ABSTRACT

In today’s online environment, users are spoilt for choice when it comes to applications and websites. Companies strive to attract customers and maintain their business, and many successfully do so on one platform or another. However, the problem arises when the user must navigate between these solutions and the experience doesn’t carry over. For instance, the app experience for an online service may be stellar as compared to the website, and the gap between the two can be damaging. This is where progressive web apps (PWA) come into play.

Simply put, progressive web apps are websites that have been designed to resemble an application. There are many benefits to such a technology, with data backing the claim that users prefer mobiles apps to websites. This makes sense, considering that applications are generally easier to navigate, offer better personalization, and offer the ability to work offline. These are just some of the features that a PWA leverages to provide users with an enhanced experience.
