Progressively vs gradually
Progressively: This term implies a methodical and planned approach where enhancements are made in stages, often with a focus on improvement and advancement. It suggests a forward-thinking and strategic progression.
Example: “We should provide a core set of functionality and information to all users, and then progressively enhance the appearance and behavior of the site.”

Example: “We should provide a core set of functionality and information to all users, and then gradually enhance the appearance and behavior of the site.”

In this context, “progressively” is often preferred, especially in the field of web development and user experience design, where it connotes a systematic and thoughtful enhancement process.
