Web development

Progressive web app development

An app your customers install from your website in one tap, that works offline and loads fast on budget phones, without app store approval.

What is a PWA?

A progressive web app (PWA) is a website built with modern web technologies so it can be installed on a device, load instantly, work offline or on poor connections, and send push notifications, behaving much like a native app from a single codebase.

What our progressive web app development covers

Installable web apps that work offline and send notifications, without app stores.

Installable

Add to home screen with an app icon.

Offline mode

Cached content and queued actions.

Push notifications

Re-engage users with timely updates.

Fast loading

Optimised for low end devices.

Single codebase

One app for every platform.

Store listing

Optional Play Store listing via TWA.

How we approach progressive web app development

For many Indian users, storage space and data are limited. PWAs are small and light.

One codebase serves desktop, Android and iPhone, reducing cost.

Every project starts with a short discovery call and ends with software you own: source code, data, cloud accounts and documentation are handed over in your name.

From first call to launch

The same five stages for every build, with a working demo at the end of each sprint so you see progress, not promises.

  1. Discovery

    We map your process, users and data, agree the first release and give you a fixed price for it.

  2. Design

    Clickable prototypes of the key screens, reviewed with the people who will use them every day.

  3. Build in sprints

    Two week sprints with a demo each time. You can change priorities between sprints.

  4. Test and launch

    Functional, security and load testing, data migration, training and a planned go live.

  5. Support and grow

    Monitoring, fixes and new features on a monthly plan, or a clean handover to your team.

Questions about progressive web app development

Do PWAs work on iPhone?

Yes, including installation and push notifications on recent iOS versions.

Can a PWA be on the Play Store?

Yes, as a trusted web activity.

PWA or native app?

PWAs suit content and commerce. Native apps suit heavy device features.

Do you work only in Kolkata?

Our engineering team is based in New Town, Kolkata, and we work with clients across West Bengal, the rest of India and overseas. Most projects run remotely with weekly demos, and we meet in person when it helps.
