Introduction: A website publishes pages. A web app gives each user an account and a task: a dashboard, an order, a file, or a report. Building an app when all you need is five pages adds cost. Staying on a page builder when people must log in and work adds pain.
1. Stay with a site when the job is to explain
Services, a portfolio, a contact form, and a blog fit a normal site. Editors should be able to change a page without a release.
2. Move to an app when the job is to do something
- People sign in and see only their own data.
- The screen changes based on a role, a cart, or a status.
- Two teams need the same record at the same time.
3. Do not mix the two by accident
A marketing site can link to the app. They do not have to be one codebase. The site can change weekly. The app should change when the workflow changes.
Choose a site to explain the offer. Choose an app when the visitor has an account and a task.
4. Conclusion
EliteSigma builds the site, the app, or both, and keeps the marketing pages easy to edit.
