Native Mobile vs. Progressive Web App: Developer Evaluation Guide
With just over half of all internet traffic serving mobile devices, your users expect a smartphone-friendly experience. But does that mean you have to invest in the creation and maintenance of native mobile apps?
Progressive web apps (PWAs) offer an alternative to native mobile development. PWAs give your users a native app-like experience but, under the hood, they're just standard web applications with some mobile-friendly additions. Depending on your app's needs, PWAs could help you get to market faster, improve discoverability, and reduce maintenance costs.
Is a PWA right for your next project? Download this evaluation guide where you’ll learn:
- The fundamentals of progressive web apps
