      That depends on your business, your customers and your competitors.

      I’d say it’s easier to get people to visit a website than to install an app.

        I have to agree with my fellow moderator that a website is a better choice in this example. Far too much information for a phone application.

          Of course, the website should be responsive, don’t you think, to be as useful as possible on a phone. Then, in some respects, you get the best of both worlds.

      I totally recommend the option to make a website application. Another advantage you have compared to a simple application is that you can expand the content you want to show faster and cheaper. Also, get an application to require more friction for the user than logging into a website

          Start with having a good look on websites from your competitors. That should give you some ideas about how you want your website to look and what functionality it should have.
          Write a nice document with what you learned.

          Then find a few companies or freelancers that have one or more websites more or less like that in their portfolio. And ask how much the website you imagine would cost if they make it.
