What experience do you want while using computers?
I am fed up with errors thrown by computer programs, and with challenges posed by them and by their developers.
In this dire context, I welcome you to a conversation that would help us choose when we use (application) programs and when we use Web sites.
One can consider many aspects. As usual, one person would not cover all of them in one message.

  1. The Internet is the computer network that helps us manage the Web of data.

  2. It seems one can call a Web site a "Web app".
    Then we could say we all have been using Web apps almost all the time.

  3. A Web site includes at least one Web page.
    Many Web pages are static.
    With many Web pages one can hardly do anything as a visitor. One can give them hardly any command.
    On some Web sites, one can create an account and at least try to exchange some messages with their managers.
    If one can create an account and give some commands, one is using some software, even if one doesn't know its name or who has made it.
    When you're using a computer, do you prefer to give it the commands that make it help you achieve something, or to have it do hardly anything for you?
    When you want to share some data sets, how easy do you want it for people to use them?

  4. Web sites are public.
    Many of them are public not because their owners want this, but because they want to increase the probability that people will find these data sets. A similar method: one walks around to share some information, e.g. by handing out leaflets.
    People do this in order to increase the probability of carrying out certain activities together with others, e.g. trading.
    Computer engineers try to make computers support such attempts better and better.
    Some created search "engines", i.e. computer programs that search Web sites. It seems they started with this because the Web included mainly Web sites.
    But they're not enough, and it's more useful to search other data sets. It seems I've felt like this at least since February 2014.

  5. Many Web sites are visited by rather few people.
    One can try one's luck. To increase the probability that anyone would find one's content (mainly words), one can e.g. adjust the SEO settings or pay Google to link to one's Web address more often.
    They wrote:
    a. "making your site better for search engines"
    I'm not sure that people want to adjust their data sets to software. Is it the other way around? Do you prefer tools and service providers to serve you?
    When a service provider asks a service user to work, I find it difficult to understand why one should consider the services of that provider.
    b. "improve our presence on the web"
    Poor English for an old fashion. You are present (even without the Internet). You don't need Google to state whether you are, do you?
    To increase the probability that your computer helps you carry out activities that serve your goals, we can set up (and offer) software that helps you share a goal and discuss how best to achieve it.
    Example: You want to enjoy a benefit.
    Either you ask for (professional) advice on how to get this benefit, or you request a service or a product that helps you get this benefit.
    When you make a request, you can consider one offer or more.
    By repeating actions like this one, people can improve how they interact remotely, e.g. how they trade.
    When one makes an offer, one shares a custom data set that is easy to use, so it's easy to sell. One doesn't need to pay for Web site design, Web domains, or advertising.
    We can talk in detail about such things.

  6. I don't want to visit Web sites because:
    6.1 I don't like how some of them look.
    6.1 Some links are incorrect.
    6.3 Many are so similar:
    6.3.1 some large text
    6.3.2 too much boasting
    6.3.3 Unclear, ineffective communication, e.g. by sharing a short film with so-called music. When I want to evaluate a provider, I don't want them to start a music player.
    6.3.4 Images that might hardly have to do with anything, in many cases not with the presented services.
    6.3.5 I don't care for "Web site chat".
    We use actual communication programs.
    We know with whom we're communicating, so we don't keep asking people for their e-mail address.
    I want to see one's offerings in our databases, so that it is easy to understand when to use them.
    One can also ask us to make available information about one's services when people need it. When one relies on a search engine or one pays for advertising, one plays a lottery. We work hard to match demand with supply according to more useful criteria, so that the demander and the supplier benefit more.

  7. Graphics
    7.1 I prefer choosing a (dark) theme in a program to trying to adapt my eyes and my brain to each Web site.
    Example: I don't find startAdam.com readable.
    7.2 I find graphic design valuable in programs.
    I don't want to see how well one can draw on a Web site. I think that one usually tries to get something done for one's households or teams.

  8. "Custom" domains
    8.1 Sometimes one would redirect visitors of address 1 to address 2.
    Some software developers allow one to make available data from [subdomain].[developer-domain].[tld] at: [my-domain].[tld]
    This failed with Odoo. When we created magazin.sol.enterprises, one couldn't pay in this shop using Stripe. There's nothing at that subdomain any longer.
    So we'll just use: piata-sol.odoo.com
    By using this method, one knows who provides the software.
    We can discuss what you want from a marketplace. This can make us choose other software.
    We want to stop renting domain names until you need one for ordering something with us. Until then, We agree on how we communicate Sol-Global-Management/communication#3.
    8.2 Some teams, even some software developers, refuse to interact with your e-mail address at certain domains rented by you.
    Then we can rent Web domains through software developers.

  9. When anybody needs a Web site, Sol Computing can make a simple or complex site that is safe and easy to use.
    We can discuss the entire data management plan, so that any Web site fits well in your data processing procedures.

  10. A program manager seems useful.
    Is it going to be similar to a Web browser?
    I'm using a Web browser to manage "Web" applications.

  11. "Workplace verified using work email"
    It is easy to rent a Web domain and create e-mail addresses at it. Because it's not easy to guarantee with e-mail that an individual represents an organisation, we can help you manage data sets like formal deeds and share e.g. publicly clear provisions about such powers.
