Why choose Weebly and Progressier for your PWA?

While Weebly is a preferred choice for many when it comes to blogs and e-commerce sites, it doesn't quite match the prowess of comprehensive no-code solutions like Bubble or integrated e-commerce systems like Shopify. However, its affordability and user-friendliness give it an edge.

Is PWA Creation Possible with Weebly?

Though Weebly isn't atop my recommendations for this purpose, one can indeed transform their Weebly app into an installable entity across devices using Progressive Web Apps.

With Progressier, you can effortlessly procure an installation page for your Weebly application. This ensures your users can seamlessly install it across devices - be it iPhones, iPads, Android gadgets, or even desktops running Windows, Chrome OS, or macOS. No changes to your Weebly site are required. Just sign up, follow our steps, and in mere moments, you're set!

Under the hood

Weebly may not have the adaptability seen in other no-code platforms. Instead of enhancing your app with installation and push features directly, we design a specialized wrapper for it, situated on a distinct domain tailored for your app. Refer below for a comprehensive list of Weebly-supported features.

Which PWA features does Weebly support?

Android Installation

Let users install your app on their Android device. It works exactly like a native app.

iOS Installation

Your PWA is installable on iOS and iPad OS. It will open in its own standalone window. Progressier shows users custom instructions.

Windows Installation

Make your app a standalone desktop app that open in its own window. Your PWA can be installed from Chrome and Edge.

macOS Installation

Get your app installed on macOS from Chrome — Progressier walks users through installing your PWA to their Docks.

Chrome OS Installation

Enjoy native PWA support for your app on Chrome OS.

Installation Page

A familiar app store installation experience bundled in a single-purpose page for your users.

Original Domain Installation

Due to the limitations of the platform, it's not possible to install your app as PWA from your own domain. Progressier provides an alternative custom domain for installation purposes that looks like elonmusk.installable.app.

Web App Manifest

Progressier creates an app manifest with the name, logo, theme color and display preferences of your PWA.

Service Worker

A service worker is a file that continues running in the browser even after the web page that has registered it has closed. For a domain to be a PWA, it must have a service worker hosted at the root. Unfortunately, Weebly does not support adding a service worker to your domain.

Push Campaigns

Notify all your users of news in your app with our dashboard and/or API. Progressier manages all user push subscriptions for you.

Personalized Notifications

Other app builders allow you to send notifications to a particular user. It's not currently possible with this platform.

Connect User Data

With Weebly, it's not currently possible to sync your user data (e.g. emails, names or account types). Bubble is the best no-code option for that.

In-App PWA Promotion

A set of tools that allow you to promote installation of your PWA within the body of your app, including custom install buttons and floating action buttons.

Offline Alerts

In-app alerts displayed when users lose network connectivity. Not available with Weebly.

Request Notifications After Installation

Prompt users to allow push notifications right after they have installed your app. Less intrusive = better conversion rate.

Install & Push Analytics

Progressier tracks installs of your Weebly PWA over time. Also tracks push subscriptions.

Programmatic PWA Creation

Create Weebly PWAs programmatically with our API.

Google Play & App Store Upload

Since Weebly doesn't allow their users to install PWAs from their own domain, it's not possible to make it available through Google Play or the App Store as a PWA.
