All the Benefits of an App, None of the App Store Friction
We build Progressive Web Apps that load instantly, work without a signal, and sit on your users' home screens — all from a single codebase that runs on every device. Businesses that cannot justify the cost or timeline of two native apps use PWAs to ship a premium mobile experience fast.
Most Businesses Do Not Need Two Native Apps to Start
The assumption that a mobile presence requires separate iOS and Android apps has led thousands of businesses to delay shipping anything while they wait for a budget that justifies two parallel development tracks. Progressive Web Apps break that assumption. A single web codebase, enhanced with a service worker and a web app manifest, delivers installability, offline support, and push notifications across every device — without an App Store approval process standing between you and your users.
The technology has matured significantly. Service workers are supported in every major browser. Web Push works on Android and, since iOS 16.4, on iPhones with the PWA installed. Lighthouse scores above 90 are routinely achievable with proper architecture. The gap between what a PWA can do and what a native app can do has narrowed to a small set of hardware-specific APIs — and for the vast majority of business use cases, that gap does not matter.
We have built PWAs for field service teams who need job forms that work in basements without signal, for retailers who want an app-like shopping experience without the friction of a download, and for SaaS products that need a mobile interface before they can justify a native app investment. In each case, the right architecture from day one — not a generic service worker template applied to an existing site — was the difference between a PWA that impressed users and one that barely qualified for the label.
Everything Included. Nothing Hidden.
Every Progressive Web Apps engagement is scoped, priced, and delivered in full — agreed upfront with no surprise extras and no work handed off to anyone else.
Exactly What We Deliver
No vague deliverables. Every Progressive Web Apps engagement comes with a clear set of files, assets, and outputs.
Production-Ready PWA Codebase
A complete, documented codebase with service worker, web app manifest, and offline data strategy implemented. All code is version-controlled and handed over with setup documentation.
Push Notification System
A working Web Push integration with subscription management, a simple admin interface for sending notifications, and tested delivery on Android Chrome and iOS Safari. Includes VAPID key setup and a basic segmentation model.
Lighthouse Audit Report
A full Lighthouse audit across Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, SEO, and PWA categories on both mobile and desktop — with all findings documented and scores of 90+ confirmed before handover.
Offline Behaviour Documentation
A clear written spec of exactly which data is cached, what the user sees in each offline state, and how the sync queue behaves — so your team understands what the app does without signal and can answer user questions accurately.
PWA Lighthouse Audit
Full Lighthouse PWA audit report documenting installability, offline capability, and performance scores before launch. You receive a scored breakdown for each category with prioritised recommendations for any items below the 90-point threshold.
Push Notification Setup
Configured web push system with subscription management and a template for your first campaign ready to send. Includes VAPID key generation, a tested delivery pipeline on Android and iOS, and a simple admin interface for sending future notifications.
From Kickoff to Results in 4 Steps
A clear, structured process so you always know where things stand — no guessing, no surprises along the way.
Audit & Architecture Planning
We assess your requirements, target audience devices, and offline data needs to determine the right caching strategy, data model, and API design before any code is written. This step prevents the most common PWA pitfall — offline behaviour that works in the demo but breaks in production.
UI Design & Prototype
Every screen is designed mobile-first in Figma, following native-app interaction patterns rather than desktop web conventions. An interactive prototype lets you validate the experience on a real phone before development begins.
Build, Service Worker & Testing
We build the app shell, implement the service worker with environment-appropriate caching strategies, and test offline behaviour rigorously across iOS Safari, Android Chrome, and desktop browsers. Push notification delivery is tested end-to-end in staging.
Deploy & Performance Validation
We deploy to a CDN-backed infrastructure optimised for Core Web Vitals, run Lighthouse audits across target devices, and confirm the install prompt triggers correctly on Android. A post-launch check at 30 days catches any caching or sync issues that only appear with real usage patterns.
Problems We've Seen — and How We Prevent Them
These are real situations that come up. Here's how our process makes each one impossible.
Two separate native app codebases cost too much to maintain.
We build a single PWA codebase that runs on iOS, Android, and desktop. Updates deploy once and reach every user instantly. You cut build time and eliminate the ongoing cost of two parallel codebases.
App Store friction stops many interested users from installing.
We implement a browser install prompt that adds the app to the home screen in one tap. No App Store account or storage warning is required. Lower friction consistently converts more visitors into active users.
Field staff can't use the app where there's no mobile signal.
We configure a service worker that caches the app shell and job data on device. Offline submissions queue automatically and sync when connectivity returns. Work continues uninterrupted regardless of signal strength.
The mobile experience is just the desktop website scaled down.
We design PWAs as mobile-first products with app shell architecture from the start. Touch interactions, fast loads, and native navigation patterns are built in. Users do not recognise it as a website — they use it like an app.
What Makes Our Approach Different
We don't just deliver a project — we make sure it actually performs for your business after launch.
Ship Faster Than a Native App
A PWA is a single codebase that runs on every platform — you build once rather than maintaining separate iOS and Android projects. This cuts development time significantly and halves the ongoing maintenance burden when your product evolves.
Works Without a Signal
Service workers cache your app's shell and critical data so users can open the app, view their content, and submit forms even with no connectivity. Queued actions sync automatically when the connection returns — no data lost, no frustrated users.
Push Notifications Without an App
Web Push lets you re-engage users with timely, personalised notifications on Android and desktop — reaching them outside your website without requiring an App Store download. Opt-in rates for web push are often higher than for native apps because the friction of installation is removed.
Discoverable and Indexable
Unlike native apps, PWAs are indexed by search engines — every page can rank in Google, and users can land directly on relevant content without first visiting an app store listing. This means your SEO investment and your mobile experience reinforce each other rather than competing for the same user.
