MWA refers to Modern Web Applications and is termed as a set of tools and methods of thinking resulting in modular, lightweight, and flexible applications. They are available round-the-clock all across the world and are compatible across all screen sizes and devices.

These applications are renowned for better security, scalability, flexibility, and can handle the demand without compromising the user experience. Taking the example of PWA (Progressive Web Applications), the users download the mobile versions of the website on their phones for browsing offline.

Various types of web applications are developed based on the content display:

Static Website Applications: These are the stagnant pages developed in CSS, jQuery, CSS, and HTML. These websites are non-flexible and the content is not displayed. The variations in this could be made by the webmaster by downloading the HTML code, revamping it, and then hosting it again.

Dynamic Website Applications: These applications include a CMS (Content Management System) in which the administrators can modify or edit the content. These apps are mainly developed with ASP and PHP. The content gets updated with the user interaction and implements many other features.

E-Commerce Applications: The applications resemble the e-commerce or m-commerce website where the developer creates the managerial panel for administrator for revamping the entries. Electronic payments are permissible through credit cards and PayPal. The apps fit into mobile devices as native applications.

Animated Web Applications: Flash technology is used for displaying the content with animated effects. The animations are more engaging, modern, and creative. They are not suitable for SEO optimization and web positioning.

Portal web Applications: These applications are accessible through the web and have interactive tools delivering browsers, email, forums, and much more. The purpose of these web apps is to track user activities on the websites.

Website apps with CMS: These apps are common among the media, articles, blogs, and the places on which there is a regular update on the texts. The platforms for the same are Joomla, Drupal, and WordPress.

The time required for building a web app can vary as per the different projects, scope, user flows, and designs. The development includes the various steps, including the understanding of the requirements, scaling and deployment, and time is taken for understanding the complexity of the application.
