OUR SERVICES

Progressive Web App Agency - Native Feel, Web Speed

We build Progressive Web Apps that close the gap between web and native. Kultrix delivers installable, offline-capable PWAs with push notifications, background sync, and near-native performance, without the cost and friction of separate app store submissions.

EXPERT INSIGHTS

PWA vs Native App - Which to Build First?

A Progressive Web App reaches every platform through a single codebase while delivering near-native performance for most use cases.

Go With Progressive Web App

  • One codebase, all platforms

    Works on iOS, Android, and desktop from a single deployment.

  • No app store friction

    Users install instantly from the browser - no review cycle.

  • Instant updates

    Push a fix and every user gets it on next visit - no version lag.

  • SEO accessible

    Web content is indexed by search engines unlike native apps.

Go With Native App

  • Full hardware access

    Camera, Bluetooth, NFC, and sensors with no browser limitations.

  • App store discoverability

    Listed in App Store / Google Play for organic discovery.

  • Offline-first depth

    Richer offline experiences with local SQLite and background sync.

  • Platform UI conventions

    Feels native - follows system gestures and design language.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

A PWA is a web application that uses modern browser APIs to deliver app-like experiences - installable on the home screen, works offline, receives push notifications, and loads instantly. PWAs are built with standard web technologies but behave like native apps on supported devices.

PWAs are the right choice when you want cross-platform reach (iOS, Android, desktop) from a single codebase, lower development and maintenance costs, no app store approval friction, and direct URL sharing. Native apps are better for deep OS integration, AR/VR, or when app store discoverability is critical.

Yes, with limitations. Safari on iOS supports service workers, offline caching, and home screen installation. Push notifications via the Push API are supported on iOS 16.4+. Background sync has limited iOS support. Kultrix designs PWAs to degrade gracefully on iOS while delivering the full experience on Android and desktop.

We use a service worker with a cache-first strategy for static assets and a network-first strategy for dynamic API data. For offline data access, we sync data to IndexedDB on initial load and use background sync to replay failed mutations when connectivity resumes.

Web push uses the Push API and service workers. After the user grants permission, your server can send push messages via the Web Push Protocol even when the browser is closed. We set up a push server (using web-push library), store subscriptions securely, and send targeted notifications.

PWAs can match native app perceived performance through app shell caching (instant loading), skeleton screens, optimistic UI updates, and preloading the next likely screen. With a service worker, repeat visits load from cache before the network - often faster than a native app launch.

Yes. Adding PWA capabilities to an existing site typically requires: a valid Web App Manifest, a registered service worker with caching strategy, HTTPS, and responsive design. Kultrix audits your current site and implements these incrementally without a full rebuild.

A service worker is a JavaScript file that runs in the background, separate from your web page. It intercepts network requests, enabling offline caching and background sync. It is also the mechanism behind push notifications. Service workers only run on HTTPS domains.

We implement a service worker update flow that detects new versions, prompts users to refresh, and activates the new service worker immediately on confirmation. This prevents users from staying on stale cached versions while ensuring updates are not disruptive.

Yes - PWAs are indexed by search engines like any website. Because they are server-rendered or statically generated (not SPA-only), Google's crawler sees real HTML content. This makes PWAs a superior choice to native apps for SEO-driven acquisition strategies.

We run Lighthouse PWA audits targeting 100/100 on the installability and reliability criteria, measure Time to Interactive and Largest Contentful Paint with real user monitoring, and track install prompt acceptance rate and push notification opt-in rates as engagement KPIs.

A PWA conversion of an existing web app is scoped as a fixed piece of work once we see the codebase: service worker, caching strategy, install flow and an offline story. Building a new PWA from scratch takes 8-14 weeks, depending on how much has to work offline - offline mode and sync alone is 80-160 hours in our model. You get a Lighthouse-audited build with the service worker patterns documented.
