APP VS WEBSITE
What’s the difference between a mobile app and a mobile website?
For the sake of clarity, let’s first look at the basic difference between an app and a website.

Mobile Apps
- Written in device-specific language
- Installed on a device
- Full access to native device functionality (camera, SMS, GPS, etc)
- Can function without active Internet connection
- Application updates require user to update app
- Subject of approval of app store vendor (Apple, Android, Windows, Blackberry)

Mobile Websites
- Written in device-specific language
- Installed on a device
- Full access to native device functionality (camera, SMS, GPS, etc)
- Can function without active Internet connection
- Application updates require user to update app
- Subject of approval of app store vendor (Apple, Android, Windows, Blackberry)
Another big consideration is cost. Because apps are written in device-specific languages, if you want an app that works on iOS, Android, and Windows devices, three separate apps must be developed. This makes apps exponentially more expressive to create and maintain.
Do I need a mobile app or a mobile website?
The simple answer is, it depends. If you just want to present the information on your primary website and don’t need access to native device functionality such as the camera, a website is the best choice.
If your application requires more complex functionality, a native app is going to be the better choice.

Responsive Web Design

Separate mobile sites must often be maintained separately from the main site as well. This means that if you want to update something on your website, you have to update two sites. It requires twice as much work.
The solution is to use responsive web design. With responsive design, the layout of the site “responds” to the size of the screen on which it is displayed. The site “automagically” rearranges itself so that it is easily displayed on a phone or tablet. This means you only have one site to maintain and you don’t have to sacrifice the functionality of your full website to make it usable for mobile users.
