Add to Home Screen
Allow users to save your service directly to their mobile or tablet home screen for quick and convenient access
Progressive Web App
Give users fast, convenient access to your digital services from any device, with an app-like experience delivered through the web.
Overview
Our Progressive Web App (PWA) solution transforms your existing digital service into a fast, engaging and mobile-friendly experience that users can access directly from their device.
Unlike a traditional mobile app, a PWA does not need to be downloaded from an app store. Users can access it through their browser and save it directly to their home screen, making it easier to return to trusted information, services and support whenever they need it.
Ideal for services such as Family Hubs, Adult Social Care, Children’s Services and community information, PWAs provide a convenient way to increase engagement and create a stronger connection with your audiences. Integrated with your wider PPL Innovate solution, content can be managed centrally, helping reduce duplication and administrative effort.
