PWA - Progressive Web App

Progressive Web App (PWA) is a hybrid application between a normal web application and a native mobile application.

Sidea Group specialises in the development of Progressive Web Apps (PWA), hybrid applications between a normal web application and a native mobile, dealing with the entire project, from the analysis phase, process definition, development, user experience and deployment.

The term “progressive” refers to the introduction of new features that, if initially perceived as normal websites, progressively assume a behaviour increasingly similar to multiplatform mobile applications.

The main features of a PWA:

• Progressive: they work regardless of the browser chosen because they are built with principles of progressive improvement

• Responsive: they adapt to the size of the displays of all types of existing devices.

• Secure: they are exposed and reached through HTTPS protocol.

• App-like: the user has a browsing and interaction experience similar to native applications.

• Searchable: the various search engines index them as “applications”.

• Reactivatable: Web notifications make it easy to reactivate.

• Installable: each user can “save” access to the application by shortcut on their homepage, without having to go through the various reference app stores.

• Linkable: they can be shared using the url without complex installations.

Thanks to these aspects and other advantages such as the use of few resources for implementation, the little memory space required on the device and automatic updating, progressive web apps represent the applications of the future.
