Can someone help suggest the most suitable way to create a Salesforce App?

Hello everyone.

I'm a developer at a company that provides a service for managing event ticket inventory. We have a lot of customers that use Salesforce.

We would like to introduce a Salesforce App that lets our customers initiate the ticket request process on a Salesforce contact, and also enables the customer to view ticket usage history for contacts within the context Salesforce.

I've read a little bit about the various ways a Salesforce App can be built, but I'm not sure what the best approach would be. Should we be focusing on Lighting Componets and Lightning Apps?

Thanks.

In short, yes you should. Lightning Apps will become the defacto way of Salesforce. I use the standard Developer Console in Salesforce for building Lightning Apps, as it has some useful helpers. Also design to this standard: https://www.lightningdesignsystem.com/  as this is the standard lightning UI framework.
