Mobile Site development

I am planning to revamp my Mobile Site and to give my customers a better performance both in the UI as well as functionalities I preferred to go with Angular 2 for UI and Node.js as my back end component.

I searched on Google and came to know about Ionic 2 which is a platform for building hybrid apps and it gels well with Angular 2 framework. Now I have 2 questions :

  1. Can I use Angular + Ionic for my mobile site development or Ionic to be used only for developing Hybrid Apps?
  2. Can I use Progressive Web Application for my new mobile site?

Which one well suits for developing a Mobile site?

Ionic applications are build with the same techniques and frameworks you could use for building a web app, like Angular 2, HTML and CSS. It is certainly possible to just deploy the app you build with Ionic as a web site so it can be viewed directly in the (mobile) browser, without needing to install a mobile app.

A web app cannot make use of Cordova plugins to interact with the native mobile functionality of course, keep that in mind.

Take a look at the Ionic documentation about progressive web apps: https://ionicframework.com/docs/v2/resources/progressive-web-apps/

Also check which browser versions you need to support, as Ionic doesn't support older browsers: http://ionicframework.com/docs/overview/#browser-support

You can use Ionic framework. Ionic 2 uses Angular 2 and it has an out of the box support for deploying as a website, as well as PWA support. See the official announcement for more info.
