PWA Development

PWA Development: The Web, Built Like an App

Progressive Web Apps that install to the home screen, load fast and keep working offline. It's in the name, it's what I do. Built by a specialist in Hull, East Yorkshire.

Past the Buzzword

Progressive Web Apps aren't new. Service workers and app manifests have been around for years. What's changed is that the real use cases have caught up with what the technology can do.

All a PWA really means is a website that behaves like an app. Customers tap "add to home screen" and your site sits on their phone with your icon, opens straight away, and keeps working when the signal drops. App feel, no app store, no download, nothing to approve.

What I Build

Real PWA work, built properly on a modern stack.

Installable, App-Like Sites

Add to home screen, full-screen launch, your icon on the phone. The app experience without the app store.

Offline-First

Built to keep working on a patchy or dropped connection, so people can still use what they've already loaded.

Push & Re-Engagement

Web push notifications to bring customers back, where it genuinely helps rather than annoys.

Convert Your Existing Site

Already have a site? In many cases I can turn it into a fast, installable PWA rather than starting over.

Where PWAs Earn Their Keep

I'm particularly interested in PWAs for places with poor connectivity. Not everyone has fast, reliable internet. Field workers, warehouse staff and remote sites are real situations where offline-first makes a tangible difference.

And mobile-first isn't a trend any more, it's the baseline. A PWA lets you deliver an app-like experience to a phone without asking anyone to find you in an app store, while still working when the network doesn't. If that sounds like your customers, it's worth a conversation.

Think a PWA fits your business?

Book a free 30-minute surgery and I'll give you an honest, technical view on whether a PWA is right for you and how I'd build it. No sales pitch.

Add it to your home screen

A PWA installs straight from the browser in one tap — no store, no review, no wait.

In your browser, look for the install icon in the address bar (or the ⋮ menu → “Install”). On a live production build it pops up automatically.

Your customers tap once and your site sits on their home screen — no App Store, no download, no 200MB update.
