Why a PWA?

The experience of an app,
the reach of a website

A Progressive Web App combines the best of both worlds: accessible from any browser, installable on the home screen, fast, offline-capable, and SEO-friendly.

No store, no friction

Your users access your app directly from their browser and install it on their home screen with a single tap -- no App Store or Google Play required.

Offline mode

Thanks to the Service Worker, your essential content remains accessible even without an internet connection. Ideal for areas with low connectivity.

Push notifications

Send alerts directly to your users' home screens, just like a native app -- on Android and now on iOS 16.4+.

Peak performance

Near-instant loading, smooth interface, Core Web Vitals scores of 95+. Your users enjoy a premium experience without downloading anything.

Indexable by Google

Unlike a native app, PWA content is crawled and indexed by Google. Your investment also boosts your organic search rankings.

Instant updates

No store approval required. Your changes are available immediately to all your users, without them needing to update anything.

Frequently Asked Questions

Web App & PWA FAQ

All the answers to your questions about Progressive Web Apps developed by Skyward Agency.

For the vast majority of use cases (e-commerce, services, content, client portals), yes. A PWA delivers 80 to 90% of a native app's features in a fraction of the time. The only limitations relate to access to certain advanced hardware sensors and organic visibility on the app stores.

Not automatically. Google Play accepts PWAs through the TWA (Trusted Web Activity) format. On iOS, users can add the PWA to their home screen from Safari. We support you through both approaches if store visibility is a goal.

Yes, on all modern devices. Chrome, Edge, and Samsung Internet offer full support. Safari on iOS supports key features since iOS 16.4+, including push notifications. We test compatibility on major devices before delivery.

Since iOS 16.4 (March 2023), Apple supports push notifications for PWAs installed on the home screen. This is a major advancement that makes PWAs truly comparable to native apps on iPhone.

Yes, this is one of the key advantages of a PWA over a native app. PWA content is indexable by Google just like any website. Combined with its high performance (Core Web Vitals), a well-built PWA naturally boosts your organic search rankings.

You own 100% of the source code and all files. We hand over the complete codebase upon delivery. No dependency on any third-party platform or on Skyward after launch.
