Quick answer: A website mainly shows information to visitors. A web application lets users do things, such as log in, enter data, manage orders or view a dashboard. Many businesses need both.
Websites
Examples include a company site, a blog or a simple store page. Visitors read, browse and contact you.
Web applications
Examples include a customer portal, an order tracker, an inventory tool or a sales dashboard. Users sign in and work with their own data.
Which do you need?
- Choose a website to explain your business and attract customers.
- Choose a web application to run a process, such as tracking orders or reporting.
- Use both when customers need information and tools.
