Web applications

Web application development is just one of the many services in the rich portfolio we offer. It is worth explaining what it is and how such a solution can help your business.

What are web applications?

Web applications (interchangeably called web apps) are nothing more than browser-based systems. Compared to a mobile application, they do not require installation on the user’s phone or computer. In contrast to a website, which always provides information and usually serves as a virtual business card, a web application is interactive and extends the functionality of the website.

In a nutshell, a web application is a tool operating online from the level of a web browser and used to perform specific tasks. When the user takes a particular action, the application immediately connects to the server, providing a response in the form of a defined message or activity. Web applications are used for purposes such as audio-visual communication, sales, payments, reservations or customer relationship management.
