PWA mobile apps from £499. Guaranteed Google Play listing for £100 more.

A Progressive Web App (PWA) is a mobile app built with modern web technology that installs onto Android, iPhone and desktop straight from your website. One codebase, three platforms, full-screen with its own home-screen icon, push notifications and offline support. When you also want a Play Store badge for credibility or distribution, we add a guaranteed listing for an extra £100. Native Android builds are still on the menu when an app genuinely needs them.

Why a PWA wins for most businesses

The cheapest, fastest route to a real mobile app, without losing what matters.

For most UK businesses, a PWA gets you 90% of what a native app delivers at a fraction of the cost and timeline. Customers tap "Add to Home Screen" and from then on it launches like any other app: full-screen, your icon on the home screen, push notifications, offline cache, the lot.

One codebase, three platforms. Android, iPhone and desktop, no separate iOS build to fund.
No app-store gatekeeping by default. Ship updates the moment they are ready, no review queue, no "your app has been rejected" emails.
Skip the store revenue cut. Take payments on the open web and keep the 15-30% Apple and Google would otherwise take on in-app purchases.
Installable from your website. Customers find you in Google, install from the same page, no separate store listing needed.
Push notifications and offline use. Send promos, booking reminders or job updates; cache key screens for poor signal.
Discoverable in search. Unlike a native app, every page is indexable by Google.
Lighter to maintain. One bug fix, one deploy, every user updated.

When does a PWA not fit? If you need deep hardware access (Bluetooth peripherals, advanced camera APIs on iOS, background location for hours), heavy on-device ML, or your customers strictly look for you in the Play Store. In those cases we either bolt on the £100 Play Store listing, or quote a native Android build instead.

What we build

Apps that earn their place on the home screen.

Customer-facing apps

Loyalty, ordering, bookings, memberships. Apps that give your regulars a reason to come back.

Field and engineer apps

Offline-capable job apps. Photos, signatures, forms and status updates sync when signal returns.

Internal staff tools

Clock-in, inventory, safety checks, warehouse picking. Tap-first interfaces for gloves-on work.

Companion apps

Mobile counterpart to a web product, with push notifications, barcode scanning or camera features.

Tech we use

PWA by default. Native Android where it earns its keep.

Our default is a PWA built with modern web tooling: React or Vue on top of a service worker, packaged with a web manifest so it installs cleanly on every modern phone. It is faster to ship, cheaper to maintain, and works on iPhone and desktop without a second build.

When an app genuinely needs deep native APIs, we build native Android in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, or use React Native or Flutter where one codebase needs to cover iOS from day one. We will tell you honestly which fits, not which is trendy this quarter.

PWA (React or Vue + service worker) for most consumer and staff apps
Native Android (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose) for performance-sensitive apps
React Native or Flutter when you need iOS from day one
Server components on your own cloud, not a third-party black box
Play Console set up under your business, not ours, when listing is included

Timeline

A PWA is usually live in two to four weeks. Native Android in four to eight.

Scope and design

One week. We agree the screens, the data model and the first-release feature list.

Build

One to four weeks. Weekly demos on your phone, not a simulator on our laptop.

Install & test

A few days. Real users install the PWA from your site (or join the closed Play track), feedback fed straight into fixes.

Launch

PWA goes live the moment you approve. With the £100 add-on, the Play Store listing follows once the store approves. You hold the keys.
