Every common man who is not aware of the technical terms has a question in his mind. What is the basic difference between the Mobile website and app? Are we confusing between the native and web apps or there is really a big difference?

Our android and iOS app development company providing offshore solutions based in New York. Our professional developers elaborate on the unique services offered by the mobile websites and mobile apps, here are the difference which would help you to judge which one would benefit you in business.

Defining a Mobile website:

A mobile website is mainly a responsive version of the desktop website which is used in the smartphone devices. It also includes the limited number of the pages on the desktop version in which it can actually link to the fully desktop website so that the visitors can also have additional information as well. The content is reduced in mobile website sp that the access of website on the smartphone doesn’t look bad. In fact, a mobile website focuses mainly on the functionality of the website rather than too much importance to design and look. It also offers consistent brand experience to the users whether the customers are visiting for the color scheme, call to action or for the content that is displayed on the website.

Benefits of a mobile website:

The mobile apps are developed using android, iOS and windows platform and it is accessible on all the three platforms on any device big or small smartphone.

The cost of building the app, time taken, hosting and other things are pretty

It is much cheaper and faster. In fact, it is easier to convert the current website into a mobile website. And then building a smart app.

If you are bad in remembering the names, the mobile app will let you list your app on the Apple or Play Store for iOS and android app development.

Mobile apps are adjusted as per the client. One can always download the app and can run on his smartphones but the mobile website will not be beneficial even if you find the ways to download it. This is the big difference between the mobile website and mobile app.

Defining Mobile App

The web browsers no more run mobile apps rather you can download them for use on your smartphone. This may or may not require the internet connection. When the users want to use the apps, they mainly go through several portals like Android market, blackberry app world, and apple app store in order to locate and download an app from specific locations. The mobile app is paid or it can be downloaded for free from the app store. The benefits of the app are that the users can use some of the key features of the mobile like the camera, GPS and can also create push notifications for any kind of business reminders and meetings.

Benefits of iOS app development:

• The user experience is given importance and mobile apps are user-friendly especially designed to cater the needs of all age group people.

• The business apps are used to send the push notifications to the client which is a kind of business promotion whereas the direct advertising through banners can be done on mobile websites.
