Web applications (web apps) are websites with functionality and interactive elements. Gmail, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc.
are all web apps that are dynamic, and built for user engagement.
Because web apps are extremely customisable and can perform a wide range of functionality,
they are generally more difficult to build and require an experienced team of software developers.
Common websites, on the other hand, are associated with static visual and text content.
From a user perspective, the core difference between websites and web applications is function.
Websites serve to inform, and web apps serve to help. The content on a website can be viewed, read, or listened to,
but the user cannot manipulate it. Conversely, content on web apps is not only viewable but contains interactive elements.
Unless you’re looking to develop a very simple informational website (a landing page, for example),
chances are your project will require the development a web app.
