Ionic lets us build iOS, Android and web apps from a single codebase using the web technologies your team may already know. With Capacitor bridging to native device features, it's a fast, cost-effective route to a cross-platform app — and a PWA — from one project.
Our Ionic stack
Ionic Framework Capacitor Angular React Vue TypeScript PWAIonic turns web skills into cross-platform apps. You build the UI with standard HTML, CSS and JavaScript — using Angular, React or Vue — and Ionic's component library makes it look and feel like a real mobile app on both iOS and Android. With the mobile app market projected to surpass $600 billion by 2030 (Grand View Research), reusing web talent to reach it is a real advantage.
The magic layer is Capacitor, Ionic's native runtime. It wraps your web app in a native shell and gives it typed access to device features — camera, geolocation, push, filesystem, biometrics — through plugins, with an escape hatch to write custom native code when you need it. The same codebase also runs as a fast progressive web app in the browser.
For the right project, that's a genuinely efficient path: one team, one codebase, three targets, and the ability to reuse an existing web app or design system. It's especially strong for content-driven apps, internal tools, MVPs and products that want a web presence and app stores from a single effort.
We're also honest about the trade-offs. For graphics-heavy or extremely performance-sensitive apps we'll point you to a fully native or compiled cross-platform approach instead — the goal is the best result for your product, not a framework we prefer.
Whether Ionic is the whole answer or one option within a broader mobile strategy, we take it from concept through design, engineering and every store launch, and keep it maintained afterwards.
One web codebase, three targets — strategy, design, engineering and launch across app stores and the web.
Full-cycle Ionic development for iOS, Android and web from one codebase, engineered around your users and goals with a native look and feel.
Explore → 02Ship the same codebase as a fast, installable progressive web app, so users get an app experience straight from the browser — no store required.
Explore → 03Custom Capacitor plugins and native code for device features and SDKs the app needs, plus backend and API integration wired up cleanly.
Explore → 04Polished, native-feel interfaces built on Ionic components and your design system, adapting sensibly to iOS, Android and the web.
Explore → 05Modernize legacy Cordova or older hybrid apps to Ionic and Capacitor, or advise on moving to a compiled cross-platform stack when that fits better.
Explore → 06App Store and Play submission, PWA deployment, and live web-layer updates so you can ship improvements fast without a full store release.
Explore →The same Ionic codebase deploys as real apps and on the open web — so a single team covers every surface your users reach for.
For the right project, Ionic is the fastest, most economical way to get a real app onto both stores and the web — while reusing the web skills and code you already have.
The capabilities that make Ionic a fast, flexible way to ship a real cross-platform app without a native team for every platform.
A large set of pre-built, native-styled UI components that adapt to iOS and Android automatically, so you build polished, consistent screens fast.
Typed access to camera, geolocation, push, filesystem, biometrics and more — with custom native plugins whenever you need something bespoke for your app.
The same codebase ships as an installable progressive web app, giving users an app-like experience with no download or store review to clear.
Build with Angular, React or Vue — whichever your team knows — so you reuse existing skills instead of learning a new language or platform.
Push web-layer fixes and features straight to installed apps without waiting on app-store review, keeping you agile long after launch.
Share code and design with your existing web app, and scale the same project from a quick MVP to a full production product over time.
Ionic is a strong fit for content-driven apps, internal tools and MVPs. We tailor each build to your industry's data, compliance and users.
A company already had a web app and a small web team, but needed iOS and Android apps too — without hiring separate native developers or maintaining three codebases that would inevitably drift apart.
An Ionic app that reused their existing web components and design, wrapped with Capacitor for native features and store deployment. The same codebase also shipped as an installable PWA for users who preferred the browser.
Their web team now maintains one project that powers the website, the PWA and both app-store apps — a fraction of the cost and coordination of separate builds, with updates that reach every surface at once.
A clear, agile path that ships your app to iOS, Android and the web from one project.
Define goals and scope, and confirm Ionic is the right fit for your app and team.
Native-feel UI on Ionic components and your design system, prototyped early.
Develop the web codebase in sprints, adding Capacitor plugins for native features.
QA across iOS, Android and browsers for feel, performance and stability.
Ship to both stores and the web, then update fast with live web-layer releases.
Ionic is powerful when it fits and a poor choice when it doesn't — and plenty of hybrid apps fail because someone forced the wrong project onto it. We've shipped 500+ products over 12+ years across web, native and cross-platform, so we can tell you honestly whether Ionic is right for your app, and then build it well: performant, properly native where it counts, and maintainable. One accountable team covers design, backend, web and mobile end to end.
A quick, honest comparison to help you choose — and we'll give you a straight recommendation for your project.
