And no, they didn’t become overnight developers.

Alright, if you’ve been following the digital world lately, you may have heard the term “progressive web apps” mentioned a few times.

Perhaps the term came up at a networking event you attended. Perhaps it was mentioned in a LinkedIn post that you quickly glanced at. Like many small business owners, you were undoubtedly thinking, “Wonderful.” One more tech jargon term.

The problem is that progressive web apps are more than just a fad. In actuality, they are changing how companies view their internet presence. And you should be mindful of that.
