Web application
A web application lets people complete tasks in a browser, such as managing a record or making a booking.
How it works
It connects an interface to services and sometimes a database. Permissions must be enforced on the server even when the interface hides certain buttons.
Hypothetical small business example
A business could give customers a space to track requests without exposing the internal back office.
Benefits and limitations
Access from different devices without a traditional installation.
Network access, compatibility, accessibility and security still need design work. A responsive layout does not prove usability.
Common question
Can a web application work offline?
Only when that requirement is designed in. Synchronization and data conflicts then need additional rules.
