Progressive Web App Conversion in Derby
Converting a Derby organisation's website into an installable app-like experience, which is worth doing when the honest requirement is capability rather than a store listing. A progressive web app installs from the browser and works offline; what it cannot do is appear where customers look for apps, and that is frequently what was actually wanted.
Why this comes up
The problem
A progressive web app was built to avoid app store fees, and customers still search the store and find nothing.
What you get
What we deliver
- The real requirement established — capability, presence in a store, or lower cost
- Offline behaviour designed, deciding what works without a connection and what does not
- Installability implemented properly, including how users are prompted to add it
- Platform limitations stated plainly, particularly around notifications and storage
- Performance addressed, since an installed slow site is still a slow site
- Update behaviour handled so users are not left on a cached old version

Working in Derby
East Midlands
Derby is an engineering city — aerospace, rail and automotive supply chains — so the work here skews toward integration with existing plant systems, quality and compliance workflows, and reporting that has to stand up to audit.
Most work here involves connecting shop-floor and plant systems to reporting the rest of the business can actually read, plus quality and compliance workflows that have to survive an audit.

Progressive Web App Conversion in Derby — common questions
- When is this the right choice?
- When the need is offline capability, home screen access and a faster experience for existing web users. It avoids store review, works across platforms from one codebase and updates instantly — all genuine advantages where discovery through a store is not the point.
- What are the limitations?
- Platform support differs, notably on iOS. Push notification behaviour, background activity and how long stored data survives all vary, and storage can be reclaimed by the operating system — so anything depending on data persisting indefinitely needs a different approach.
- Does it replace a native app?
- For some products entirely, and for others not at all. Applications needing deep device integration, reliable background work or a presence customers actively search for in a store are poorly served, whereas a content or transactional experience frequently loses nothing.
- What goes wrong after launch?
- Caching. Service workers hold content aggressively, so a user can remain on an old version for days without realising, and an update strategy that prompts or refreshes deliberately is the difference between an installable site and one where nobody sees your changes.
- Do you work with businesses across Derbyshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East Midlands, including Derby and the surrounding Derbyshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Derby businesses do you usually work with?
- Most work here involves connecting shop-floor and plant systems to reporting the rest of the business can actually read, plus quality and compliance workflows that have to survive an audit. Beyond that we work across Advanced Manufacturing, Aerospace, Rail Engineering, Automotive and Logistics.
- Do you cover the areas around Derby?
- Yes — we work throughout East Midlands, including Nottingham, Leicester, Loughborough, Birmingham. Derby is an urban area of roughly 260,000+, and we take on work across the wider Derbyshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
