With PWAs, your clients do not need to choose between the two anymore.
PWAs override the limitations of a website and bring to consumers the usability and rich functionality of an app.
This arrangement makes everyone happy.
How do PWAs work?
In Googles own words,PWAs are reliable, fast, and engaging.
PWAsareprogressive, responsive, secure, and always up-to-date.
How can PWAs help your clients?
Now comes the big question.
PWAs cut down on costs
Businesses can finally rest easy with their decision not to invest in mobile applications.
Developing dedicated apps is an expensive process.
Thebarrier to entry in the App Store is high, and discoverability is low.
This makes it probably not worth your time to set up a dedicated mobile system team.
YouTube, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and Twitter are often the main culprits.
Where does this leave small businesses even if they were to create a great app?
And because Google is backing the format, we will see wide embrace of the concept soon.
In fact, many big retail websites have already begun on this path.
And if they havent, small businesses can catch up too.
And yes, in my experience, even removing minor friction points has the power to dramatically increase installs.
You have to try it to believe how fast.
PWAs provide an app-like experience
Lets face it.
We love apps because they are devised for our phones and tablets.
They maximize the potential of mobile devices and provide users with a rich and immersive experience.
They will abandon you in no time.
Apps also make users skeptical because of the array of permissions they often ask for.
PWAs, on the other hand, bypass all of that and are secure.
They load on the home screen instantly and open in the blink of an eye.
There is no downtime for a PWA
Again, this is where businesses risk losing customers.
Apps, too, falter sometimes they just crash.
Also, what if the user has no space on their machine to update it?
PWAs dont take up space on user devices like apps do.
Will this make apps redundant?
That remains to be seen.
It cites examples of companies that have benefited hugely from PWAs.
You should pay attention to that.
Apple has also addedsupport for PWAs with its iOS 11.3update.
The most popular apps will continue to flourish.
With PWAs, the game has changed.
