A Progressive Web App (PWA) is a website that behaves like a mobile app. Customers can install it on their phone home screen directly from the browser — there is no app store to deal with, no download fee, and no update process to manage.

What is a PWA?

Every Sky High Pacific website is built as a PWA. That means the same website your customers visit in their browser can be added to their phone as an app, with your logo on their home screen.

How customers install it

  • A customer opens your website on their phone.
  • They see a prompt to add it to their home screen.
  • Your logo appears like any other app — one tap to open.

Benefits for your business

  • No app store fees or approval process
  • Your customers keep your business one tap away for repeat orders and enquiries
  • Updates happen automatically — customers always see your latest menu, products and prices
An installable app is included with every Sky High Pacific plan — at no extra cost.
