A Flexible Platform for Communication, Education, and Engagement
Progressive Web Apps are not limited to one industry or one type of project.
Because they can combine information, media, forms, links, notifications, and other digital resources, PWAs can be adapted to many different organizational needs.
Here are six examples.
1. Training and Onboarding
Create a digital training center containing orientation videos, instructional content, policies, checklists, forms, and important contacts.
Employees can access the information from their phone whenever they need it.
2. Public Health Education
Health organizations can create PWAs around specific initiatives such as maternal health, substance-use prevention, nutrition, chronic disease, sexual health, smoking cessation, or community wellness.
Educational videos, local resources, FAQs, program information, and support services can all live in one place.
3. Events and Conferences
Replace or supplement printed event programs with a mobile-friendly experience containing agendas, speaker bios, venue information, maps, sponsors, surveys, videos, and announcements.
Attendees simply scan a QR code to begin.
4. Community Resource Directories
Local governments, nonprofits, and community organizations can create searchable or organized collections of services such as food assistance, housing resources, employment services, healthcare providers, transportation programs, and emergency support.
5. Recruitment and Workforce Development
Organizations can create recruitment apps containing employee stories, career opportunities, company culture videos, benefits information, FAQs, application links, and training opportunities.
The app can be promoted through job fairs, social media, advertising, presentations, and QR codes.
6. Campaign and Program Hubs
Instead of building an entirely new website for every initiative, an organization can create a focused PWA around a campaign or program.
It might include:
- Program information
- Videos
- Registration
- Resources
- Calls to action
- Surveys
- Updates
- Social content
- Partner information
The Possibilities Go Much Further
The real strength of Progressive Web Apps is flexibility.
A PWA does not have to become a massive software project.
It can simply become the most efficient digital tool for accomplishing a specific communication goal.
Start with the audience.
Identify what they need.
Organize the information.
Make it easy to access.
Then continue improving the experience over time.
That is where Progressive Web Apps become powerful.
