be installed. Mobile applications can be accessed even offline, and that's not the case with web applications since browsers do not work without a proper internet connection.
Why is a mobile app better than a website?
A well-designed mobile app can perform actions much quicker than a mobile website. Apps usually store their data locally on mobile devices, unlike websites that generally use web servers. For this reason, data retrieval happens swiftly in mobile apps.
What are the limitations of mobile apps when compared to web sites?
As a modern technology, apps may often be easier to use by your target audience or customer base, but they can also be less secure. They can also be harder to update and keep up to date. In conclusion, apps are great for businesses looking to create mobile-friendly experiences.
