Progressive Web App (PWA) Development
Done Right

A Progressive Web App is a website that behaves like a native app — installable on the home screen, functional offline, fast on any network, and push-notification capable. For many businesses, a PWA delivers 80% of the native app experience at a fraction of the cost — no App Store fees, no review process, no separate codebase to maintain. At Elite App Design, we build production-grade PWAs that pass Google's PWA audit criteria.

Progressive Web App (PWA) Development FAQ

Is a PWA better than a native app? +
It depends. PWAs are ideal for broad reach, frequent content updates, and lower cost. Native apps are better for deep device integrations or maximum graphics performance.
Do PWAs work on iPhone? +
Yes, though iOS PWA support is more limited than Android. iOS supports home screen installation and basic offline functionality.
Can a PWA replace our native app? +
For many businesses, yes — especially if your app is primarily content consumption, e-commerce, or form-based workflows.
How long does it take to build a PWA? +
Converting an existing web app typically takes 3-6 weeks. Building a new PWA from scratch follows the same timeline as a standard web application.
