PWA FAQs
What is a progressive web app?
A PWA is a website built with modern web technology so it loads fast, can work offline and can be installed on a phone’s home screen like an app.
Can a PWA replace a native app?
For many business uses such as catalogues, ordering, bookings and portals, yes. If you need heavy device features or app-store presence, a native or cross-platform app may be better, and we will advise honestly.
Do PWAs work on iPhone?
Yes. iPhone users can add a PWA to the home screen, and recent iOS versions support web push notifications for installed PWAs.
How long does a PWA take?
Upgrading an existing site usually takes a few weeks; a new PWA typically takes 2–4 months depending on features.
How much does a PWA cost in Saudi Arabia?
