Examples of successful Progressive Web Apps
Eazi-Apps Support • 19 December 2017
The development of Progressive Web Apps by Google has opened the door creatively for more companies and digital brands around the world to create contemporary and engaging content within a user-friendly format which is streamlined and simplistic. That being said, the technology is still relatively new and many developers are still finding their feet with it. If you’re planning to expand your company’s digital presence with a PWA, these examples will give you a better idea of what to strive for.
Alibaba
For those who haven’t already heard of this ecommerce giant, Alibaba is a rapidly growing global marketplace that specialises in B2B trade. With such high demand in over 200 countries, Alibaba has made it a top priority to create an effective and seamless online experience.
Initially, the company’s mobile presence consisted of a native app and a mobile website which were soon combined when developers at Alibaba realised the benefits of using PWA when it comes to creating an efficient user experience. The benefits of this transition were soon realised when the company saw a spike in the number of active users and an increased conversion rate of 76%.
Washington Post
In a rapidly growing digital world, many news organisations have moved their operation online by developing digital platforms to engage with mobile users. The Washington Post offers a perfect example of how companies can utilise the best of current web technology while still maintaining professional integrity and providing a quality service.
The PWA developed by the Washington Post utilises effective service worker caching to create a quick and responsive web app with rapid load times and a layout which is easy to navigate. The effective use of the Offline Google Analytics Library also means that the Post can still collect essential data from offline usage.
Lancôme
For years, this iconic beauty brand was suffering from a gradual reduction in conversion figures, despite having a vibrant and active online presence. While a large number of repeat customers were actively using the company’s native mobile app, the majority of conversions were taking place on the desktop site.
After taking advantage of the App Shell feature of PWA, Lancôme was able to increase overall conversions by 17%. The new strategy adopted by the company also included the use of push notifications which were responsible for a large proportion of the conversion increase.

For anyone launching a digital agency today, the smartest move is to start with a business-in-a-box solution like Eazi-Business. It’s not just a tool—it’s a complete solution built to help entrepreneurs hit the ground running, even with no prior tech experience. Here’s the streamlined, modern tech stack Eazi-Business recommends for new agency owners:
Your homepage is your agency’s first handshake. If it’s unclear, cluttered, or generic—you’re losing potential clients in seconds. Here's what your homepage actually needs to convert visitors into leads. 1. A Headline That Tells Them What You Do “Helping local businesses grow with mobile apps and digital tools.” Make it specific, client-focused, and benefit-driven. If it could apply to anyone, it applies to no one. 2. A Strong Subheadline That Builds Trust “Trusted by 1,000+ entrepreneurs across 20 countries.” This is your social proof shortcut. Numbers work. So do logos and testimonials. 3. A Visual That Shows the Result Use mockups, screenshots, or lifestyle photos. Help visitors see what they’ll get—a mobile app, a dashboard, a website, a client smiling. 4. A Short List of Benefits (Not Features) Launch your digital presence fast No tech skills required Support and tools included Keep it tight. Think “what’s in it for me?” from the client’s point of view. 5. A Clear Call to Action (CTA) “Book a free call” “Get your launch pack” “See what’s possible” CTAs should stand out visually and be repeated 2–3 times on the page. 6. A Simple Contact Form or Button Make it easy to get in touch or book. Remove friction. Don’t ask for more than name, email, and one question. Pro tip: You don’t need to design from scratch. The Eazi-Business Business-in-a-Box gives you ready-made homepage templates with proven structure, persuasive copy blocks, and branding flexibility. Use our pre-built website framework to launch with confidence and convert faster.
