Web Application Development
With the advances in Internet technologies, software is moving to the Internet. For instance, you can now
send and receive email through a website, you can process credit cards through a website, etc. These were
traditionally software applications that ran on a computer, but they now are accessed by launching your
favorite Internet browser and going to the address.

Easier and Faster Development
In traditional software development, developers had to handle data, and display it in a visually
appealing format for the user. This created tremendous amounts of work. Using website
applications can make use of existing technologies for both data handling and visual formatting.
Easy to Update/Upgrade
Traditionally, developers had to individually update every computer that was using the software.
Utilizing website applications, developers just have to update the server systems that are
serving the application. This brings the workload from potentially thousands to just a few.
Virtually Unlimited Access
Website applications can be hosted on the Internet which can allow access to that application
from virtually anywhere with an Internet connection, at work, at home, in Europe, you name it.
Can Operate Slower
While website applications are extremely versatile, they can and often do operate slower than
typical applications. This is because transactions happen across a network and not on the same
computer. Usually this type of problem can be minimized by proper development planning and by
using special technologies that work to reduce this type of problem.
Usually Harder to Secure
When the Internet was created it was intended as a means of swapping files back and forth and
the users were all trusted. Today, security is a paramount concern and opening up a website
application to the entire world via the Internet can be scary. That is why we use special
technologies to lock our website applications down as tight as possible. Also, we can design
website applications that can run on local intranets within your business that are not accessible
to Internet users thereby greatly increasing your security! There are many ways to battle and
win the security war.
