Q: What is a Progressive Web App (PWA)?

A PWA combines the reach of the web with app-like capabilities—offline support, installability, push notifications—using modern browser APIs.

Q: How long does a custom PWA build take?

Initial launch-ready scope typically ranges 6–10 weeks depending on complexity, integrations and design system maturity.

Q: Can you migrate an existing site to a PWA?

Yes. We incrementally layer in service workers, performance budgets and API-driven rendering without risking existing revenue streams.

Q: Will a PWA improve SEO?

Better performance, structured data, clean rendering and Core Web Vitals improvements contribute to improved organic visibility and crawl efficiency.

Q: Do PWAs replace native apps?

In many commerce and content use cases they can—reducing maintenance overhead—while still allowing native apps for specialized experiences.

Why Progressive Web Apps?

PWAs close the gap between mobile web and native apps—improving acquisition, retention and lifetime value without multi-store maintenance overhead.

High Conversion Uplift
Optimized speed and frictionless UX increase user activation & checkout completion.
App-Like Engagement
Add-to-home-screen, push notifications and offline retention improve active usage.
Performance Baselines
Sub-second TTFB, optimized LCP < 2s and minimized layout shift build trust.
Hardened Security
OWASP mitigations, secure auth flows, and dependency governance reduce risk.

// Example Workbox runtime caching route
import { registerRoute } from 'workbox-routing'
import { StaleWhileRevalidate } from 'workbox-strategies'
import { ExpirationPlugin } from 'workbox-expiration'

registerRoute(
  ({ url }) => url.pathname.startsWith('/api/products'),
  new StaleWhileRevalidate({
    cacheName: 'api-products',
    plugins: [new ExpirationPlugin({ maxEntries: 200, maxAgeSeconds: 60 * 5 })],
