Web Development
Web apps that install on any device, work offline, and deliver near-native performance — without the cost and friction of native app development and App Store distribution.

What it is
A Progressive Web App (PWA) is a web application that uses modern browser APIs — service workers, Web App Manifests, push notifications — to deliver installation, offline operation, and native-like performance directly from the browser, without App Store distribution.
What you get
PWAs fill the gap when a mobile-optimised website is not enough but a native app is more friction and cost than the use case warrants. Users can install directly from the browser, get push notifications, and use the app offline — without going to an app store, and without you paying 30% to Apple or Google.
We build PWAs with Next.js or Vite, Workbox for service worker management, and IndexedDB for offline data storage. Service worker caching strategies are configured per asset type — static assets are cached on install, API responses use stale-while-revalidate or network-first depending on data freshness requirements.
Where PWAs have historically fallen short is iOS — Safari's support for push notifications and some service worker features has lagged Chrome. We test on real devices across iOS and Android during development and document any capability gaps so you can make an informed decision about whether a PWA is the right fit.
Key capabilities
Each engagement is scoped to your requirements — these are the core capabilities we bring to the table.
Offline-first architecture with IndexedDB and background sync
App shell model for instant loading
Lighthouse PWA audit score 90+
Background fetch for large file downloads
Device API access: camera, geolocation, file system
Our process
A structured, engineering-led approach that moves from understanding your goals to a production system — with no handoff surprises.
Typical engagement
8–16 WEEKS
We map your goals, constraints, and existing infrastructure. Scope is defined and success criteria agreed before any development begins.
We design the technical approach, select the right tools, and produce a milestone-driven delivery plan with no ambiguity.
Iterative development with regular demos. Code reviews, test coverage, and documentation happen in parallel — not at the end.
Production release with monitoring setup and handover documentation. We stay close during the first weeks post-launch.
Yes, with caveats. Safari on iOS 16.4+ supports push notifications and most service worker features. Older iOS versions have reduced functionality. Home screen installation works on all iOS versions via Safari Share menu. We test on real iOS devices and document any feature gaps during development.
PWAs are better when: your primary surface is the web and you want a single codebase, you need to avoid App Store distribution friction, your budget does not support parallel native development, or your users primarily access on desktop rather than mobile. Native apps are better when deep platform integration, complex animations, or performance-intensive features are required.
A PWA is your website — just enhanced with offline capability, installability, and push notifications. There is no separate codebase to maintain. The same URL that opens in a browser installs as an app when users choose to. SEO is identical to a standard web application.
