PWA development: apps in the browser.

Smartlegen · HealthTech

The app that connects the nursing home.

Smartlegen wanted to bring internal communication, activities and experiences at nursing homes together in one place, for staff, residents and next of kin. STUDIO X developed a tailored solution with an app, PWA and admin dashboard on a shared backend.

DNB Eiendom · Finance

A digital solution for the whole of estate agency Norway.

DNB Eiendom wanted a professional digital solution for collecting, ranking and presenting results across brokers throughout the country. We developed and operate a comprehensive platform for the industry.

Norsk Helseportal · HealthTech

A professional meeting place for doctors and healthcare staff.

Norsk Helseportal wanted a unified digital platform where healthcare professionals can share knowledge, take courses and stay up to date professionally. We developed and operate a secure professional platform with BankID at its core.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a PWA and a regular website?

A PWA can be installed as an app on your phone, work offline, send push notifications and run in its own window without browser elements. It behaves like an app but is built on web technology.

Does a PWA work on iPhone?

Yes. iOS supports PWAs, including add-to-home-screen and, since 2023, Web Push notifications.

When should I choose a PWA over a native app?

A PWA is the right choice when you want to distribute internally without App Store friction, update frequently, reach users on all platforms with a single codebase, or have a limited budget. Choose native when you need advanced hardware integration (BankID app, NFC, camera effects), App Store visibility, or deep OS integration.

Can PWAs support BankID and secure authentication?

Yes. PWAs run in a browser context and can use BankID via redirect flow, ID-porten and other OIDC/OAuth2-based solutions in exactly the same way as regular websites. For BankID app integration (strong push notification), a native app is required.

How much do we save with a PWA compared to native?

Development costs are often lower because we develop one codebase instead of two (iOS and Android). Maintenance costs are also lower: one update rolls out immediately to all users. You may also avoid App Store and Play Store fees if publishing there is not necessary.

Questions by sector

PWA has different requirements depending on the sector. Here are questions and answers for the industries we work closely with.

Can a PWA be used for patient portals and health services?

HealthTech →Yes. A PWA is often a particularly good fit for patient portals: it reaches all users without App Store installation, can run on hospital PCs and patients' phones, and can meet privacy and security requirements with the right setup. We have built patient PWAs for both public health trusts and private providers.
