# Deployment in Web Mode

As you move from development into end-to-end testing and production, you will begin to interact with your application in web mode more often. Web mode refers to accessing your application from a normal browser -- where it runs as pure JavaScript -- as it is ultimately intended to be deployed.

To create a web mode version of your module, you compile it using either the "Compile/Browse" button available in the hosted browser window or the command-line compiler `com.google.gwt.dev.GWTCompiler`.

Web mode demonstrates what makes GWT unusual: when your application is launched in web mode, it runs completely as JavaScript and does not require any browser plug-ins or JVM.
