making a new store<\/a> you can use a responsive template that will automatically give your store the right look and feel on all types\u00a0of devices.<\/p>\nMobile website should be\u00a0always the first step because it is easier to do and it has the widest reach. Do it once and all browsers will display it.<\/p>\n
Mobile Apps: Pros and Cons<\/h2>\n
Apps can be more sophisticated and use additional technologies available on the device such as GPS and access to contacts but they are more difficult to make<\/p>\n
Apps in general require more work and they need to be approved (iPhone) and deployed to the app store.<\/p>\n
Apps have a place on your phone as opposed to a browser link, which on mobile, is sometimes difficult to find.<\/p>\n
Apps don\u2019t have browser issues and in general they provide better performance.<\/p>\n
If you are not a well-known store, users will not look for your app but they may still find your mobile website using a browser search engine.<\/p>\n
Mobile apps don\u2019t work with pay per click advertising but they can use display ads.<\/p>\n
