PWA Examples

As mobile app development is evolving, many leading businesses – including Starbucks, Spotify and Pinterest, have been switching to progressive web apps to deliver better user experience for their customers. And this is not a coincidence – with PWA technology, companies are able to achieve up to 36% higher conversion rates, 50% higher customer engagement, and they invest much less on their PWA compared to a native mobile app.

Connectedly Woke

Connectedly woke is a family run and founded business. Sarah Corrigan (founder) struggled to get her business noticed by others after trying all social media platforms she realised the best way to get her business out there was to WEAR IT.

Sarah sat down with her daughter Sarah Corrigan (CEO) and pitched the idea of creating QR codes that linked directly to social media and all things YOU.

Together they turned the dream into a reality and came up with CONNECTEDLY WOKE. This sprouted off into a business of its own. Why wouldn’t we use this brilliant idea to help you elevate your business or better yet YOURSELF…

Anybody can set up a business but putting yourself into it is what makes it successful.
