Custom development

Many businesses want an app on their customers' phones but cannot justify building and maintaining separate iOS and Android apps. A progressive web app is a website that can be installed to the home screen, opens in its own window, loads quickly and keeps key pages working when the connection drops. I build new PWAs and convert existing websites and web apps, with clear advice on what a PWA can and cannot do on each device.

FAQs

It is a website built so it can be installed and used like an app. It opens from the home screen, runs in its own window, loads fast and can keep working offline, all without going through an app store.

Yes, in most cases. I add the manifest, icons and a service worker, decide which pages and data should work offline, and fix anything that slows the site on mobile. The website keeps working as before for visitors who do not install it.

Yes, with some limits. iPhones can install PWAs to the home screen and run them in their own window, and recent iOS versions support push notifications for installed web apps. Some device features are still more limited than on Android, and I check these against your needs before building.

A PWA is usually the better first step when your app is mostly forms, content, bookings or dashboards. A native app makes more sense when you need deep device features, heavy offline use or a presence in the app stores. I will give you a straight answer for your case.
