Progressive web apps · from £2,000 · any device
An app your customers installwithout going to the App Store.
It installs to the home screen, works offline and runs on iPhone, Android and desktop — from one codebase.
The problem
Does any of this sound familiar?
The native-app quote
You have an idea for an app — booking, customer portal, internal tool — and you’ve been told it will cost £30k and take a year.
Two of everything
One build for iPhone, another for Android, a store submission for each — and the same again every time something changes.
A website that can’t keep up
Your customers need to log in, book or come back regularly, and a brochure site was never built for that.
What I do
What is a Progressive Web App?
A Progressive Web App is a website that behaves like an app.
It installs to the home screen of any phone or tablet — iPhone, Android, whatever your customer uses. It works offline. It loads instantly. And it runs on desktop too, without a second codebase.
If your customers need to log in, book appointments, access their account, or return regularly to your service — a PWA is usually the right answer.
Deliverables
- App-quality experience for your customers
- No App Store submission or approval process
- No separate iOS and Android build to maintain
- A fraction of the cost of native development
Good fits for a PWA
- Booking systems (appointments, tables, services)
- Customer portals (order history, documents, invoices)
- Loyalty programmes
- Internal tools (staff scheduling, inventory, checklists)
- Subscription-based content or services
- Any service where customers return regularly
Who it’s for
Three situations where this fits.
Businesses that take bookings
Appointments, tables or services — on the customer’s home screen, one tap away, without an app store in between.
Businesses with returning customers
A portal for orders, documents and invoices, or a loyalty programme people actually open.
Teams replacing a spreadsheet
Scheduling, inventory or checklists as an internal tool that works on every phone in the building.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
What’s the difference between a website and a PWA?
A website is primarily for information and enquiries. A PWA behaves like an app — it installs to the home screen, works offline and supports richer interactivity like bookings, portals or accounts. If customers need to log in, book or return regularly, a PWA is usually the right answer.
Does it work on iPhone as well as Android?
Yes. It installs to the home screen of any phone or tablet — iPhone, Android, whatever your customer uses — and runs on desktop too, without a second codebase.
Do my customers need to visit an app store?
No. They open your address in the browser and add it to their home screen. There is no store submission or approval process.
I’ve been burned by a freelancer before. Why is this different?
Three things: a written contract agreed before work starts, split payment (50% to start, 50% on launch), and a refund guarantee at the design stage. You never pay in full upfront, and you own everything from day one.
What if I need changes after launch?
Most owners add the £250/month Care plan — hosting, updates and two hours of edits a month, no lock-in. Or take the keys and run it yourself.
