How do I Take My Desktop Website Mobile?
Now just look at what’s going on with mobile marketing! People look at their phone 24/7 hundreds of times a day and never more than an arm reach away. You’d be hard pressed to find a teenager who can carry a conversation without checking his or her phone before the end of it. And seeing elderly playing on THEIR smartphones is quite common these days.
Even if you have a Native mobile app for the Apple Store and Google Play, your website should be mobile-friendly-optimized via either Responsive Web Design(RWD) or an HTML5 Web App to ensure that anyone visiting your site via mobile phones and tablets will have a good user experience. After all, even given the fact that you may have a beautiful Native App Store App, a portion of your target audience will still visit your website from their smartphone’s browser.
So, clearly everyone is sold on mobile marketing! Now, it’s just a question of which platform to go with???
*** If you have a responsive website platform then there is no need for an html5 web app. ***
If your current website is not-responsive which means not looking good on small screen devices(squinting, pinching, zooming, scrolling right), then you could either go with:
1. An HTML5 Web App ie. m.yourdomain.com sub-domain
or
2. Website rebuilt from scratch using Responsive Website Design Technology
Native/Mobile Apps(Apple Store & Google Play), web apps(html5), responsive websites, are the three choices to go mobile. Let’s take a closer look at all 3:
A. Native/Mobile Apps(Apple Store & Google Play)
When you go to the App Store or to Google Play and download an app those are Native Mobile Apps.
B. Web Apps(html5) ie. m.yourdomain.com
Web apps are often confused with native mobile apps. Web apps look and feel very much like mobile apps… however Mobile Native Apps are more robust, for example Push Notifications are only capable with Native Apps. If your website isn’t responsive you can use an HTML5 web app to redirect mobile users on small screens to a friendly mobile version of your website.
C. Responsive Websites
Responsive websites are designed to work on any platform and so it makes the website look great on any device regardless of the size of the screen.

Native Mobile Apps(Apple Store & Google Play) vs Responsive Websites
Should you have a responsive website or a mobile app? You should probably do both, especially since the two are affordable these days. A responsive website and a native mobile app share the same main purpose… they both allow users to interact with a brand through their small-screen mobile phone.
Web Apps(HTML5) vs. Mobile Apps
Most users can’t tell the difference between a web app and a mobile app. They look and act almost exactly the same with one major difference though... Mobile Native Apps can access things on your phone that a web app can’t, such as GPS, your camera, and Push Notifications. Another huge benefit to mobile apps over web apps is that they are readily available where users are searching… the Apple App Store and Google Play.
Responsive Websites vs. Web Apps
A responsive website typically eliminates the need for a web app, and vice-versa. Web apps are most often used to create a mobile version of a non-friendly webpage, ie. non-responsive.
Should I redesign my entire website using Responsive Technology, or should I keep my website as is and instead invest in an HTML5 web app?... which by the way is almost as powerful as a mobile Native Apple and Google App.
Advantages & Disadvantages
Responsive
Advantages of RWD(Responsive Website Design):
• Single website version to maintain
• Do not have to make updates to an HTML5 Web App.
Disadvantages of RWD:
• Requires a complete redesign of your website.
HTML5
Advantages of HTML5 Web App:
• No need to redo your desktop website.
• Is close to the mobile power and awesome user experience of a Native App Store App
Disadvantages of HTML5:
• Needs to be built from scratch.
• Will have time spent updating this HTML5 platform.
• Will also have to spend time updating desktop website.
• It takes the same development skills to develop an HTML5 app as it does a Native App.
• It shows up as m.yourdomain.com whereas with Responsive it is always the straight yourdomain.com.
We hope this helps you have a better understanding of how to approach the mobile market with your brand. A responsive website combined with a mobile App Store app is ideal and the answer to all of your needs. Or if your website isn’t responsive and you don’t want to redo it because of time or money, then an html5 web app is the answer to your website woes on mobile. The mobile web app will have a more specific focus than the website and will interact with users in a way that a website cannot. However setting up the back-end of an HTML5 web app is quite tricky and we recommend going with a responsive website over the web app.

- We only build Websites that are Responsive, make sure that is what your builder did for you.
- HTML5(markup language) is the “tool” seen used to build Native Apps, Responsive Websites, and Mobile Web Apps.
