Case Study: Präsidialdepartement des Kantons Basel-Stadt delivers a seamless Autumn Fair companion with Apps with love's Progressive Web App

Präsidialdepartement des Kantons Basel-Stadt triples Autumn Fair traffic with Apps with love

The Präsidialdepartement des Kantons Basel-Stadt sought to modernize the digital presence for the Basel Autumn Fair, which was previously split between a website and a native app. To unify this experience for the fair's 550th anniversary, they engaged vendor Apps with love to create a single, future-proof platform.

Apps with love developed a Progressive Web App (PWA) that combined all information and functions into one platform, offering features like exhibitor lists, maps, and push notifications. The solution provided easier access for users without requiring an app store download and significantly improved performance to handle high traffic. The project was a major success; page visits tripled compared to the old website in the launch year and grew to over 300,000 visits by 2023.
