Web App Development: Progressive Web Apps, Portals and Platforms
When a web app beats a native app, what a PWA can and cannot do, and how we build web platforms that pair with mobile products.
When web is the right answer
Desktop-heavy workflows, admin and operator consoles, content-led marketing surfaces, and anything that needs to be linkable, indexable and instantly updatable. No install friction and no store review.
What a PWA gives you and what it does not
Installability, offline caching and push on most platforms — enough for a large class of products. It still does not match native for deep OS integration, background processing and certain hardware APIs. Choose deliberately rather than by fashion.
Web and mobile together
Most of our clients ship both: a mobile app for the member experience and a web platform for operators, partners and admin. One API, one data model, one accountable team.
