Why are Progressive Web Apps are right for your community?

More and more municipalities are looking to enhance two-way communication between residents and local government leaders, promote special events, and provide municipal information in an affordable way.

What's so IMPORTANT about Progressive Web Apps (PWAs)?

Currently, native apps are installed directly on to your phone, while Progressive Web Apps allow you to run an app through the mobile browser of the phone. Progressive Web Apps are not “like” apps, they ARE apps. They are more than a mobile-optimized website with responsive design. The real difference between a Progressive Web App versus websites and native apps lies in something called the Service Worker. The Service Worker is a piece of technology that runs behind the scenes of Progressive Web Apps and allows the app to be made available offline and offer features that don’t need a web-page or user interaction, allowing communities to stay connected 24/7!
