Our Approach
Our 6 stage process for successful PWA development

FAQ
Frequently asked questions on our progressive web apps
You will have full control over your user’s experience. Designed and developed for you, a completely custom cross platform solution to ensure your customers are always up to date.
What is PWA development?
A PWA is a web-based application that can be “installed” on a user’s device or browser.
Unlike a native app, they are able to work when an internet connection is low, or non-existent, by leveraging data cached during the user's last active session.
Progressive Web Apps are the best way for developers to make their apps load faster and improve brand visibility online.
Why use PWA?
Building your app in the form of a PWA will reduce the development time and enables you to create an engaging, user-focussed experience that will help accelerate conversions.
What’s more, when compared to native app development, you will see significant cost reductions, security improvements, and gain the ability for your users to browse offline. But what are some of the other benefits?
- Fast-loading times
- Light Codebase
- Secure
- Engaging
- SEO Friendly
- Offline Usage
- Easy Installation
- Cost Effective
- Cross Platform
How does PWA work?
There are four minimum requirements needed for your app to be classed as a Progressive Web Application. Google has provided some guidance on this with a helpful checklist, which has been simplified below:
- Web App Manifest
A json file that gives meta information about the PWA. Information such as the icon, background colour and name etc. are stored here.
- Service Workers
Service Workers act as a proxy between the network and app. They are event-driven and run in the background. They are able to intercept cache information and network requests to be used to load data in an offline setting.
- Icon
When a user installs a Progressive Web Application an app icon is displayed on their device or browser. This could be a simple jpeg, png or svg. The Web App Manifest can be used to generate the icon.
- Served over HTTPS
A PWA must be hosted on a secure network (HTTPS), alongside a valid SSL certificate, the app could be using services like Cloudflare.
How long does it take to build a Progressive Web Application?
A typical PWA project will take 6-12 weeks to complete depending on the features and functionality required. Our approach starts with the Research and Product Discovery phase, before moving into User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI), and finally into PWA development.
But we don't stop there. Unlike other providers, we will guide and support you as your business grows and challenges throughout your journey.
How much does it cost to build a PWA app?
The short answer is that the cost of PWA development will depend entirely on the features and functionality required.
The first step in our approach is always the Product Discovery stage, from which we will better understand your requirements and create a business roadmap forward with you.
Do you support me and my business after the PWA is built?
Yes. We offer you the full support of our expert digital product development and agency team. From project managers, UX designers, digital managers, developers and even advice from our in-house marketing team, a full support system is in place for your business.
