In an age where digitalization reigns supreme, Web and Mobile Apps development is more than just a technological endeavour, it’s a crucial investment that can redefine a business’s trajectory.

Think about the introduction of digital transformation.  The introduction of the Uber app created an entire new way of consuming traditional taxi services and became a competitive disruption.  Or consider the impact of the global Covid pandemic and the need to empower self-service in many industries through the use of apps.  Restaurants created new ways of handling take-out.  Medical institutions and governments tracked Covid shots.  And financial institutions rapidly empowered self-banking options given restrictions to come into bank branches. 

Through adoption and continuous innovation of apps (e.g., emergence of hybrid apps), businesses position themselves as forward-thinking entities that are ready to adapt to evolving customer expectations and market dynamics. Beyond radically transforming business processes, the introduction of apps both web and mobile based introduced key questions and challenges.

• • • Should development be done in-house or in partnership with skilled service providers?
    • How do you deal with the differences of making the same functionality available to customers through web and mobile apps?
    • How do you deal with security vulnerabilities introduced through these new firewall points of entry?
    • How do you deal with the numerous infrastructure and enterprise application changes needed to support these?

And the questions go on and on….

Before we attempt to answer some of these questions, let’s further understand the relevance of apps in driving customer engagement and brand building  starting with a few statistics:

– Mobile users spend 90% of their internet time on apps.

– Businesses with mobile apps witnessed a 30% increase in customer engagement.

– Users engage with apps for an average of 201 minutes per month, dwarfing website engagement times.

– 67% of companies consider mobile apps a competitive necessity.

– 85% of consumers prefer mobile apps over mobile websites due to superior user experience

– 38% of users will stop engaging with a website if the content/layout is unattractive.

Actual web and mobile app development is a different story altogether. Ensuring seamless user experiences across various platforms and devices, optimizing performance, addressing security considerations, and seamlessly integrating with existing systems require a high level of technical expertise. Additionally, is also important to connect the app with other systems, perform rigorous app testing, continuously train your developers on new trends and technologies etc.

Nevertheless, if businesses can overcome these difficulties, they have the potential to achieve more user engagement, see a spike in revenue, and gain stronger competitive advantage.

Mobile web app vs native app vs hybrid app

App development choices vary depending on several factors. When deciding between mobile web, native, or hybrid apps, consider your target audience, their preferences, your development resources, and your envisioned licensing and sales model.

Mobile web apps are generally faster and cheaper to develop, especially for supporting a wide range of devices. However, native apps might be necessary if your app requires device-specific features like movement sensors. Hybrid apps, on the other hand, offer a compromise. They are built using web technologies like HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript but run on the device within a native container, granting access to device capabilities like the accelerometer and camera.

Regardless of your choice of web and mobile application development, thorough research and confirmation of assumptions are essential. For example, although you may want to develop a native e-commerce app, remember that many users still prefer web sites. Practical factors such as time and budget also come into play. Balancing speed, quality, and cost is key to a successful project. The table below lists out the key features of the three types.

Developing apps in house vs outsourcing.

Businesses that harness the power of custom apps stand to reap substantial benefits. So when businesses venture into web and mobile application development, they often face the decision of whether to handle it in-house or to seek external expertise through outsourcing. Each path presents its own set of advantages and considerations, allowing businesses to make informed choices based on their unique needs and resources.
