Mobile Apps and Websites
![Page 16: Mobile web vs app (Sharon Grubaugh)](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051515/54c9263e4a7959cf5e8b45e2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Business/Technical Perspective Mobile Websites Functionality: can be accessed quickly and easily. Usability: Accessible on any phone with a web browser Increasing the usability of the
website is essential; just because mobile websites can be accessed on any mobile device doesn't mean that users will want to access the website if it doesn't have a good design.
Discoverability: Mobile websites come up in web searches. Many mobile websites are also being accessed via social media websites and e-mail, so it is also important to divert users directly to the mobile site and not the standard version which can be more difficult to use, thus removing the convenience factor.
Mobile Applications Functionality: A major advantage of mobile applications is the specialized functionality that
they offer. Mobile apps can use the special features of a mobile device, such as GPS, camera, video or phone capabilities.
Usability: Apps have a much higher usability than many mobile websites and offer a more engaging and integrated experience with users. An advantage is guaranteed to work on each device
Discoverability: A big disadvantage of mobile apps is the fact that users must find them and then download and install the application. Apps can therefore be good for established brands with an existing customer base that will receive added value from the application.
