Web Application Development

A web application is a software system that is accessed via a web browser (such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Apple’s Safari etc) over the Internet, or via an Intranet (a closed “Internet-like” network within a company with no external access to the public). Web applications are popular due to the ubiquity of the browser as a client (sometimes also called a thin client). Such applications allow users to be creative, to collaborate, to gather and to get tasks accomplished using a simple web browser and access to the Internet. Most, but not all, web applications are coupled with databases and sophisticated business logic to provide serious functionality to its users. In addition, Web applications often have e-commerce functionality. that we have developed for our clients.

The ability to update and maintain web applications without distributing and installing software on potentially thousands of client computers is a key reason for their popularity.

A web application is comprised of a web-based user interface , a database to contain data and other objects, business logic that is specific to the web application and additional specialized plug-in software modules to provide very specific functionality. Web applications can also have e-commerce functionality built in.  Some popular examples of web applications are systems like Travelocity, Kayak.com, Amazon,.com and Facebook.com just to name a few.

DTG web service is a premier Website Development firm. We use the term “web development” as an umbrella term, intended to cover multiple areas of expertise that ultimately result in a web deliverable of some sort. We’ve found that not all “web development” companies can deliver consistent results across these distinct areas of expertise and because of this, we like to split the term into several sub-classifications to help our clients better understand what we can provide them.
