What is the difference between a website, a web app, and a mobile app?

Websites, web apps and mobile apps are all types of digital tools that allow users to access and interact with information and resources on the internet. However, each type has its own unique features and characteristics.

• Websites are a collection of web pages that are typically accessed through a web browser. They are often used to provide information about a business, organization, or individual. Websites are typically static, meaning that their content does not change unless it is manually updated by the website's creator. They can be accessed from any device that has a web browser and an internet connection, and are often built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

• Web apps, on the other hand, are interactive web-based applications that run in a web browser. They are similar to websites in that they can be accessed from any device that has a web browser and an internet connection. However, web apps are dynamic and interactive, allowing users to perform tasks and engage with the application in real time. They are often built using technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and server-side scripting languages like PHP or Ruby on Rails.

• Mobile apps, also known as native apps, are applications that are specifically designed for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. They are typically downloaded and installed from an app store. Mobile apps are built using programming languages such as Swift for iOS or Java for Android and are optimized for the specific features and capabilities of mobile devices.

In summary, websites are typically used to provide information, web apps are interactive and dynamic, while mobile apps are designed for mobile devices and are optimized for the specific features and capabilities of those mobile devices. Each option has its own use cases and advantages and it depends on the project and the user's needs which one will be the best fit.
