Improve User Experience Using Apps, Components, Plugins, and Widgets
Apps, Components, Plugins, and Widgets can extend the functionality of your website. These tools are designed to add new features, enhance user experience, and improve overall website performance. With the vast number of options available, it can be overwhelming to decide which ones to include on your site. In this article, we will explore the differences between apps, widgets, plugins, modules, and components and how they can benefit your website.
As a professional website development company, we take a different approach to managing our clients. We never pretend to be like "the great and powerful Oz" behind the curtain creating magical websites from scratch. As a matter of fact, we often tell our clients exactly how we achieve the objectives that they hire us to accomplish. We take this approach because we realize that clients who embrace their administrative control panels (no matter what platform) are more likely to be successful. This is why we take the time to train our clients how to navigate and use various sections of their website admin section, including how to update articles, pages, posts, apps, widgets, plugins, components and modules.
Before you begin extending your websites functionality, you must first understand what the various website platforms are, examples being Wordpress, Shopify, and Joomla. Reason being, is that each of these platforms refers to their added or extended functions something different.
