What if you could give your website the power of a native app without the complexity and cost of building separate iOS and Android applications? Progressive Web Apps make this possible. PWAs combine the reach of the web with the capabilities of native apps through service workers, web app manifests, and modern web APIs. These applications work offline, load instantly, send push notifications, and can be installed on users' home screens—all while running in a browser. The technical foundation of PWAs is fascinating: service workers act as a proxy between your app and the network, enabling offline functionality and background sync. Web app manifests provide metadata that makes your site installable, and modern APIs unlock device features like push notifications and geolocation. Whether you want to enable offline access, improve performance, or provide app-like features without app store approvals, PWAs deliver. We leverage service workers, web app manifests, and modern web APIs to create experiences that feel native but are built with web technologies. From content platforms to e-commerce stores, we build PWAs that perform like apps.
Here's a reality check: 80% of mobile apps are deleted within 90 days of installation. Users download them, try them once, and forget they exist. Meanwhile, building native apps costs $50,000-$200,000 and requires separate development for iOS and Android. A retail client came to us frustrated—they'd spent $180,000 on native apps that only 12% of their customers actually used. We built them a Progressive Web App instead. It cost $35,000, worked on both iOS and Android, and 68% of their mobile customers started using it within the first month. The best part? Users didn't need to download anything from an app store—they just visited the website and added it to their home screen. PWAs give you native app features (offline access, push notifications, home screen installation) without the app store headaches, development costs, or user friction. We build PWAs that people actually use, not apps that sit forgotten on the second page of someone's phone.

PWA development involves unique technical considerations like service workers, caching strategies, and offline functionality. The journey from website to installable PWA involves six essential phases, each requiring careful attention to performance, offline capabilities, and user experience. We approach PWA development systematically, starting with understanding your offline needs and ending with an app that feels native. Throughout development, you'll see regular progress, test offline functionality, and provide feedback that shapes the final PWA.
First, we need to understand your business, your goals, who your users are, and what you want to achieve. We'll talk about your requirements, what offline features you need, what push notifications make sense, and any special requirements. We'll figure out what PWA features make sense for your application and how to implement them. This upfront planning makes sure we build a PWA that actually works for your business.
Now we design your service worker and caching strategy. Service workers are what make PWAs work offline and load fast. We create caching strategies that make sense for your content, design offline functionality, and plan how data will sync when connectivity is restored. You'll see the caching strategy and offline features planned out. We want everything designed right before we start building.
This is where we actually build your PWA. We implement service workers, create web app manifests, add offline functionality, set up push notifications, and make sure everything works seamlessly. We'll show you progress regularly, so you know exactly what's happening. You won't be left wondering if we're working on it.
Before your PWA goes live, we test everything. We test offline functionality, push notifications, installation, performance, and user experience across different devices and browsers. We make sure everything works offline, notifications work properly, and the app installs correctly. We want to catch any issues before your users do.
When everything's ready, we deploy your PWA. We handle the technical setup, service worker registration, manifest configuration, and all that stuff. We also train you and your team on how to manage content, update the PWA, and use all the features. You'll know how to run your PWA, not just how to look at it.
Your PWA is live, but we're not done. We monitor how it's performing, help you optimize performance, improve offline functionality, and keep everything updated. As your business grows, we help your PWA grow with it. We're your long-term partner, not just someone who builds and disappears.

Have questions? We've got answers. Here are the most common questions we receive about our PWA Development Services - Progressive Web Apps services.
It really depends on what features you need and how complex your application is. A simple PWA might take 4-6 weeks, while a complex one could take 2-3 months. We usually start with core PWA features and add more capabilities from there. When we talk about your project, we'll give you a realistic timeline based on what you actually need—not some generic estimate.
PWAs have features that regular websites don't—offline functionality, push notifications, home screen installation, and faster loading through service workers. Regular websites need internet to work, while PWAs can work offline. PWAs also feel more like native apps with installation and push notifications. If you want app-like features without building native apps, PWAs are the answer.
Yes! PWAs work on iOS, though some features have limitations compared to Android. Offline functionality, home screen installation, and basic PWA features work on iOS. Push notifications on iOS require additional setup. We build PWAs that work on both iOS and Android, handling platform differences appropriately.
Yes, absolutely! We can convert your existing website to a PWA by adding service workers, web app manifests, offline functionality, and push notifications. We'll analyze your current site and add PWA features that make sense. Just show us what you have, and we'll tell you how we'd approach the conversion and what to expect.
PWAs can send push notifications just like native apps. We implement push notification systems that work on supported browsers and platforms. Users can opt-in to receive notifications, and your PWA can send them updates, reminders, or important information. Push notifications help keep users engaged and bring them back to your app.
Great question! The cost really depends on what features you need, how complex your application is, and any special requirements. Instead of giving you a generic price range, we'd love to hear about your specific project. Share your requirements with us, and we'll analyze everything, understand what you're trying to build, and then give you a detailed breakdown of the pricing and costs. That way, you'll know exactly what you're paying for and why.
PWAs can be installed on home screens but aren't typically in app stores like native apps. However, PWAs can be submitted to some app stores like Google Play and Microsoft Store. We can help you submit your PWA to app stores if that's important for your business. Most PWAs work great with home screen installation without needing app stores.
Performance is super important for PWAs. We optimize service workers, implement efficient caching strategies, minimize load times, and ensure your PWA loads fast. We test performance across devices and connections, optimize assets, and implement best practices. Your PWA will load quickly and perform well, even on slow connections.
Yes! We offer different support options—updates, performance optimization, new features, and technical help. We can customize a maintenance plan that fits what you need. We also monitor how your PWA is performing and help you improve it over time. PWAs need regular updates to stay current with browser changes.
We include service worker implementation, web app manifest, offline functionality, push notifications (if needed), testing, deployment, and initial support. You'll get all the code, documentation, and we'll train your team if needed. If you need additional features, advanced offline capabilities, or ongoing maintenance, we can add those on. When we talk about your project, we'll give you a clear list of what's included and what's extra, so there are no surprises.
