As Jake Archibald, the Google Chrome Developer Advocate, said - “The future of the web is not apps, but it’s progressive web apps,” and no doubt, it stands true. Built like a web application using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, these apps provide access to app-like features and high performance within the web browser. However, the success of PWAs depends on three important pillars:
With the introduction of new and upcoming APIs, the PWAs have the features that were earlier accessible through platform-specific apps only. For instance, Starbucks’ PWA allows users to browse the menu, customize orders, and support offline functionality.
New-age customers expect apps that respond quickly, and a reliable PWA feels fast, smooth, and dependable, regardless of the network. Speed and performance are critical to improving engagement rates, and PWAs just have the key to delivering a reliable experience where scrolling and animation feel smooth, and apps load easily even in unstable internet or in the complete absence of it.
The defining aspect of PWAs that the supporting browser can promote its installation on the device. It makes it move the app out of the browser to a standalone window, transforming the way users interact with it. For example, Spotify’s PWA can be directly installed from the browser to the device, and it operates as a standalone app to deliver an immersive listening experience.
We provide a comprehensive progressive web app development service to develop cross-platform apps delivering native-like experiences. Our app developers have hands-on experience in PWA development technologies, like ReactJS, Angular JS, Ionic, Knockout, and Lighthouse.
We offer custom PWA development, responsive web app design, application shell architecture, PWA data migration, and quality testing assurance.
