Progressive web app (PWA) development

PWA development gives you an app that installs on a smartphone straight from your website and sends push notifications. No app stores, no reviews, no commissions — and one codebase for iOS, Android and desktop.

Use cases

Progressive web apps that install on a smartphone and send push notifications. No app stores and no store fees.

  • 01

    PWA for an online store

    Home screen icon, fast return visits, push notifications about discounts and order status.

  • 02

    App for field staff

    Couriers, technicians, sales reps: photos, geolocation, sync and push.

  • 03

    Customer account

    Orders, documents, payments and notifications without installing from an app store.

  • 04

    PWA instead of a mobile app

    Fast time to market and demand validation before investing in native apps.

  • 05

    Publishing to Google Play

    We package the PWA via TWA and publish it to Google Play and RuStore.

What's included

End to end — from idea to a working product.

We deploy the product on the client's servers or in their cloud and hand it over up and running — with access credentials, documentation and team training.

  • Install on iOS and Android from the website
  • Cache and background sync
  • Push notifications
  • Access to camera, geolocation, files
  • Design following native patterns
  • Publishing to Google Play via TWA

Our approach

We design caching, sync and background tasks. The interface is indistinguishable from native, and installation takes one tap from the website.

Outcome

An app on your customer's home screen a minute after their first visit, with updates that don't wait for store review.

PWA: when it beats a native app

A progressive web app is the right choice when launch speed, updates without store review and a single budget for all platforms matter. A PWA installs from the website and sends push notifications, including on iOS 16.4 and later once added to the Home Screen. If you need Bluetooth, complex graphics or deep OS integration, we go with a mobile app for iOS and Android. A detailed comparison is in PWA or mobile app.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a PWA cost?

For reference: a PWA version of an existing website starts at 150,000 ₽, a standalone PWA with a user account and cached data at 400,000 ₽.

Do push notifications work on iPhone?

Yes, starting with iOS 16.4, if the PWA is added to the Home Screen and the user has allowed notifications.

Can a PWA be published to Google Play?

Yes, via Trusted Web Activity. The App Store requires a native wrapper with additional functionality, otherwise it will not pass review.

How does a user install a PWA?

From the website: on Android with the install button, on iOS via Share → Add to Home Screen. We add hints for both options.
