Build and maintain PWA install banners
Let visitors install your web app like a real app — with a polished install banner, manifest, icons and service worker. We build it, test it on Chrome/Edge/Safari and keep it maintained.
- Desktop & mobile
- Brand-consistent design
- Maintenance & browser updates
What we deliver
From banner to full PWA setup
Not a throwaway snippet — a complete Progressive Web App experience that matches your brand and Laravel or WordPress stack.
Manifest, icons & SW
webmanifest, app icons, theme-color and service worker so browsers support install and basic offline.
- manifest.webmanifest
- Icons (192 / 512) & splash
- Service worker registration
Maintenance & updates
Browsers change PWA behaviour. We keep testing, fix visibility bugs and keep the banner compatible.
- Chrome, Edge, Safari checks
- Z-index & layout fixes
- Docs for your team

Process
Live in four steps
Quickly integrated into existing Laravel or WordPress apps — without breaking the rest of the UI.

Stack, branding, HTTPS and any existing manifest/SW. We define scope and browsers.
Build & design
Banner, CSS, icons and manifest in your brand. Copy in the right language(s).
Test
Install flow on desktop and mobile, dismiss, standalone and Lighthouse/PWA checks.
Launch & maintain
Deploy, monitoring and updates when browsers or frameworks change.
Benefits
Why a PWA install banner?
App feel
Users open your product from the home screen — without an App Store.
Higher retention
A home-screen icon drives return visits and engagement.
Low friction
No native app release: faster to ship, cheaper to maintain.
Brand control
Your banner, colours and copy — not only a generic browser prompt.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does a PWA install banner work on iPhone?
Safari supports “Add to Home Screen”; automatic beforeinstallprompt is limited. We show a clear instruction flow or banner for iOS/iPadOS, plus the full install flow on Chrome/Edge.
Do I need HTTPS?
Yes. Service workers and install prompts require a secure context (HTTPS). On our hosting that is standard.
Can this go into my existing Laravel app?
Yes. We integrate manifest, service worker, layout meta and banner component in Blade/Vite — as we already do in TheraBook, ProjectForge and others.
Do you maintain it after launch?
Yes. Maintenance packages cover browser changes, visibility bugs, icon updates and small copy tweaks.
