Mobile website or mobile app: what's the difference?

June 22, 2011 by Zabisco Digital

How does your company website look on a mobile phone? With more and more people using the internet on the move, it's important to cater for people who are on mobile phones. If you don't you could be annoying visitors to your site or even missing out on sales.

But there are two main ways to cater for mobile users. You can create a version of your website that's designed for the small screens of mobile handsets. Or you can build a mobile app - a small program that people can download and use on their phone.

To help you understand the difference between the two, we've created this infographic.
