Progressive Web Application (PWA)¶
A Progressive Web Application (PWA) is a web app that uses modern web capabilities to deliver an app-like experience to users.
On mobile devices, when you open the page, the browser will appear with your themed application colour.
There is also a suggestion to add that website as an application to your IOS android mobile device home screen.
Once you accept, or if you add the website as an app manually in the browser, it lands on your mobile home screen.
You can then open it like a regular app and you will have the app like experience.
Once opened, the splashscreen is displayed with your theme colour, then the search view is opened directly by default.
All of the above PWA features help to feel like a natural app on the device, with an immersive user experience. A Progressive Web Application (PWA) is also more reliable, as when it is opened it loads instantly, regardless of the network state. If there's no internet connection, a dedicated offline (pre-cached) page will be displayed inside the app. End users will be able to save your application to their mobile device home screen for easy access and quicker loading.
Responsive Mobile Optimisation¶
Your web application is built using the bootstrap framework which is a mobile first framework and will automatically adjust your site to work on and fit any device width.
If you are proficient with html and are adding/editing page content via the Beautiful Rich Text Editor you can use the bootstrap classes in your html code to style elements of your page responsively.
SEO Ready¶
SEO and meta data fields are available for all pages and content items added to your web applciation ready for you to configure.

Beautiful Rich Text Editor¶

Payment Gateways¶
As our sites have a requirement for peer to peer payment solutions at a global scale, this limits the choices that we have for payment processors. For this reason we have currently elected to go with Stripe and Stripe Connect for payment processing.
We are currently waiting for Paypal to produce a production ready peer to peer payment solution, as their current solution is in beta testing.
We also have on our road map adding support for crypto-currency payment processing.
For more information see connecting with stripe.
