2. Type of your audience and what they will prefer.
3. Which is more accessible, it’s known that mobiles nowadays is more interactive, but a good mobile site can also be navigated from a mobile browser without the need to install the mobile app.

5. Which has better speed, we live in a fast world and no one has time for a slow platform, the speed of the platform is very important, mobile apps are fast but require installation and that could consume time, but in the other hand some mobile apps work offline and do not need an internet connection in contrary to websites that’s always requires internet access.
6. Marketing, Search Engine Optimization can play a role in free marketing, and SEO is only possible for the mobile sites or websites, so if you choose to make a mobile app you will miss a big part of search engine traffic.
7. Online or offline, if your target audience lives in place with good internet connection it’s favorable to make a website, and if your target audience lives in place with bad internet connection or will be used during traveling it’s much better to build a mobile app.
8. Your budget, if you have low budget it’s advisable to develop a website first as it’s cheaper than developing a mobile app, as the latter one must be adjusted to each platform like iOS and Android.
So in the end, it’s advisable for startup business to create a website first that is user friendly than building a highly cost mobile app, unless your business requires a mobile app only.
