Website vs Web App
A website mainly provides information, while a web application allows users to interact with data and perform tasks. The difference becomes important when planning a digital product.
What Is a Website?
A website usually contains public pages such as Home, About, Services, Blog and Contact. Visitors primarily consume information.
What Is a Web Application?
A web application provides interactive functionality. Users may log in, create records, upload files, manage orders, view dashboards or communicate with other users.
Examples
A company website, restaurant website and portfolio are websites. A CRM, ERP, project management platform, booking dashboard and online banking portal are web applications.
Which One Does Your Business Need?
If your primary objective is to present information and generate enquiries, a website may be enough. If users need accounts, dashboards, workflows or data management, a web application is more appropriate.
