Why Your Business Needs a Progressive Web App (PWA)
A PWA gives your users an app-like experience without the app store. Faster, cheaper, and more accessible than native apps.

What Is a PWA?
A Progressive Web App is a website that behaves like a native app — installable on home screens, works offline, sends push notifications, and loads instantly.
PWA vs Native App: The Numbers
- Development cost: 3-4x cheaper than building iOS + Android apps
- Time to market: 50-70% faster
- Maintenance: One codebase instead of three
- Reach: No app store approval needed, accessible via URL
Real-World PWA Success Stories
Twitter Lite (PWA) saw 65% increase in pages per session. Starbucks' PWA is 99.84% smaller than their iOS app. Pinterest's PWA increased engagement by 60%.
When a PWA Makes Sense
- You need mobile presence but native app budget is too high
- Your users primarily access content (not heavy device features)
- Speed and performance are priorities
- You want to reach users in low-bandwidth areas
