The common challenge businesses face when trying to reach mobile consumers is whether to stick with a mobile-friendly website; invest in creating, launching and maintaining a set of native mobile apps – or both. However, one concept that is often misunderstood and overlooked is that of Progressive Web Apps (PWA’s). PWA’s have been emerging since 2015 when designer Frances Berriman and Google Chrome engineer Alex Russell coined the term.
A PWA is a combination of mobile-friendly website and app. A PWA is responsive to almost all devices and it feels and functions like an app you’d get from Google Play or the Apple. The key feature to a PWA is that despite it feeling exactly like an app, users do not have to spend time trying to find it and they do not have to download it. It makes use of modern browser features and allows users to upgrade easily.
