I. It widens your company’s horizon
Sure it does! If your business rivals have mobile versions of their web-pages and you don’t: rest assured – they will eventually beat you. Just try to use a common web-site on your smartphone and then – a PWA, which serves the same purpose. Clearly the PWA app wins this due to its convenience for a potential user and better optimization for smartphones. And if you think that people use smartphones less than other devices like laptops and PCs – they don’t. The latest investigations show that modern people tend to spend their time in smartphones rather than PCs. Yeah, the development of the smartphones brought us to the point, when using bigger computers only makes sense at work. Mobile internet has also become faster and more affordable, not to mention Wi-Fi availability in any modern cities and towns.
II. It’s affordable for businesses and fast for users
As the PWA technology uses already existing, working web-sites as a basement for the future PWA apps it takes significantly less time for the web-developers to create it. Hence there’s no need in the back-end, while developing a PWA, very much like all other kinds of work. Instead of thousands of working hours needed for an app development, the development of an average PWA app takes only a few hundreds of hours. Also what is really important about PWAs – their user-response speed. Unlike traditional web-sites, PWAs are already preloaded mobile web-pages, which saves user’s time and makes online-shopping (for example) more comfortable.
III. You can run it right away
If you are to develop a common app you should consider that you’ll have to get AppStore’s and PlayMarket’s approval in order to submit your app to their platforms. On the other hand your PWA is completely your business and as PWAs aren’t usually available on apps’ platforms you don’t have to go through quite a long inspection period.
Taking all of the mentioned above into consideration it can be stated that PWA apps are a really good solution for ecommerce. No wonder that ecommerce PWA apps are one of the most wide-spread examples of PWA-tech’s usage.
