You've heard of mobile apps and websites — but what about a Progressive Web App (PWA)? It's a powerful middle ground that more Faridabad businesses should consider. Here's what a PWA is, and why it might be exactly what your business needs right now.
What Is a Progressive Web App?
A PWA is a website that behaves like a mobile app. Users can "install" it on their home screen from the browser — no App Store or Play Store required. It loads fast, works offline (to some extent), sends push notifications, and feels like a native app.
PWA vs Native App vs Website
- Website: Accessible via browser, no install, no push notifications
- Native App: Installed from App Store/Play Store, full device access, expensive to build for both platforms
- PWA: Installed directly from the browser, works offline, sends push notifications — costs 30–50% less than a native app
When Is a PWA the Right Choice?
- You want app-like features (notifications, home screen icon, offline access) without App Store submission
- Your budget doesn't stretch to native app development yet
- Your primary use case doesn't require camera, GPS, or advanced device hardware
- You want a single codebase that works on all devices
