Website vs Mobile App – මොකක්ද හොඳ?
Website සහ mobile app දෙකම different strengths තියෙන platforms. Most businesses සඳහා discoverability/shareable links සඳහා website first practical; frequent logged-in use, device capabilities, push/complex workflows සඳහා app justify වෙන්න පුළුවන්.
මේකේ main idea එක
Website browser එකෙන් install නැතුව access කළ හැකි අතර links Google Search/social/QR වල share කරන්න easy. Native/mobile app repeated use, push notifications, offline/device features වගේ cases වල richer experience දෙන්න පුළුවන්—but separate development/store distribution/updates තියෙනවා.
Practical checklist
- User frequency: once/month vs daily
- Need Google/search discovery ද
- Push notifications essential ද
- Camera/GPS/background/device integration depth
- Offline capability
- Login/personalized dashboard complexity
- Development/maintenance budget
- iOS + Android + web support need
Sri Lanka business එකකට apply කරන්නේ කොහොමද?
Restaurant menu, villa info, company profile, lead generation වගේ use cases website first. Delivery driver, field staff, loyalty, chat/calling, frequent customer operations වගේ use cases app stronger වෙන්න පුළුවන්.
Step-by-step plan
- User jobs list කරන්න
- Website can solve them? test කරන්න
- App-only benefits identify කරන්න
- MVP platform choose කරන්න
- Usage data පස්සේ second platform add කරන්න
Quick Note: “App තියෙන එක premium” කියන reason එක alone build reason එකක් නෙමේ. User repeated value ලැබෙනවද කියන එක බලන්න.
