If you are thinking of providing a service, solving a problem, or creating a brand-new solution via the internet, this article will help you to make some fundamental decisions. One of the most important questions is how you will decide what the best solution is to develop your idea. There are thousands of possibilities like WordPress, Wix, Shopify, custom development and so on. We will try to help you find the best solution for your specific needs.

Topics:

• Website vs web application

• When are WordPress and Wix enough?

• Unique ideas require custom solutions

• Website vs web application

The first thing we need to clarify: What is the difference between them? After you go through it you can easily choose the direction to start your project.

“Every web application is a website but not every website is a web application.”

A website is usually a static platform, meaning that the content and appearance of the site does not depend on dynamic requirements. It does not offer a unique experience used by the user, and everyone can do only the same, in the same way, for example: get information, fill out a form to book an appointment or contact, or general buy and payment options.

However, a web application is software available via a browser. These web applications are interactive and could be personalized. Their goal is to satisfy unique demands by providing a specific service such as custom functions, data management, transaction processing and so on.

When are WordPress and Wix enough?

In general, WIX, WordPress and similar tools are enough for a company, because they do not offer any unique IT solution on the internet. So, if you are thinking about selling a product, writing a blog, providing information, with some basic features like payment or appointment booking you do not need a custom development solution.

Unique ideas require custom solutions

We at CommIT Smart believe that pioneer ideas and solutions are moving the world forward. Therefore, we are dedicated to fresh and outstanding ideas. If you would like to offer a unique solution or service which requires custom, unusual functionality, we suggest Angular and React as 2 of the best ways to develop your idea.

React was developed by Facebook and was first released in 2013, while Angular was developed by Google and was first released in 2010. Both frameworks are widely used by developers worldwide and have their own set of advantages.

This table highlights some of the key differences between React and Angular from your, as a client, perspective. The choice between the two will depend on the specific needs and requirements of the client, the project's goals, and objectives, and finally on the developer team competencies.

Let’s see some categories as examples when it is recommended to choose a software agency who works with Angular and/or React developers:

• Communication and collaboration tools

• Project management and productivity tools

• E-commerce platforms for products with unique properties

• CRM & ERP tools

• Financial and accounting tools

• HR tools

• Event management and organization

• Sales tools

• Marketing tools

• Data migration and transformation

• PWA

However, if you are looking to build a complex web application that requires a lot of customization and interactivity, then React and Angular would be the better choice. Both frameworks offer a lot of flexibility and allow you to build complex applications quickly. With React and Angular, you can create reusable components, which makes it easier to maintain the code and keep it organized.

Another advantage of using React and Angular is that they offer better performance compared to CMSs like WordPress and Wix. CMSs like WordPress and Wix have a lot of features and plugins that can slow down your website's performance.

In conclusion, depending on your business goals on the internet, you can find a solution. In case you are thinking of a unique service feel free to contact us.
