Progressive web apps
that feel like native apps

We build progressive web apps that people can install from the browser, use offline and update without going through an app store. Speed targets are checked before every release, so the app stays fast on real phones and patchy networks.

What's included

What we
build for you

6 capabilities, delivered by one squad. Use what you need now and add more as you grow.

  • 01

    Installability

    The manifest, icons and install prompt that let people add your app to their home screen, shown at the right moment.

    • Install prompt strategy
    • App identity and icons
  • 02

    Offline-first UX

    Key pages cached by a service worker, with offline fallbacks and background sync for actions taken without a signal.

    • Route-based caching
    • Background sync
  • 03

    Performance budgets

    Limits for Core Web Vitals and bundle size, checked in CI so new features can't slow the app down.

    • Core Web Vitals budgets
    • Bundle and chunk strategy
  • 04

    Push and re-engagement

    Web push notifications that ask permission at a sensible moment and send messages tied to your product goals.

    • Web push setup
    • Notification UX
  • 05

    Secure delivery

    HTTPS throughout, a Content Security Policy, trusted updates and secure caching.

    • CSP and security headers
    • Safe service worker updates
  • 06

    Monitoring

    Tracking for Core Web Vitals, installs, offline use and the flows that lead to sign-ups or sales.

    • Install funnel
    • Core Web Vitals monitoring

Our approach

What usually goes wrong,
and what we do instead

  1. The usual way

    Blank screens on weak networks or behind Wi-Fi login pages.

    How we do it

    A service worker caches your most important pages and shows a useful offline screen instead of a blank one.

  2. The usual way

    Caching without clear rules leaves users with stale files and broken sessions that are hard to debug.

    How we do it

    Clear cache rules and a controlled update process, with alerts and the option to roll back, so old files don't break sessions.

  3. The usual way

    Bundles keep growing until the app slows down and conversions drop.

    How we do it

    Core Web Vitals budgets are checked in CI, and a release that makes the app slower is blocked.

Architecture

How it's
put together

Each layer has a clear job, so the system is easier to secure, test and extend.

  1. Layer 01

    App identity

    Manifest, icons, install prompt and an app shell that loads instantly, so the PWA looks and opens like an installed app.

    • Web app manifest
    • App shell
    • Icons
    • Install prompt
  2. Layer 02

    Offline engine

    Workbox service workers that decide what to cache, what to show offline and what to sync later.

    • Workbox
    • Service workers
    • Offline fallbacks
    • Background sync
  3. Layer 03

    Performance

    Budgets for loading (LCP), responsiveness (INP) and layout shift (CLS), checked in CI, with code split by route.

    • LCP
    • INP
    • CLS
    • CI gates
    • Route splitting
  4. Layer 04

    Monitoring and security

    Track results, enforce security headers and ship releases that can be rolled back.

    • Metrics and alerts
    • CSP
    • Safe rollouts

How we deliver

From first review
to live in production

4 phases, each ending with an output you can review.

  1. Step 1: Review and budget definition

    We define your key routes, how each behaves offline, the install flow and the performance budgets.

    Output: PWA feasibility blueprint

  2. Step 2: Offline strategy and app shell

    We build the app shell, caching rules, offline fallbacks and background sync flows.

    Output: Offline-first foundation

  3. Step 3: Performance and CI gates

    We enforce Core Web Vitals budgets, split code by route and add regression checks to CI.

    Output: Performance budgets in CI

  4. Step 4: Ship, observe and improve

    We release with monitoring, install tracking, alerts and a safe way to update.

    Output: Monitored, installable PWA

Trust and control

Safe by design,
not by policy alone

  • Budget and regression gates

    Performance budgets are checked before every release, so speed doesn't quietly decay.

  • Safe updates and cache rules

    Update strategies that avoid stale files and broken sessions.

  • Monitoring and rollback

    Installs, Core Web Vitals and offline use are tracked, and every release can be rolled back.

You keep full ownership of the code, configuration and documentation we create, with no vendor lock-in.

A progressive web app is a website that can be installed on a phone or desktop, works offline and can send push notifications, without going through an app store. It suits products that need wide reach and fast updates. Native apps are the better choice when you need AR or heavy processing on the device.
