Can we create a web application (web site) using WinJS?

I am trying out WinJS & would like to know if its possible to create a web application using WinJS.

Something that you would typically create using HTML5 + Bootstrap + JS framework (like AngularJS).

I need to create a Line of business that would be hosted on a server & can be accessed through any browser from any device.

I am thinking of considering WinJS because - My primary audience would be on Microsoft devices & so in future if I need to create a Cordova wrapper I can easily create one. - I would benefit from Microsoft support.

Absolutely. As of April 2014, WinJS became an open source, cross-platform framework, no longer exclusive to Windows. It's fully licensed for use on the web, and work has been done to make it compatible with other frameworks. You can find info now on try.buildwinjs.com, specifically http://try.buildwinjs.com/#get that tells you the different ways to acquire libraries for your needs. This includes doing a custom build of a subset of functionality, which takes you to https://github.com/winjs/winjs-modules where the source actually lives.

You can find some details on the Sept 2014 release of WinJS 3.0 at http://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2014/09/17/winjs-everywhere/.
