What is a web application?
A web application is software you use in the browser, without installing anything. Unlike a website, it lets people do something: log in, place an order, manage data or work through a process. Because it runs on a server, everyone always works with the same, current version, on any device.
- Works on any device
Desktop, tablet or smartphone: a browser is all it takes.
- Always the latest version
An update reaches everyone at once. Nobody has to download anything.
- Secure behind a login
Roles and permissions decide who sees what: your team, your customers or your partners.
Comparison
Website, web application or app?
The three are often used interchangeably. The difference lies in what a user does with it.
| Feature | Website | Web application | Mobile app |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Inform and convince | Let users work with data | A task on the move, with camera, location or notifications |
| Login and data | Usually not | Yes, with roles and permissions | Yes |
| Installation | None | None, it runs in the browser | Through the App Store or Google Play |
| Example | Your company site | Customer portal, B2B webshop, ERP | An app for technicians in the field |
Torn between a web application and an app? You often start with the web app. An app can follow later, on the same data. App development

From first sketch to a web app that is live.
- 01
Who uses it, and for what
We start with the people who will work with the web app, and with what holds them back today.
- 02
A first working version
The part that pays off most comes first. You test it with real data before we build further.
- 03
Building in short steps
A new version every few weeks that you see and steer yourself. No surprises at the end.
- 04
Launch and maintenance
Hosting, updates and new wishes after launch. Your web app stays secure and up to date.

Good to know
Questions about web application development.
How long does it take to develop a web application?
A first working version of the most important part is usually ready within a few weeks. After that we keep building in short steps, for as long as needed.
What does it cost to develop a web application?
That depends on what it needs to do. We start with the part that pays off most, so your investment starts small and you only build further once it works.
Does a web application work on a smartphone too?
Yes. We design every screen for desktop and smartphone. If it also needs to work offline or send notifications, a mobile app can be added, on the same data.
Can it connect to the software we already use?
Usually, yes. We connect through APIs to accounting packages, webshops, CRMs and Microsoft 365. If a system has no API, we find another secure route together, such as a scheduled import.
