Progressive Web Apps That Users Install, Use Offline, and Return to Daily

Google reports that PWAs see a 68% increase in mobile traffic with 15x faster load times. We build end-to-end progressive web apps with service workers, offline caching, push notifications, and home screen installability that deliver native app experiences through a single web codebase.

PWA Development

End-to-end progressive web app development with service workers, offline support, push notifications, installability, and native app-like experiences across all devices.

Smartphone displaying popular social media apps like Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, and Snapchat.

What's Included

Everything you get with our PWA Development

PWA Architecture and Service Workers

Application shell architecture, service worker registration with caching strategies per resource type, and offline fallback pages that keep your app functional without connectivity

Installability and App Experience

Web app manifest configuration, install prompt timing, splash screens, standalone display mode, and themed navigation that makes your PWA indistinguishable from a native app

Push Notifications and Background Sync

Web push notification implementation with permission strategies, user segmentation, and background sync that queues offline actions and replays them when connectivity returns

Our PWA Development Process

Requirements and Architecture

We analyze your application requirements, define the app shell, identify cacheable resources, and design the service worker strategy. We document offline behavior for every feature and plan the manifest configuration.

Core Development

We build the application with your chosen framework, implement the app shell architecture, register service workers with per-resource caching strategies, and configure the web app manifest for installability.

Offline and Push Features

We implement offline fallback pages, background sync for queued actions, push notification subscription management, and install prompt timing. Every feature is tested across network conditions.

Testing and Deployment

We run Lighthouse PWA audits, test offline scenarios, verify install flows on iOS and Android, and validate push delivery. We deploy with HTTPS and CDN caching for global performance.

Key Benefits

Native app experience without native app costs

One codebase runs on iOS, Android, desktop, and every browser. No $99/year developer accounts, no 30 percent platform commission, no app store review cycles. Updates deploy instantly to every user without waiting for approval.

Instant engagement without download barriers

Users tap a link and they are using your app. No app store search, no download progress bar, no storage permission popup. Google found this removes enough friction to drive 68 percent more mobile traffic.

Offline access and instant repeat loads

Service workers cache your application shell and critical data so the app loads and functions without connectivity. Repeat visits load from cache in under 100ms. Users in elevators, subways, and rural areas keep working.

Research & Evidence

Backed by industry research and proven results

PWA Impact Study

Progressive web apps see 68% more mobile traffic, 15x faster load times, and engagement comparable to native apps across companies like Twitter, Pinterest, and Trivago

Page Load and Conversion

A 1-second site converts at 3x the rate of a 5-second site, and service worker caching makes PWA repeat visits load in under 100ms

Frequently Asked Questions

Which framework should we use for a PWA?

React with Next.js or Vite for complex applications. Vue with Nuxt for teams that prefer Vue. Astro for content-heavy sites that need selective interactivity. The framework matters less than the service worker strategy and caching architecture. We recommend based on your team's expertise and application requirements.

Can a PWA access device hardware?

Yes. Modern browsers support camera, microphone, geolocation, accelerometer, web Bluetooth, NFC, file system access, and share API. Push notifications work on Android and iOS 16.4 and later. The remaining gaps are narrowing with each browser release. We audit your hardware requirements and confirm browser support before starting.

How long does PWA development take?

A new PWA with offline support, push notifications, and installability takes 8 to 16 weeks depending on application complexity. Adding PWA features to an existing web application takes 4 to 8 weeks. Service worker implementation with a robust caching strategy takes 2 to 4 weeks.

How do PWAs handle updates?

Service workers check for updates on each visit. When a new version is detected, the updated service worker installs in the background and activates on the next navigation or when the user accepts the update prompt. No app store review, no user action required. Updates reach 100 percent of users within hours.
