Progressive Web Apps (PWA)

Progressive Web App Development โ€” App-Like Experiences, Web-Simple Deployment

PWAs give your users an app experience โ€” offline support, push notifications, add-to-homescreen, fast loading โ€” without the cost and complexity of native apps. No app store approval. No separate iOS and Android builds. Just one web application that works like a native app on every device. Ideal for Indian businesses targeting mobile users on low-bandwidth connections.

Why Progressive Web Apps Are Perfect for India

India’s mobile internet landscape is unique: 150+ million smartphone users with 3G/4G connections, limited storage on budget devices, and data costs that matter. PWAs are engineered for this reality. They’re fast on slow networks, small in size, and work offline. Users can add your app to their home screen without visiting the app store. They receive notifications without downloading anything. It’s the best of web and native apps combined.

We’ve built 40+ PWAs for retailers, field sales teams, education platforms, and FMCG distributors. Each one is optimised for India’s mobile market: fast loading on 4G, offline-first architecture, Hindi language support, and low data consumption. Our PWAs achieve Lighthouse scores above 90 โ€” that’s Google’s gold standard for performance, accessibility, and best practices.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between PWA and native app? +
PWAs are web applications that feel like native apps. No app store required, lower cost, one codebase for all platforms. Native apps have direct device access (camera, GPS). PWAs cover 95% of use cases with lower cost and easier distribution.
Will a PWA work offline? +
Yes. We implement service workers that cache content and data. Your app works offline, and when reconnected, data syncs automatically to the server.
Can users install a PWA on their phone? +
Yes. Users see an “Add to Home Screen” prompt. They tap it, and the PWA is installed on their phone like a native app. No app store needed.
Are PWAs good for SEO? +
Excellent for SEO. PWAs are fast, mobile-friendly, and technically sound โ€” all factors Google ranks highly. PWAs typically rank better than native apps.
How do PWAs compare to React Native? +
React Native requires app store deployment. PWAs deploy instantly to the web and work in browsers. PWAs are faster to develop and update. Choose PWA unless you need direct device access.
Do PWAs work on iOS Safari? +
iOS Safari has limited PWA support (as of 2024), but we work around it. iOS users can still use your PWA in Safari and add it to home screen. Not all offline features work on iOS, but core functionality does.
