Complete Guide to Progressive Web Apps (PWA) for business

Since its introduction in 2015, PWA (Progressive Web Apps) has become one of the trendy eCommerce trends and was adopted by several big companies like Alibaba, Trivago, Twitter, etc.

Progressive Web Apps have connected the gap between native apps and websites, allowing both the characteristics and advantages of an app while maintaining the website for online store owners.

What Is PWA(Progressive Web Apps)?

PWA or Progressive Web Apps are applications developed on Javascript frameworks. Make no mistake, they’re still made on website foundation, which means they’re still websites with URLs and are findable on Google, only combine the app’s looks and functions.

Progressive Web Apps, introduced by Google, eagerly approved by Microsoft and reluctantly adopted by Apple, are earning massive popularity among global leaders of online technologies. Companies such as Pinterest, Aliexpress, Trivago, OLX and Forbes, which have already field-tested the expertise of PWA technology to increase user engagement, showed that it is the best solution to the difficulties of the mobile world.

PWA is the fresh technology that intensifies user experience by combining app-like features to the website. You can attach them to your home screen and use them as an app without much extra weight that an actual app would cost on the customer’s phone.

You can also include your PWA in the App Store, which would provide you with an improvement in the mobile market without having to actually have an app.
