When we talk about digital platforms, it is common to hear about websites and WebApps, although both terms refer to solutions accessible through a browser, they have fundamental differences in terms of functionality, interaction and purpose. But what does this have to do with innovative NFC and cashless technology? If you work in event management, understanding these distinctions is key, as digital platforms play a crucial role in the organization and attendee experience.
In this article, we’ll explain the differences between a website and a WebApp, and how technologies like cashless and NFC integrate with these platforms to create a more convenient, efficient and secure event experience.
A web page is a set of digital documents that are viewed through a browser. It is primarily designed to display static or semi-static content, such as text, images or videos. Interaction on a web page is usually limited, and is generally focused on providing information, whether about products, services or events.
For example, when presenting Bracelit services on the web, you can find information about dates, location, schedules, products we offer… The user in this case only sees the informative content.
On the other hand, a WebApp is an application that runs inside a browser and allows a deeper interaction. Webapps not only present content, but also allow to perform dynamic tasks, buy tickets, recharge RFID wristbands for events…
An example of this is an event management platform where users not only consult information about the event, but also register, buy tickets, and can interact with other people or make cashless payments.
The concept of cashless has transformed the way payments are handled at events. This technology allows users to make payments without the need for cash, using their cards or wristbands enabled with NFC technology.
In this case, an event website such as Bracelit displays information on how the cashless payment system works, how to purchase tickets or reload balance on a cashless card. However, the actual interaction with the payment system does not usually happen directly via the web, but relies on a WebApp. These are the ones that allow a direct and dynamic interaction with the cashless payment system.
For example, through a web app, event attendees can register their information, top up their NFC wristbands or manage their balance virtually.
Understanding the difference between a web and a WebApp is fundamental to take full advantage of the innovative technologies that are transforming event management. While web pages provide basic information and are limited in interactivity, the web apps that we design for each event allow you to integrate the most advanced technology that we offer from Bracelit such as cashless, RFID or NFC and totem to create a more fluid, interactive and efficient experience for users and promoters.
