Installable web app (PWA)
Make a website installable from the browser, with offline pages and push alerts.
What you get
What is included.
This is for teams that want an app on the home screen without the cost of building and maintaining native apps in two stores. It suits event sites, content sites and member tools.
We add the app layer to the site you already have and test it on real phones.
- A web app manifest and icons, so people can add your site to their home screen
- A service worker for offline pages and faster loading
- Push notifications, where the platform allows them
- Testing on real phones, on iPhone and Android
- Works on top of the site you already have, with no separate app to build
What we did before
Case studies from real projects.
For a Swoogo partner agency, we turned an event microsite into a fully offline, push-enabled app that people install from the browser, with no native app behind it. For a second event, we converted another microsite to an installable app, with a manifest, service worker and icons. We also added push notifications to an existing exhibitor-registration build for a trade-show account.
An Event App With No Signal Required, and No Native Build Behind It
A Swoogo event microsite converted into an installable, fully offline-capable app with push notifications — no separate native app required.

How it works
Four steps, in plain terms.
01
You tell us what the site should do offline
Which pages people need without a signal, and what should reach them as an alert.
02
We check your site
We look at what can be cached safely and what must always be fresh.
03
We add the app layer
Manifest, icons, service worker and, if you want them, push notifications.
04
Test and hand over
We test install, offline and alerts on real phones, then write down how it works.
FAQ
Common questions.
What is a PWA?
An installable web app. People add your site to their home screen and it opens like an app, with no app store.
Do I still need a native app?
Often not. For events and content sites, a PWA gives the same home-screen presence from a site you already own and maintain.
Can it work without internet?
Yes, for the pages and data we choose to store on the phone. We agree which ones before building.
Can it send push notifications?
Yes, where the phone and browser allow it. We set them up and test them on real devices.
