Progressive Web Apps reach mobile users without app store gatekeeping, work offline, and update instantly without app store review delays. Per Google, PWA conversion rates are 36 percent higher than mobile web equivalents on average. This page covers when PWAs win, the architecture we use, and what every use case typically costs.

What we build

Customer-facing PWAs

Replace a mobile web experience with an installable app. Users add to home screen, get push notifications, work offline. No app store required.

Internal tooling PWAs

Field workers, drivers, technicians need offline-capable mobile apps but app store distribution adds friction. PWAs distribute via URL or MDM (Mobile Device Management).

Ecommerce PWAs

Shopping experiences with offline browsing, fast checkout, push notifications for shipping updates. Conversion rates often 20 to 50 percent higher than mobile web.

Content and media PWAs

Reading, audio, video apps with offline content sync. Users download content while online, consume offline.

Productivity and collaboration PWAs

Internal team tools. Replace native Mac/Windows desktop apps with a single PWA that works across operating systems.

Use cases with cost ranges

Customer-facing ecommerce PWA

Shopify Hydrogen or custom storefront delivered as a PWA. Offline browsing, fast checkout, push notifications for order updates. Add-to-home-screen prompt at checkout completion. Typical build 8 to 12 weeks. Range $12,000 to $38,000 depending on catalog size and personalisation depth.

Field service PWA

Driver, technician, or field worker app. Offline job list, photo capture, signature collection, sync on reconnect. Distributed via URL or MDM. Typical build 10 to 14 weeks. Range $14,000 to $38,000 depending on workflow complexity and offline sync requirements.

Internal productivity PWA

Replace separate Mac and Windows desktop apps with a single PWA. Sign-on via Google Workspace or Okta. Cross-platform installable. Typical build 8 to 12 weeks. Range $11,000 to $38,000 depending on feature scope.

Content media PWA

Reading, audio, or video app with offline content sync. Push notifications for new content. User authentication and content licensing handled. Typical build 8 to 12 weeks. Range $8,000 to $14,000 depending on content delivery complexity.

How we run the build

Five-phase rhythm for PWA builds. Service worker design happens in week 1.

  • Discovery and PWA fitness (1 week). Use case assessment. Offline-required workflows mapped. Push notification strategy. Output: PWA capability matrix and scope.
  • Architecture and design (1 to 2 weeks). Service worker strategy. Cache architecture. Offline data model. App shell design. Output: ADRs plus design system.
  • Build (4 to 8 weeks). Two-week sprints. Service worker tested every sprint. Web Vitals gate on every PR.
  • Performance and offline UAT (1 to 2 weeks). Lighthouse PWA audit. Offline scenario testing. Install rate measurement. Push notification testing across browsers.
  • Launch and dual on-call (1 week plus 2 weeks). Production deploy. Service worker versioning strategy in place. Push notification monitoring. Runbook delivered.

Tech stack

Default PWA stack. Each layer chosen for offline reliability, install rate, and performance.

  • Front end. Next.js with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS. App Router architecture optimised for service worker integration.
  • Service workers. Workbox for caching strategy. Cache-first for app shell, network-first for API data, stale-while-revalidate for content. Background sync for offline writes.
  • Offline storage. IndexedDB via Dexie or idb for structured data. Cache API for assets. Local first-write, sync-on-reconnect pattern.
  • Web Push notifications. Web Push API with VAPID. Firebase Cloud Messaging optional for cross-platform consistency. Custom notification logic per use case.
  • App manifest and install. Web App Manifest for installability. Install prompts surfaced at user-intent moments rather than on first visit.
  • Performance. Core Web Vitals optimised. LCP under 2.5 seconds, INP under 200 ms, CLS under 0.1. Code-splitting and lazy loading by default.
  • Integrations. REST or GraphQL backend. Stripe for payments. Auth via Clerk or NextAuth. Camera, geolocation, file system access via Web APIs.

Offline reliability and platform constraints

We document iOS versus Android PWA capability gaps at scoping (push, background sync, storage limits). Service worker versioning and cache invalidation are built in from week 1. HIPAA and GDPR patterns available where the build requires regulated data offline.

FAQ

A Progressive Web App (PWA) is a web application built with modern web capabilities that can be installed on a user's device, work offline, and send push notifications. PWAs combine the reach of the web with the user experience of a native app. Examples: Twitter, Starbucks, Pinterest, Spotify all run PWAs in production.
