You’ve all seen web sites AND Web Applications but what is the difference?

Web Sites display information in the form of pictures, text and flash animations to see a companies products, get their location or contact them thru phone or e-mail.

A Web Application looks like a web site, but with one added feature. A web app has an executing program, running back on the web server that does other things.
One thing it does is that it connects to a database, where data is read from or written to. If you have to “Sign In” with a password, you are probably accessing a web application.
Your password is being checked with one stored in the database, to make sure that you are who you say you are.

Shopping carts and message boards are web apps that you might see on the web. These are pre-built, and your web site designer may be able find a free app and incorporate it into your web site for you.

Do you want a custom built web application, that does something other than sell products or store messages? - Maybe remote data input or data retrieval…
