Web Applications - Technology Guides

Web apps are increasingly looking like a natural choice for businesses - they run in the browser, you don't need to install anything and you can use them on your phone, tablet or computer. This is probably the main reason why small and medium-sized companies are increasingly choosing them, although of course they won't always be the best solution.

In this category, I explain when it's better to bet on a web application instead of a traditional desktop application - and when it's worth holding off. I also compare PWAs (Progressive Web Apps) with classic web apps; PWAs can be great for offline functions, but they won't always replace full-fledged office software.

You'll find practical tips on technology choices - from tried-and-true PHP and pure JavaScript to modern frameworks such as React, Vue.js and Angular - and concrete examples: shipping cost calculators, custom furniture configurators, project management systems or e-learning platforms with video lessons and quizzes.

I will also discuss architecture planning, choice of hosting (shared, VPS, cloud), security basics (SSL, encryption, backups, RODO compliance) and integrations with CRM/ERP and online stores. There will be no shortage of comments on performance, responsiveness and optimization for different devices. Each article includes practical advice on budget, turnaround time and team selection - whether it's better to hire in-house developers or outsource the project.
