Website vs Web Application
When people ask what we do we usually tell them we build web applications, but they tend to look at us funny when we do that. So we tell them, “we build websites.” The fact of the matter is that most websites you go to today like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Amazon are all web applications. The main difference between a website and web application is does the content change through a database or does somebody have to manually update what’s shown on the screen through code.
Websites are pretty basic, they are usually made up of anywhere from 1-200 pages and contain almost all static content that won’t be changed very often. Every user that visits the website gets the exact same experience. There is no customization based on the particular users and there is no dynamic content.

When Is A Website Better Than A Web Application
Web applications are great but they also take a lot more time and if you know that your content isn’t going to change very often why not cut the cost and simply build a website. When updates or edits are needed, simply send us a request and we can update the content, it’s as easy as that.
