“According to Gartner, over 50% of generalist apps will be replaced by Progressive Web Apps this year.”
Why choose PWAs?
Native smartphone apps are certainly fast and user-friendly, but the development costs are
significant and far greater than those of a responsive site. Furthermore, online consumers
may not be inclined to download the app to place a single order. In fact, most
users spend 77% of their time on three apps, and installing a new app is a
complex process for many users.
Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) combine the benefits of native apps with the advantages of websites in a single solution. With PWAs, websites behave similarly to a native app.
For this reason, many online stores are already considering implementing a PWA.
Progressive Web Apps are redefining the way consumers use their mobile devices through fast, engaging, app-like browsing experiences.

What changes with PWAs?
Usually, online store ecommerce platforms are based on a CMS that simultaneously manages the backend and the frontend. With PWAs, this concept undergoes a historic innovation, and it is possible, for example, to have the backend on Magento 2 and the frontend on a PWA such as Vue StoreFront.
All this is possible thanks to the ‘headless‘ architecture, which allows you to choose the best back/front solution without any compromises. The connection between frontend and backend occurs via API, allowing you to expose all the features without sacrificing the user experience.
