Web Native Apps

I rapidly prototype Web Native iOS apps using Capacitor and industry-standard web frameworks including React, Tailwind and TypeScript. As a creative technologist, I get working apps onto real devices quickly for pitch demonstrations, testing, and stakeholder review. My CI/CD pipelines allow teams to work on a codebase without worrying about manually building and deploying, and they provide a smooth path to production.

Web Native with Capacitor

My typical Capacitor Web Native apps target iOS and are built with React, Tailwind and TypeScript. Building with Capacitor results in faster development cycles and allows code reuse between web and mobile. This creative technology approach means I build rapid prototypes that are easily adapted to be production-ready.

Native Device APIs

With Capacitor the native device features including camera, file system, geolocation, notifications, and haptics are available to use.

Faster Iteration

Web development tooling provides faster build times and hot reloading during development. With Capacitor I can test changes instantly without waiting for native compilation.

CI/CD for iOS Apps

Manually distributing updates to devices during development and testing is a chore. I create continuous integration and deployment pipelines that automatically test your app, package it, and deploy it to Apple App Store Connect for testing on real devices with TestFlight.

Iterative Development with CI/CD

My CI/CD workflows allow teams to use iterative development — shipping small, incremental updates that are tested and refined instead of building everything at once.

Need to support Android?

I focus on iOS, but Capacitor makes it simple to ship to Android devices using Google Play and Firebase App Distribution.

Web Native Use Cases

Web Native apps and app prototypes serve different purposes depending on where you are in the project lifecycle. While I typically build them for concept validation, they can also be useful for pitch prototypes and stakeholder review — key parts of the creative technology process.

Pitch Prototypes

Functional native apps can demo features such as haptics and device notifications to your clients.

Concept Validation

Validate native interactions such as touch gestures and device motion before committing to full development.

Stakeholder Review

Prototype apps are better than mockups and websites for non-technical stakeholders to install and experience.

Who Is This For?

Native app prototyping and creative technology is right for:

Creative agencies needing working apps for client pitches and presentations
Product teams wanting to validate app concepts before full development investment
Startups building MVPs for user testing and investor demonstrations
Enterprises prototyping internal tools and customer-facing applications

Frequently Asked Questions

The project cost and timescale relies heavily on the scale and complexity of the app, and whether we are building a prototype for testing or a production-ready app. Contact me below to discuss your project and I can provide a rough estimate.

Yes. Capacitor apps are genuine native applications that meet App Store and Google Play requirements. They go through the same review process, and many existing apps in both stores are built with Capacitor.

I use Capacitor because it is faster for me to develop, and easier for me to maintain, using web technologies. This creative technology approach is not suitable for every app, and it may be better for you to find a native developer. I can recommend an approach based on your project requirements.
