These areas basically concentrated on creation of sites which would work almost as efficiently as it can on a PC browser. And this web design service has triggered off a debate among the technocrats - Which is better RWD (responsive web development) or mobile web apps. Since, both are better and superior in their own ways, it is difficult to come to a conclusion. However, we still have a chance to compare some the salient features.

Mobile apps As compared to RWD, Mobile web apps do costs a little higher. Since, for mobile web apps, two versions are required – One version is used for the Mobile devices, while to be uploaded for usual websites. Hence, the overall cost of development increases.


Principle

Performance

Responsive Web development The overall performance of a Responsive Web framework by and large depends on the bandwidth. It may not work effectively while the server sends larger multimedia or text content.
