No-code technology allows digital products to be produced without the use of code, in total autonomy, three times faster than coding.
With no code, you can build sites, blogs, messaging apps, service promotion sites, business software, and e-commerce, making programming affordable for everyone.
No-code requires no special skills to be used, reduces development time and costs, and is suitable for all those companies or entrepreneurs who lack the technical skills to be able to develop their own site.
No-code is also being used by freelancers and software houses, through which they can reduce the cost and time of building a site or app, especially when the client does not need an extremely complex or customized product.
How exactly does no-code work?
No-code technology transforms computer programming into visual programming by extracting code written by developers into visual blocks that users can drag and arrange at will within an editor.
The code is there, but you can’t see it
Let us imagine that strings of code are small bricks that, like a Tetris, go to fit together and compose the architecture of a web page: using GUIs (Graphical User Interface), the user is provided with the bricks related to titles, paragraphs, images, and is able to select those of his interest and drag them to the point on the page where he wants to place them, thus going on to create the block title, subtitle, text and so on.
The advantages of no-code
Ease of use. Programming languages are the sole purview of developers; the drag-and-drop approach of no-code, on the other hand, is intuitive, user-friendly, and affordable
Reduced development costs. The team of developers requires a larger financial commitment than no-code, which allows them to create an optimized product at a significantly more affordable cost.
Speed of development. With no-code technology, sites and apps can be created in a matter of weeks, unlike traditional programming, which can take months.
Increased productivity. No-code technology improves productivity by simplifying development work, avoiding writing errors and wasted time.
Ease of updating and maintenance. No code allows a site to be always up-to-date, thus saving time and resources.
Increased security. With no code, it is less likely that bugs will develop, glitches will occur, or security issues will arise. The code behind no-code platforms is written by professional developers who use industry best practices to ensure smooth implementation of no-code sites and apps.
Automation and integration. No-code technology enables small-scale automation with 3 times the speed. Plus, it automates business tasks and processes, reminder queues, and integrations with other market applications
The disadvantages of no-code
Considering the advantages listed and the large savings in time and cost, no-code seems to be the right solution for anyone. However, there are limitations due precisely to no-code, such as, for example, poor customization and difficulty in exporting.
But it is precisely because of the various benefits and few disadvantages of no-code that more and more companies are adopting this new technology.
In a digital-first world, where enterprise software greatly affects an organization’s performance and competitiveness in the marketplace, relying on no-code technology is a first step in a company’s digital evolution and innovation.
To date, automation and digitization are essential to improve the efficiency of enterprises and make them agile and able to respond quickly to increasingly ambitious market demands. No-code development makes it easier to update and redesign applications and is the best alternative to traditional development, reducing dependence on IT professionals and offering companies a quick and easy way to create their applications.
