Definition — What is web and cloud development?

Web development refers to building, creating, and maintaining websites. It includes such aspects as:

  • web design
  • web publishing
  • web programming
  • database management

Web application development is the creation of application programs that reside on remote servers and are delivered to the user’s device over the Internet. An end-user can access a web app through a web browser (like Google Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox, etc.). A big number of web apps can be written in JavaScript, CSS and HTML5.

Web-based app can be as simple as a message board on a website, or as complex as a multiplayer mobile gaming app that you download to your device.

In general, the full web application development cycle includes such steps:

  1. Analysis of business requirements and market conditions
  2. Drafting technical specifications
  3. Prototyping web applications
  4. Interface design development
  5. The adaptive layout of a web application
  6. Programming the server and client parts of the program
  7. Testing web applications
  8. Launching and technical support

Cloud development involves developing the cloud that means developing the cloud architecture (planning, organizing, designing) to implement and structuring cloud delivery models (Iaas, Paas, etc).

Additional tasks in cloud development include managing the cloud service delivery models. It's about connecting outside provider data centers back to your company’s network, creating a recovery plan in case the cloud service goes down, network bandwidth and more.

Cloud development typically includes integrated development environment, application lifecycle management components (test and quality management, source code and configuration management, continuous delivery tools), and application security testing components. This can include anything from back-end, front-end, web application, full-stack, data and application integration and cloud application deployment.

After all, a cloud app — software product where cloud-based and local components work together.

Mobile friendly web applications, Progressive Web Applications, Responsive and Adaptive web design

If you already have a web app, you will probably need to redesign and recode it to make it's design mobile (responsive) friendly. What does it mean?

Mobile web apps are websites written in HTML/CSS and run by a browser for comfortable phone experience. They aren't mobile apps.

It might be challenging to understand - to build a native app or a mobile website.

The answer is pretty clear - if you are developing, for example, a game so an app is going to be your best option. But if your main aim is to offer a mobile-friendly content to the wide audience - a mobile website is the best solution.

Of course, building a mobile-friendly website requires a lot of effort, but if you want to raise your business on the next stage - establishing a mobile presence for your business or organization is one of the first steps.

So why should your web app be mobile friendly? There are some important reasons for that:

  1. easy accessibility
  2. integrating social media
  3. user experience
  4. the SEO importance

Mobile (responsive) web design allows your web application to adapt and deliver the best experience to users, whether they’re using desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone.

As mobile use continues to grow, a mobile-friendly responsive website is the right choice. There are some strong advantages of mobile web apps under native apps:

  1. cost-effectiveness
  2. no need to update (websites are easy to update, usually users don't even notice those process)
  3. available for all users (not only on specific platforms like iOS/Android)

Sometimes a product requires not a responsive design for mobile support , but an Adaptive web design. Adaptive design is when an application is created specifically for this type of device (for example for mobile only and not for desktop browsers).

Also a growing trend now is implementing Progressive Web Application (PWA) which looks almost like an usual application but delivered through a mobile browser. Thus it supports the advantages of native applications (works offline, has notifications, local database, connectivity with web services, etc). And at the same time has advantages of web application - updated by pushing new versions to web-servers, doesn’t require real installation and is faster to start. Now more and more companies are released PWA applications, like Spotify, Uber, Pinterest, Google (Chat), and others

Overall, Developex can assist you with both. You decide whether you need a mobile website or a mobile app, or maybe both of them.

No doubts, both can be a strategic and valuable choice. When it comes to your business strategy, it’s not a question of a mobile website or an app, because both are useful. It all comes down to time, resources and budget.
