Web development
Website or web application? How to choose
A plain-language guide to the difference — and how to decide which your organization needs first.

People often use the words interchangeably, but they solve different problems and are priced and planned differently.
A website informs
A website presents information: who you are, what you offer, and how to reach you. Visitors mostly read and then contact you.
A web application does work
A web application lets users log in and perform tasks: record sales, check results, track orders. It stores and processes data.
Which comes first?
- Need credibility and enquiries? Start with a website.
- Losing time to paperwork and spreadsheets? Consider an application.
- Unsure? A short consultation can clarify the right first step.
