Web & Mobile — frequently asked questions
Should we build a native or cross-platform mobile app?
Cross-platform (Flutter or React Native) ships one codebase to iOS and Android and suits most business apps; native is worth it when you need maximum performance, deep platform integration or heavy graphics. It's a decision about features and budget, not prestige.
Which front-end framework should we use — React, Angular or Vue?
All three are production-ready. React has the largest ecosystem and talent pool, Angular is a batteries-included choice for large enterprise apps, and Vue is approachable and fast to build with. Team familiarity is often the deciding factor.
How important is website performance for SEO?
Very — Core Web Vitals (loading, interactivity and visual stability) are a Google ranking signal and directly affect conversion. A fast, stable site both ranks better and keeps more visitors.
