I build installable, offline-capable Progressive Web Apps that work seamlessly across devices — combining the reach of the web with the functionality of native apps, without app store gatekeepers.
Progressive Web Apps bridge the gap between the web and native apps — delivering installable, offline-capable experiences that work across every device and browser, without the friction of app store submissions, review cycles, or 30% platform fees. For many businesses, a well-built PWA is the fastest, most cost-effective way to reach mobile users at scale.
I build PWAs using React and Next.js with the full PWA feature set — service workers for offline caching and background sync, Web App Manifest for home screen installation, Web Push API for notifications, IndexedDB for local storage, and Workbox for battle-tested service worker patterns. The result is a web application that feels native, works offline, and can be installed with a single tap.
Whether you're a retailer wanting an installable storefront without the app store, a SaaS team needing offline-capable tools for field workers, or a publisher looking to boost mobile engagement with installable experiences, I bring the engineering depth to make PWAs genuinely indistinguishable from native apps — at a fraction of the cost.
Comprehensive progressive web app development services tailored to your specific business needs, timeline, and budget.
Build a Progressive Web App from scratch using React or Next.js with the full PWA capability set — service workers, manifest, offline support, and push notifications. Installable on iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS.
Upgrade your existing website or web app into a Progressive Web App. Add offline support, installability, and push notifications to a codebase you already have — without a full rewrite.
Apps that work seamlessly without internet connectivity using IndexedDB, background sync, and conflict resolution. Ideal for field service tools, inventory apps, and workflows where users lose connectivity.
Installable e-commerce experiences that load instantly, work offline for browsing, and re-engage users with push notifications for abandoned carts, order updates, and promotions.
Add Web Push notifications to existing web apps — server setup, VAPID keys, subscription management, notification delivery, and re-engagement campaigns to bring users back to your product.
Deep-dive audits of existing PWAs to identify issues with service worker caching, offline behavior, installation flow, and Core Web Vitals — with a prioritized action plan to reach perfect Lighthouse PWA scores.
Every project includes these built-in capabilities as standard — not upsells or afterthoughts.
Background scripts that enable offline caching, push notifications, and background sync — the foundation of every PWA.
Apps that work without an internet connection using IndexedDB, cache strategies, and background sync for seamless offline UX.
Web App Manifest configuration that lets users install your app to their home screen on iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS.
Web Push API integration for re-engagement, notifications, and alerts — with VAPID authentication and subscription management.
Defer network requests until connectivity returns — perfect for form submissions, uploads, and data syncing in spotty network conditions.
Minimal initial HTML/CSS/JS shell cached aggressively for instant loading, with dynamic content loaded on demand.
Interfaces that adapt fluidly from mobile to tablet to desktop, with platform-appropriate UI patterns and native feel.
Progressive enhancement so the PWA works everywhere — with advanced features activated only on supporting browsers.
Modern, production-proven tools and frameworks I use to deliver reliable, maintainable solutions.
Proven progressive web app development experience across diverse verticals with industry-specific domain knowledge.
Installable storefronts with offline browsing, push notifications for promotions, and instant loading for better mobile conversion rates.
Offline-capable tools for field workers — inventory checks, work orders, and data collection that sync when connectivity returns.
News readers and content platforms with offline article caching, push notifications for breaking news, and instant loading.
Team collaboration tools and productivity apps that work offline, sync in the background, and install to the desktop.
Learning platforms with offline course content, progress syncing, and push notification reminders for engagement.
Patient-facing apps with offline support for rural areas, secure data handling, and push notifications for appointment reminders.
A proven, transparent methodology with clear deliverables at every stage — no black boxes, no surprises.
Define which PWA capabilities matter for your use case — offline support, installability, push notifications, background sync — and design an architecture that delivers them without over-engineering.
Design a responsive UI with an app shell architecture — the minimal HTML/CSS/JS cached for instant loads — plus installation prompts and offline indicators.
Build the service worker with Workbox — cache strategies for each resource type, offline fallbacks, background sync, and push notification handling.
Build the application features in 2-week sprints, testing offline behavior and installation flows on real devices throughout development.
Run Lighthouse PWA audits and fix any issues — manifest completeness, service worker correctness, HTTPS, offline capability, and installability.
Deploy to production with HTTPS and proper caching headers, then monitor installation rates, push opt-ins, and engagement metrics to drive iteration.
What sets my approach apart — backed by real production experience, not just theory.
I've shipped 15+ production PWAs across retail, SaaS, media, and field service — I know the quirks of Safari's service worker support, iOS installation flow, and real-world offline edge cases.
Most PWAs bolt on offline as an afterthought. I design offline-first from day one, choosing the right cache strategies and data patterns for each resource type.
App shell architecture, aggressive caching, and code splitting deliver sub-second load times and smooth interactions that feel indistinguishable from native apps.
One PWA reaches iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and every desktop browser — no app store submissions, no platform-specific codebases, no 30% fees.
Every PWA I ship targets a perfect 100 Lighthouse PWA score, validated on real devices across browsers and operating systems.
PWAs need more than frontend — VAPID servers, push delivery, backend sync endpoints. I handle the full stack, not just the service worker.
Common questions about my progressive web app development services — pricing, timeline, process, and more.
A Progressive Web App is a website that uses modern web capabilities — service workers, Web App Manifest, Web Push API — to deliver an app-like experience. Users can install it to their home screen, use it offline, and receive push notifications, all without going through an app store.
PWAs run in the browser but can be installed to the home screen and work offline like native apps. They're cheaper to build (one codebase vs. separate iOS and Android apps), don't require app store approval, and update instantly. Native apps still win for deep OS integration, advanced device features, and maximum performance.
Yes, but with some limitations compared to Android. iOS supports installation to the home screen, service workers, offline caching, and some push notifications (on iOS 16.4+). I design around Safari's quirks to deliver consistent behavior across platforms.
A simple PWA or website-to-PWA conversion typically costs $3,000–$8,000. Custom-built PWAs with complex offline behavior and push notifications range $8,000–$25,000. Enterprise PWAs with advanced features start from $25,000+. Fixed-price quotes after discovery.
Yes — most existing websites can be upgraded to PWAs by adding a Web App Manifest, service worker with Workbox, and proper HTTPS hosting. The amount of work depends on how much offline functionality you want and the current state of your codebase.
PWAs can be submitted to the Google Play Store using Trusted Web Activities (TWA) and to the Microsoft Store. iOS does not accept PWAs in the App Store, but users can still install them directly from Safari. I can help you publish to Play Store and Microsoft Store if needed.
