A web application, also known as a web app, is nothing but a computer program that uses a web browser to perform a specific function. A web application is a client-server program that comprises a client-side and a server-side. The user enters data through the client-side (front-end), while the server-side (back-end) of the application stores and processes the information. For example, shopping carts, content management systems, and online forms are typical web applications. Both enterprises and individuals develop web applications to fulfill different purposes
How does a Web Application Work?
Web applications are accessed over a network and need not be downloaded. Instead, users can access web applications through browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, or Safari.
A web application is built around three components- a Web Server, an Application Server, and a Database. The web server manages requests from the client, the application server processes requests, and the database stores the information.
How We Develop Web Application?
Conceptualize
The first step is to define the problem you want to solve with a web application and collect all the relevant information needed for app development. A well-defined problem will give an excellent head-start to the project and help you identify the best solution. Next, clarify the purpose and the end goals of the application. During the planning phase, the developers will take a run to answer the following questions.
- What app do you want to build?
- What features and functions should it include?
- What is the audience of your product?
Prototype & Development
Post-design, the next step is to build the application. The following steps will happen in this phase.
- To create a database for storage, the developers need to determine what data and data types are required for the application to perform well.
- Developers will create interaction between the user and the server.
- Based on the application type, that is, client-side/ server-side/ single-page, programming is done.
Test and Implement
Whether an automated or manual web application, testing for the web application is an ongoing process throughout the software development lifecycle. Testing is an inevitable part of the software development process.
The Testing (QA) team will test the app for usability, compatibility, functionality, security, and performance to eliminate bugs and ensure that the application works without any glitches. Testing also helps identify any possible improvements and upgrades to make in the future. Once the testing is complete, you can finally implement the application in your company or your customer’s side.
Hosting and Maintenance
You must buy a domain and choose a hosting provider to create a server location for the app. We help you choose shared hosting, dedicated hosting, or cloud hosting based on your requirements. Maintenance of the application or website includes:
- Ongoing QA testing
- Bug fixes and improvements
- Providing regular updates and technical support
Types of Web Applications
Static Web Application
A static web application does not involve any interaction between the user and the server. It directly displays the content to the end user’s browser without fetching any data from the server-side. They are pretty simple and easy to manage.
Dynamic Web Application
A web application that interacts with the client and generates real-time data based on user requests is called a dynamic web application. Dynamic web applications are substantially more complex and intricate on a technical level.
eCommerce Web Application
A web application in the form of a store or shop that promotes buying or selling anything online is classified as e-commerce. This web application requires some core features like electronic payment integration,
CMS Web Apps
A content management system (CMS) software lets users create, manage, and modify content on a website without possessing any technical knowledge of web programming or markup languages.
Portal Web Application
Portal web apps refer to applications that allow authenticated and authorized user access to a company’s data repository. Portals are best suited for businesses and enterprises that let users create a personal profile and include various details such as chats, emails, and forums to publish content.
Single-Page Application
Single Page Application or SPA is a dynamic application that empowers visitors to communicate within a browser with no hindrances at a pace. User requests and responses occur effectively and faster than conventional web applications because SPA executes logic on the internet browser rather than the server.
Multi-Page Application
Multi-page applications or MPAs consist of multiple pages and reload the entire page from the server whenever a user navigates to a different page. MPAs are built using different languages such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, AJAX, jQuery, etc. These applications provide vast information about company products or services.
Progressive Web Apps
Progressive web applications (PWA) are the most popular and well-developed types of web applications that look similar to mobile applications. They are also known as cross-platform web applications, which use the latest browser APIs and progressive enhancement methods to offer a native mobile app experience.
Technology For Developing Web Apps
Database Technologies
Due to its simplicity and multifunctionality, MySQL is one of the most preferred databases utilized for web application development.
Client-Side Programming
To develop the client-side of an app that the users interact with, you can choose highly efficient front-end JavaScript frameworks such as React JS, Angular JS etc.
Server-Side Programming
In Server-Side Programming, Frameworks such as Go, Ruby, Java, PHP, Django & Python are some of the most powerful back-end development technologies.
Benefits of Web Application Development
Speed and Cost
Web application development is faster and more economical than building native apps. Therefore, if the primary goal is to accelerate time-to-market, web application development is the best choice for businesses.
Browser compatibility
A web application runs on the device’s browser using an accessible URL. Modern web applications are compatible with all browsers, such as Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Bing.
Expanded Security
Web applications are typically deployed on dedicated servers, constantly monitored, and managed by experienced server administrators. This is more effective than monitoring hundreds or even thousands of client computers, as with desktop applications.
Reduced operating costs
Web application development is a great way to cut down operating costs. It drives to eliminate unnecessary expenses such as hardware purchases, frequent device updates, and maintenance of numerous systems.
