To support that goal, PWAs adhere to certain global standards and formats that make it easier to catalog, rank, and surface content in search engines. For instance, to become a PWA, a website must have HTTPS support and include a&nbsp;web app manifest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to providing SEO advantages, these modern technical requirements make the application more secure and enable certain progressive features like adding a website shortcut to a mobile device&#8217;s Home Screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"section-wrapper\" data-id=\"4HTSkz\"><section class=\"wp-block-gutenverse-section guten-element guten-section guten-4HTSkz layout-boxed align-stretch\"><div class=\"guten-background-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"guten-shape-divider guten-shape-divider-top\"><\/div><div class=\"guten-shape-divider guten-shape-divider-bottom\"><\/div><div class=\"guten-container guten-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenverse-column guten-element guten-column guten-9Rd4vx\"><div class=\"guten-background-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"sticky-wrapper\" data-id=\"9Rd4vx\"><div class=\"guten-column-wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They&#8217;re Installable<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PWAs have the ability to be installed on an iOS or Android device. This empowers users to access that app via an app icon and ultimately creates a more seamless and integrated user experience. PWAs don\u2019t&nbsp;<em>need<\/em>&nbsp;to be installed to function. However, providing this option to users enables the app to perform and feel more like a native application, thereby reducing friction from the&nbsp;re-engagement process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"section-wrapper\" data-id=\"MzUYPA\"><section class=\"wp-block-gutenverse-section guten-element guten-section guten-MzUYPA layout-boxed align-stretch\"><div class=\"guten-background-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"guten-shape-divider guten-shape-divider-top\"><\/div><div class=\"guten-shape-divider guten-shape-divider-bottom\"><\/div><div class=\"guten-container guten-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenverse-column guten-element guten-column guten-nx49Yx\"><div class=\"guten-background-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"sticky-wrapper\" data-id=\"nx49Yx\"><div class=\"guten-column-wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They\u2019re Linkable<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike native mobile applications, traditional web applications are accessible via a direct URL without requiring setup or installation. That URL structure makes it easy to encourage users to engage with specific content by linking directly to a page you\u2019d like them to view and even anchoring to specific text. For native mobile applications, driving specific user actions within the app can require more UI development and&nbsp;strategic in-app communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"section-wrapper\" data-id=\"C2Etov\"><section class=\"wp-block-gutenverse-section guten-element guten-section guten-C2Etov layout-boxed align-stretch\"><div class=\"guten-background-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"guten-shape-divider guten-shape-divider-top\"><\/div><div class=\"guten-shape-divider guten-shape-divider-bottom\"><\/div><div class=\"guten-container guten-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenverse-column guten-element guten-column guten-e4yKSj\"><div class=\"guten-background-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"sticky-wrapper\" data-id=\"e4yKSj\"><div class=\"guten-column-wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They&#8217;re Responsive<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of 2023,&nbsp;over half of all internet traffic&nbsp;comes from mobile devices. As users continue to interact with and seek out content via various channels, brands have been forced to reimagine their user experience. Today\u2019s users expect a seamless,&nbsp;omnichannel experience&nbsp;across desktop, mobile, and brick-and-mortar touchpoints. Responsive design \u2014 the ability of a web application interface to automatically adapt to a device\u2019s layout and individual user\u2019s behavior &#8211; is table stakes for delivering on these heightened expectations. PWAs leverage modern technologies to ensure a web application UI is flexible and responsive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"section-wrapper\" data-id=\"LgzqF0\"><section class=\"wp-block-gutenverse-section guten-element guten-section guten-LgzqF0 layout-boxed align-stretch\"><div class=\"guten-background-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"guten-shape-divider guten-shape-divider-top\"><\/div><div class=\"guten-shape-divider guten-shape-divider-bottom\"><\/div><div class=\"guten-container guten-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenverse-column guten-element guten-column guten-Mv3TR1\"><div class=\"guten-background-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"sticky-wrapper\" data-id=\"Mv3TR1\"><div class=\"guten-column-wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They Provide Built-In Security Benefits<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PWAs are built using HTTPS, which encrypts data shared between the app and the server. This protocol makes it inherently more challenging for hackers to access sensitive data. Additionally, PWAs rely on Service Workers to enable app functionality and require an app manifest that controls how an app may be launched and displayed. Compared with native applications, PWAs have more limited permissions, which typically reduces exposure to security threats. These combined technologies ultimately help prevent attacks and fortify app security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"section-wrapper\" data-id=\"AtM5YD\"><section class=\"wp-block-gutenverse-section guten-element guten-section guten-AtM5YD layout-boxed align-stretch\"><div class=\"guten-background-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"guten-shape-divider guten-shape-divider-top\"><\/div><div class=\"guten-shape-divider guten-shape-divider-bottom\"><\/div><div class=\"guten-container guten-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenverse-column guten-element guten-column guten-qbxxVI\"><div class=\"guten-background-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"sticky-wrapper\" data-id=\"qbxxVI\"><div class=\"guten-column-wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They\u2019re More Cost-Effective To Develop Than Native Mobile Apps<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PWAs can be built using web technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which makes them a more cost-effective alternative to developing a native mobile application for each operating system (iOS, Android, etc.). Compared to web apps, native mobile applications typically take more time and resources to build, have unique requirements for each operating system, and have associated&nbsp;app store maintenance&nbsp;fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"section-wrapper\" data-id=\"NsBYZw\"><section class=\"wp-block-gutenverse-section guten-element guten-section guten-NsBYZw layout-boxed align-stretch\"><div class=\"guten-background-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"guten-shape-divider guten-shape-divider-top\"><\/div><div class=\"guten-shape-divider guten-shape-divider-bottom\"><\/div><div class=\"guten-container guten-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenverse-column guten-element guten-column guten-SIVfjr\"><div class=\"guten-background-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"sticky-wrapper\" data-id=\"SIVfjr\"><div class=\"guten-column-wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They Outperform Standard Web Apps<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because PWAs are designed to be lightweight from a data consumption standpoint, they have better load times, impeccable responsiveness, and more seamless animations than traditional web apps. This all equates to a more delightful, scaleable, and flexible user experience across various devices. PWAs are also known for their ability to use&nbsp;progressive enhancement techniques&nbsp;to work across different browsers and devices even when those browsers don\u2019t share the same capabilities, making them inherently more compatible than standard web apps and native mobile apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"section-wrapper\" data-id=\"kdpihJ\"><section class=\"wp-block-gutenverse-section guten-element guten-section guten-kdpihJ layout-boxed align-stretch\"><div class=\"guten-background-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"guten-shape-divider guten-shape-divider-top\"><\/div><div class=\"guten-shape-divider guten-shape-divider-bottom\"><\/div><div class=\"guten-container guten-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenverse-column guten-element guten-column guten-sMBFMw\"><div class=\"guten-background-overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"sticky-wrapper\" data-id=\"sMBFMw\"><div class=\"guten-column-wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They Provide More Opportunities To Enhance User Engagement<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Push notifications are arguably the most powerful tool available to native apps to keep users engaged, boost retention, and ultimately increase user lifetime value (LTV). One of the hallmarks of progressive apps is that they leverage&nbsp;web push notifications&nbsp;to re-engage users even when they&#8217;ve exited a website. Because web push notifications&nbsp;work on both desktop and mobile devices, implementing this technology can also help you create a seamless, consistent, and engaging user experience across different devices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m extremely pleased to announce that we&#8217;re now creating Progressive Web Apps for our clients!
