Native First

Bagisto Native prioritizes true native mobile experiences over simple web-wrapped solutions.

What Does Native First Mean?

Native First means building applications that feel and behave like real native apps, not just web pages displayed in a mobile wrapper.

Key Principles

True Native Integration

• Access device hardware (camera, location, sensors)
• Native UI components for critical interactions
• Platform-specific behavior and design patterns

Performance Matters

• Optimized for mobile devices
• Fast load times and smooth interactions
• Efficient resource usage

Native User Experience

• Platform-appropriate design

Why Native First?
