A simple decision framework to pick between a website, a progressive web app and native or cross-platform mobile apps based on your customers and budget.
Where and how will people use your product? Researching a service from a search result points to a fast website. Daily, repeat use with notifications, offline needs or device features points to an app.
If your goal is credibility, discovery through search and lead generation, a well-built website is the best return on investment. It is easiest to update and index.
Dashboards, portals, booking systems and internal tools usually work best as web apps. One codebase serves every device, and installable web apps can feel close to native.
Choose an app when you need push notifications, camera or biometric access, offline mode or a presence in the app stores. Cross-platform frameworks let one team ship iOS and Android together, which controls cost.
Many products start as a website plus a web app, validate demand, and add mobile apps once usage proves the need. Design your backend and APIs once so every client can share them.
