What is the difference between web applications and websites?

Bubble.io is an amazing platform. As of Oct 2021, bubble’s strength is in its web application side. The weakness is its website/SEO capabilities.

Here is a quick reference about what we mean by website vs web application.

Website

This is usually the shop front. The marketing side of things.

• A Landing page, About Page, Contact Us page, Blog section etc.

Web Application 

This is the product delivering the service

• Sign up/Login
• Dashboard
• Interactive Search/Filter/Sort
• In-App messaging
• Generally things behind a login.

We usually recommend thinking of a product in two parts. A website and a Web App

The website (the main shop front advertising the service). Other platforms like WordPress/Webflow/Wix/Squarespace etc are way better at this than bubble. E.g. If you want a blog, we need to build a mini WordPress in bubble by hand. And the result won’t be that great.

The web application (the back office delivering the service). This is the self-service core digital product. Bubble.io is the best NoCode platform for this.

At AZKY Tech Labs, we are great at the web application part built using bubble.io. If you need assistance setting-up the website part, we do have some partners we work with for WordPress Development, please reach out to us and we’ll let you know.
