App-like experience, no app store required
A Progressive Web App combines the reach of the web with the feel of a native app — installable to the home screen, working offline, and updating instantly. One build, every device, no submission queues.
The reach of the web, the feel of an app
Progressive Web Apps live at a URL but install to the home screen, can send push notifications, run offline, and feel just like a native app. They sidestep the friction of app stores — no review queue, no install prompt, no platform-specific build pipeline. For many businesses, a PWA delivers everything an app needs to do at a fraction of the cost and time.
Why a PWA
One build, every device
Phones, tablets, desktop — your PWA runs everywhere a modern browser does, from a single codebase. No separate iOS and Android teams.
Installable to home screen
Users tap "Add to Home Screen" and your PWA gets its own icon, splash screen, and full-screen experience — no App Store, no Play Store.
Works offline
Service workers cache your app's shell so it loads instantly — and keeps working when your users hit a tunnel, a flight, or a flaky cafe Wi-Fi connection.
Instant updates
Push a new version and every user gets it on their next visit — no waiting on store reviews, no version fragmentation, no users stuck on old releases.
Push notifications
Re-engage your users with timely notifications that work the same as native — without asking them to download anything from a store.
Lower cost
One project instead of three (web + iOS + Android), no store fees, and far less ongoing maintenance — PWAs deliver app-like value at web economics.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Progressive Web Apps.
A native app is built specifically for iOS or Android and distributed through the App Store or Google Play. A PWA is built with web technologies, lives at a URL, and installs from the browser — but once installed, it behaves nearly identically to a native app: home-screen icon, full-screen mode, offline support, push notifications. The trade-off is that PWAs have slightly less access to deep platform features (advanced sensors, certain payment APIs on iOS) — but for most business apps, content-driven products, and customer portals, the difference is invisible to the user.
A PWA is an excellent fit for content-heavy apps, internal tools, customer portals, booking platforms, e-commerce, dashboards, and any product where reach and update speed matter more than deep hardware integration. It's not the right call for projects that need heavy AR, real-time hardware control, advanced bluetooth, or features only available through native APIs. We'll be honest about whether a PWA can do what you need before we recommend it.
On Android, the browser shows an install prompt and the PWA gets added to the home screen and app drawer just like any other app. On iOS, users tap the share button and choose "Add to Home Screen." On desktop, Chrome and Edge show an install icon in the URL bar. Once installed, the PWA opens in its own window, has its own icon, and shows up in the app switcher — the user doesn't think of it as "just a website."
Yes. A service worker caches your app's interface so it loads instantly even on a slow or absent connection. We design offline behaviour intentionally — what users can read offline, what queues for sync when they come back online, what shows a clear "offline" state. Done well, the offline experience feels seamless rather than broken.
