How Are Numbers Like That Even Possible?

PWAs completely change how a website visitor is engaged and communicated with.

When a website visitor lands on your Progressive Web App, there’s a request asking permission to add the site to their home screen.

Once the user clicks to add, the fully functioning website is added to their home screen and you can send communications via push notifications directly to the device the app was added to!

No opt-in form, no text messaging…

You’ve just created a much more engaging far less intrusive way to reach and communicate with your audience!!

This means the service you will be providing to your clients and potential customers is of immense value. Progressive Web Apps make it possible.

By turning websites into PWAs you will be able to:

Increase User Engagement of COLD TRAFFIC
Decrease Bounce Rates
