Be sure to consider whether you can run your blog or online magazine alone, or whether you are better off finding a team of authors to create the content for you. This may be a good choice since one of the most important things when running a blog is providing consistent content.

Whether it’s an app for project management, bookkeeping, or calculating travel expenses – it’s more and more common that <strong>software</strong> does not need to be downloaded, but can instead be used as a <strong>browser </strong>web app.</p> <p>Just as with a corporate website, a web app will need a few pages that provide information about functionality, benefits and prices. However, unlike traditional business card websites, the visitor can start using the advertised product or tool as soon as they have registered.</p> <p>Trello is one of the most well-known project management tools, and the application is designed as a pure web app. Users just need Internet access and can log into the app from anywhere through their browser. Web apps are a convenient solution, especially for remote teams.</p> </div> <div class="aligncenter ce-gallery" data-ce-columns="1" data-ce-images="1"> <div class="ce-outer"> <div class="ce-inner"> <div class="row ce-row"> <div class="col ce-column"> <figure class="rounded-4 w-auto mx-auto image position-relative overflow-hidden d-flex flex-column my-4 contain-style" style="max-width: 914px"><a href="https://www.ionos.com/digitalguide/fileadmin/DigitalGuide/Screenshots_2020/EN-trello-web-app.png" aria-label="🔎 Web app website for Trello" data-bs-toggle="modal" data-bs-target="#modal-55754" data-lightbox="55754" data-title="" class="img-holder d-block pe-none pe-lg-auto link-internal" target="_top"><img src="https://www.ionos.com/digitalguide/fileadmin/_processed_/0/b/csm_EN-trello-web-app_377cb2784e.webp" width="914" height="405" srcset="https://www.ionos.com/digitalguide/fileadmin/_processed_/0/b/csm_EN-trello-web-app_b7e76e3532.webp 750w,https://www.ionos.com/digitalguide/fileadmin/_processed_/0/b/csm_EN-trello-web-app_101bfa8be9.webp 644w,https://www.ionos.com/digitalguide/fileadmin/_processed_/0/b/csm_EN-trello-web-app_4eda73a5e0.webp 554w,https://www.ionos.com/digitalguide/fileadmin/_processed_/0/b/csm_EN-trello-web-app_16df9922b1.webp 704w,https://www.ionos.com/digitalguide/fileadmin/_processed_/0/b/csm_EN-trello-web-app_79553d6573.webp 524w,https://www.ionos.com/digitalguide/fileadmin/_processed_/0/b/csm_EN-trello-web-app_dcc4564eed.webp 396w,https://www.ionos.com/digitalguide/fileadmin/_processed_/0/b/csm_EN-trello-web-app_9ed53fdc85.webp 304w,https://www.ionos.com/digitalguide/fileadmin/_processed_/0/b/csm_EN-trello-web-app_9ed53fdc85.webp 304w" sizes="(min-width: 1680px) 750px,(min-width: 1400px) 644px,(min-width: 1200px) 554px,(min-width: 768px) 704px,(min-width: 576px) 524px,(min-width: 412px) 396px,(min-width: 320px) 304px,(max-width:319px) 304px" title="Web app website for Trello" alt="Web app website for Trello" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="img-fluid d-block mx-auto img-format-landscape w-100 rounded-4 border border-1 border-brand-gray-100" ></a><figcaption class="img-caption fs-sm text-start mx-2 d-block"> After registering, users can make use of the Trello web app directly from their browser. / Source: https://trello.com/ </figcaption></figure><div class="modal fade lightbox" id="modal-55754" tabindex="-1" aria-label="" aria-hidden="true" style="display: none"><div class="modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered modal-xl" style="max-width: 914px"><div class="modal-content overflow-hidden rounded-4"><div class="modal-body p-0 m-0"><figure class="rounded-4 w-auto mx-auto image position-relative overflow-hidden align-items-center d-flex flex-column contain-style"><img src="https://www.ionos.com/digitalguide/fileadmin/_processed_/0/b/csm_EN-trello-web-app_377cb2784e.webp" width="914" height="405" title="Web app website for Trello" alt="Web app website for Trello" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="img-fluid d-block mx-auto img-format-landscape w-100 rounded-4 border border-1 border-brand-gray-100"><figcaption class="img-caption fs-sm text-start mx-2 d-block"> After registering, users can make use of the Trello web app directly from their browser. / Source: https://trello.com/ </figcaption></figure></div><button type="button" class="btn-close position-absolute top-0 end-0 me-2 mt-2" data-bs-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close" style="filter:invert(1);background-color:rgba(0,0,0,.5)"></button></div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="c242209" class="textmedia" data-ctype="textmedia"> <h2> Conclusion: Which type of website suits you best? </h2> <div class="text-row ce-textpic ce-center ce-below"> <div class="ce-bodytext"> <p>Our overview should have given you a hint as to how different websites can be.
