Venia storefront customisation with React components and theming
Service workers for offline browsing, cart management, and checkout
App-like interactions: swipe gestures, pull-to-refresh, native transitions
Install prompts enabling "Add to Home Screen" for app-like access
Push notifications for abandoned cart recovery and order updates
Automatic background sync when connectivity returns
PWA Studio's Venia storefront provides a production-ready React component library that you can customise to match your brand identity. We modify existing components using Targetables (avoiding full overrides) whilst maintaining PWA performance characteristics. This approach delivers faster time-to-market compared to building a custom storefront from scratch, with all the benefits of offline-first architecture and mobile-optimised interactions already built in.

Our PWA Implementation Process
From Venia scaffold to production-ready progressive web app.
Venia Foundation
We start with PWA Studio's Venia storefront, evaluating which components to keep, customise, or replace entirely.
Venia provides a production-ready React component library with theming system, GraphQL queries, and offline-first architecture already implemented. We conduct a detailed audit of Venia's components against your brand requirements to determine which elements can be customised through Targetables (avoiding full component overrides), which need complete replacement, and which work perfectly as-is. This foundation approach typically accelerates development significantly compared to building a custom PWA from scratch whilst ensuring you get all PWA Studio performance benefits immediately.
Architecture & Components
Design service worker caching strategies and build custom React components matching your brand whilst maintaining PWA performance characteristics.
Service worker architecture requires careful planning to balance offline functionality with data freshness. We implement cache-first strategies for static assets, network-first with fallback for dynamic content, and sophisticated offline checkout flows that queue orders for background sync. Custom React components are built with mobile-first design principles, ensuring smooth 60fps animations, touch-optimised interactions, and bundle sizes under 50KB per route. We implement lazy loading, React.memo optimisation, and code splitting to ensure only required JavaScript loads per page. TypeScript provides type safety whilst every component passes Lighthouse performance audits.
Performance Optimisation
Tune bundle sizes, implement code splitting, optimise images, and achieve Lighthouse PWA score of 100.
Achieving Lighthouse PWA score of 100 requires systematic optimisation across multiple dimensions: bundle size reduction through tree shaking and code splitting, image optimisation using WebP with fallbacks, pre-caching critical assets, and implementing performance budgets that prevent regression. We monitor First Contentful Paint (target: <1s), Largest Contentful Paint, Time to Interactive, and cache hit rates (target: 95%+). Performance audits run continuously during development, catching issues before deployment whilst ensuring your PWA loads 2-5x faster than traditional mobile sites and maintains sub-0.5s page transitions for return visitors.

Why PWA Wins on Mobile
The competitive advantages of Progressive Web Apps.
Offline Commerce
100%
Customers browse products, add to cart, and prepare orders offline. Perfect for commuters, low-signal areas, and international markets.
App-Like Experience
Zero Install
Native transitions, gesture controls, and full-screen mode. Feels like a mobile app without the 50MB download or app store approval.
Lightning Fast
<0.5s
Cached assets, pre-rendered shells, and instant page transitions. Service workers make repeat visits near-instantaneous.
Higher Engagement
+3x
Add to Home Screen increases repeat visits by 3x. Push notifications recover abandoned carts and drive re-engagement.
