A progressive web app turns your existing website into something that genuinely behaves like a native app. Users can install it on their home screen, open it offline, and get push notifications -- none of which require an app store download. We handle service workers, Web App Manifest configuration, and caching logic through Workbox. The payoff: faster load times, no download friction, and an experience that holds up whether someone's on fiber or a shaky coffee shop connection.

자주 묻는 질문
What is a progressive web app and how is it different from a native app?
Yes, with some caveats. Safari supports service workers, offline caching, and home screen installation. Push notifications, though, require iOS 16.4 or later, and background sync is still restricted. We use feature detection throughout so the PWA degrades gracefully on older iOS versions while delivering full functionality on Android and desktop.
Do PWAs work on iOS and Safari?
Yes. We package your PWA as a Trusted Web Activity using Bubblewrap or PWABuilder, which wraps it in an Android shell without embedding a WebView. The Play Store listing opens your PWA in Chrome with no browser chrome visible. We also target the Microsoft Store and Samsung Galaxy Store.
Can a PWA be listed on the Google Play Store?
Service workers intercept network requests and serve cached responses, cutting out server round trips on repeat visits. Workbox supplies battle-tested strategies — precaching critical assets at install, runtime caching for API responses, stale-while-revalidate for content that changes occasionally. Repeat page loads typically drop below one second.
How do service workers and Workbox improve performance?
Web push reaches users on Android, Windows, macOS, and iOS 16.4+ even when your site isn't open. We trigger permission prompts at meaningful moments — after a purchase, a saved item, account creation — and typically see opt-in rates of 10–15%. Segmented campaigns drive repeat visits without burning budget on email or paid ads.
Will push notifications work for re-engaging users?
A PWA build on an existing Next.js site takes 6–8 weeks and starts at $8,000. Greenfield projects with custom offline data sync, push infrastructure, and app store packaging run $14K–$25K. Every engagement includes a Lighthouse PWA audit, cross-device testing, and 30 days of post-launch support.
