Question 1

What is a progressive web app (PWA)?

Accepted Answer

A PWA is a web application that uses modern web technologies to deliver app-like experiences. PWAs work offline, load instantly, can be installed on devices, and provide push notifications, all while remaining accessible via URL like traditional websites. They combine the best of web and mobile apps.

Question 2

How much does PWA development cost?

Accepted Answer

PWA development costs 40-60% less than native mobile apps. Basic PWAs start around $8,000-$15,000, mid-range PWAs with advanced features run $20,000-$40,000, and enterprise PWAs range from $50,000-$100,000+. Unlike native apps, PWAs require one codebase for all platforms, significantly reducing costs.

Question 3

Can I convert my existing website into a PWA?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Most modern websites can be converted into PWAs. The process involves adding a service worker, creating an app manifest, implementing offline functionality, and optimizing performance. I can conduct an audit of your site and provide a detailed migration plan with cost estimates.

Question 4

Do PWAs work on iOS and Android?

Accepted Answer

Yes, PWAs work on all modern browsers including iOS Safari, Android Chrome, and desktop browsers. While iOS historically had limitations, recent updates provide full PWA support including installation, push notifications (iOS 16.4+), and offline functionality. PWAs reach 100% of users with one codebase.

Question 5

What are the advantages of PWAs over native apps?

Accepted Answer

PWAs offer significant advantages: 60% lower development costs (one codebase vs multiple), no app store approval process, instant updates without downloads, better SEO and discoverability, smaller installation size (typically 1-5MB vs 50-200MB), and easier maintenance. PWAs are ideal for businesses wanting app-like experiences without native app complexity.
