Progressive Web Applications
App-quality experiences on the open web — installable, offline-tolerant and instantly shareable.
A progressive web app is the right answer when you want app-quality experience without app-store friction — field tools, internal apps, and consumer products where a download would cost you most of the audience.
We build PWAs that install to the home screen, tolerate a poor connection, and share as a plain link.
How we approach it
We are honest about the trade-off. Where you genuinely need deep hardware access or store distribution, we will say so and recommend native instead.
Why this matters
-
No download barrier
Reachable from a link, installable for the people who want it on the home screen.
-
Works on a bad connection
Offline-tolerant with queued actions that sync when the network returns.
-
One codebase
A single application across desktop and mobile rather than three builds.
-
Ships when you decide
Updates go live immediately, with no store review in the way.
What is included
-
Offline-first architecture
Service workers, local persistence and conflict-aware synchronisation.
-
Installability
Manifest, icons and install prompts handled correctly across platforms.
-
Push notifications
Web push where the platform supports it, with graceful fallback where it does not.
-
Device capabilities
Camera, geolocation and file access used where the browser allows.
How we deliver it
-
01
Discover
Workshops with the people who will use it, a map of the systems the application has to fit alongside, and written agreement on what success looks like.
-
02
Design
Architecture, data model and interface prototypes, reviewed with your team before any production code is written.
-
03
Build
Two-week increments with a demo environment you can use throughout, so the roadmap stays open to change.
-
04
Harden
Load testing, security review, accessibility audit and the operational tooling needed to go live safely.
-
05
Operate
Support, iteration and a documented handover whenever you decide to run it in-house.
What you receive
- Capability assessment against native alternatives
- Production progressive web application
- Offline and synchronisation strategy documentation
- Lighthouse performance and PWA audit results
- Deployment pipeline and monitoring
