Question 1

How do I get a PWA development proposal from ShubhDigi?

Accepted Answer

Share your current site or app, target devices, and goals via our contact page or a free consultation. We clarify offline needs, installability expectations, and push strategy, then return a milestone-based proposal. Architecture recommendations come with rationale so you understand caching trade-offs. There is no obligation after discovery—many teams use the proposal to align stakeholders before committing budget.

Question 2

What is included in ShubhDigi's PWA development services?

Accepted Answer

Engagements typically cover a PWA audit, service worker architecture, offline-first data sync, web app manifest and installability, push notification systems, performance hardening, and launch support. Store wrapping (TWA) is available as a follow-on when Play Store presence matters. Documentation of caching decisions is part of delivery. Exact scope is tailored so you are not paying for offline depth your users will not use.

Question 3

How is a PWA different from a native mobile app?

Accepted Answer

A PWA runs from a browser and installs without app-store review, sharing one codebase with your website. Native apps get deeper access to device APIs and guaranteed store discovery but require separate iOS/Android builds and review cycles. Many products start with a PWA for reach and speed, then add native only when a specific device capability or store presence justifies the extra investment. We help you make that call honestly rather than defaulting to native.

Question 4

Can my existing website be converted into a PWA?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in most cases. We audit your current site for HTTPS, architecture, and asset structure, then add a service worker, manifest, and offline strategy without a full rebuild. Sites with heavy legacy JavaScript or non-HTTPS hosting need more groundwork first. The audit tells you honestly whether conversion is a few weeks of work or needs foundational fixes before installability is realistic.

Question 5

Do PWAs support offline usage and push notifications?

Accepted Answer

Yes—both are core PWA capabilities we implement regularly. Offline support ranges from cached read-only content to full offline data capture with background sync. Push notifications work well on Android and desktop; iOS Safari supports push only after the PWA is installed to the home screen, which we design around explicitly. We set expectations per platform so nothing is oversold.

Question 6

How long does it take to build a Progressive Web App?

Accepted Answer

Focused PWA builds—service worker, manifest, offline basics, and push—typically take six to twelve weeks depending on existing site complexity and offline depth required. E-commerce storefronts and field-ops apps with heavier offline sync take longer and are phased. We recommend starting with a sharp offline and install experience rather than boiling the ocean on day one.

Question 7

Can a PWA be listed on the Play Store or App Store?

Accepted Answer

Yes for Play Store, using Trusted Web Activity (TWA) packaging so your PWA appears as an installable app with minimal extra code. App Store listing is more restrictive—Apple's review guidelines limit pure PWA wrapping, so we are honest when a thin native wrapper or a separate native build is the better path for iOS store presence. We scope this explicitly rather than assuming parity across stores.

Question 8

Why choose ShubhDigi for PWA development in India?

Accepted Answer

We engineer PWAs as real products—deliberate caching, install flows designed to convert, and push that respects users—not a checkbox service worker for a Lighthouse score. Delivery is transparent with demos and documentation. Connected services for website, SEO, and cloud hosting support the PWA once it is live. Founders and product teams get an accountable partner from audit through launch and monitoring.

Question 9

Will push notifications work on iPhones?

Accepted Answer

Yes, since iOS 16.4, but only after the user installs the PWA to their home screen first—push does not work in a regular Safari tab. We design install prompts and onboarding to make that installation step clear, and we plan fallback channels like email or SMS for users who never install. This iOS constraint is explained upfront so push strategy is not built on a false assumption of parity with Android.

Question 10

Do you handle offline data conflicts when connectivity returns?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Background sync queues actions locally and replays them once the connection returns, and we design conflict resolution rules—last-write-wins, merge, or user prompts—based on how critical the data is. IndexedDB structures are planned so queued actions survive app restarts. This is scoped deliberately for field-ops and form-heavy PWAs where silent data loss would be costly.

Question 11

How do you decide what to cache offline?

Accepted Answer

We map routes and assets by how often they change and how critical they are offline, then assign cache-first, network-first, or stale-while-revalidate strategies accordingly. Static assets and app shell get aggressive caching; frequently changing data uses network-first with offline fallbacks. This route-aware approach avoids the common failure mode of one blanket caching rule breaking either freshness or offline access.

Question 12

Can you audit and fix our existing PWA implementation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We run a Lighthouse and manual audit to find stale caching bugs, broken manifests, missing install criteria, and performance regressions. Many existing PWAs fail installability checks or serve outdated bundles due to service worker versioning mistakes. We provide a prioritized fix list before any larger rebuild, so you are not paying to redo work that is already sound.

Question 13

What technology stack do you use for PWA development?

Accepted Answer

We typically build PWAs with modern JavaScript frameworks—including but not limited to Next.js and React with TypeScript—using Workbox-style service worker patterns for caching and background sync. This keeps your PWA and existing website in one codebase where possible. If your constraints require a different framework, we evaluate fit honestly rather than forcing a default stack onto an unsuitable project.

Question 14

How do you measure PWA success after launch?

Accepted Answer

We track install rate, push opt-in and retention rate, return-visit frequency, and Core Web Vitals alongside standard product analytics. These metrics show whether the offline and install investment is actually changing user behavior, not just passing a Lighthouse audit. Dashboards are set up during launch so the data is visible from week one, not reconstructed later.

Question 15

Do you provide post-launch support and monitoring?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Retainers cover service worker version management, cache strategy tuning, push campaign support, and performance regression monitoring. Progressive web apps need active caretaking as your site content and dependencies change—an unmaintained service worker becomes the exact stale-cache problem it was meant to prevent. Cadence and scope are defined per engagement.

Question 16

How do you price PWA development engagements?

Accepted Answer

Pricing reflects scope: offline depth, push complexity, e-commerce or field-ops data sync, and store-wrapping needs. After discovery we provide transparent milestone estimates. Fixed-scope PWA foundations and time-boxed audit-plus-build models are both available. You see what each phase delivers before committing to the next.

Question 17

Can PWAs handle secure logins and payments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. HTTPS is a baseline requirement for service workers, which also benefits secure authentication and payment flows. We implement standard secure session handling and integrate tokenized payment providers rather than storing sensitive card data client-side. PCI-relevant flows are designed to keep sensitive processing off-device wherever the payment provider supports it.

Question 18

Do you sign NDAs and protect confidential product plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes. NDAs are standard before sensitive discussions. Access to repositories and environments is least-privilege. We follow secure handling practices for credentials and user data during delivery. Confidentiality expectations are written into the engagement agreement.

Question 19

Will we own the source code and IP?

Accepted Answer

Yes—commercial agreements assign product IP to you as specified in the contract. We deliver repositories, service worker documentation, and manifest configuration notes so your team or future partners can continue work. Third-party licenses remain subject to their own terms. Ownership is clarified before build begins.

Question 20

What happens after the initial PWA launch?

Accepted Answer

We can continue with growth support: push campaign iteration, caching refinement as content changes, performance monitoring, and store-wrapping if you later want Play Store presence. Alternatively we hand off with documentation and a stabilization window. Many teams keep a lightweight retainer since service workers need active caretaking, not a one-time build.
