No Code (Current) Favorites List
I have been a strong believer in low and no code as a democratization tool for entrepreneurship. The barriers of tech intimidation and coding know-how quite easily dissolves with these tools. Here is a shortlist of ten I have liked (most of which I have used!) and are very user friendly for even the newest of no-coders.
Caard
Caard is the perfect and simplest way to create a quick landing page. Everything they do is a one page website — whether that is for a personal portfolio or for a business sign up page.
Yep.So
Much like Caard, Yep.so is an easy and fast way to test out your idea in a landing page format. They pride themselves on having a landing page that converts, and the UX is very Notion-esque which allows you not to get too distracted by coming up with branding and designs.
Gumroad
If you are interested in selling a product or service with ease, check out Gumroad. The user journey is clear, easy to use, and it allows you to upload your offer in no time. Their learning section on the site is also very approachable.
Glide
Mobile apps used to be for the code-minded, but now with tools like Glide, anyone can create an app in (what I would estimate) a couple hours or less. Glide’s user interface is clean, and they allow you to deploy more complicated applications like inventory management, customer portals, and applicant management.
Notion
Notion is now more and more mainstream, but it’s a powerful tool that allows you to create pages, websites, or guides with ease. If you are comfortable with GoogleDocs, Notion is the next level (with way more super powers!)
Jotform
I was a fan of Typeform (still am) but didn’t enjoy the pricetag as much. JotForm gives you the same flexibility in form creation without the extra subscription. A must-try if you need to make or incorporate a form within your product/service.
Airtable
Databases are everywhere, and we often don’t even recognize it. If you are building up your Google Sheets, and want something more sophisticated and powerful, you have to check out Airtable. I have made a complete website from my Airtable database (with a little help with Softr.io), and it also incorporate ways to take your forms right into your database. If you are working with data or need to incorporate more data, then just sign up for Airable now.
Landbot
Chatbots are a bit underrated. Probably because they were over-used to an annoying extent on every commerce website? But, I feel like a chatbot can truly simplify your processes and add a level of personalization if it is used correctly. Check out Landbot for their use-cases and simple (and even fun with Gifs?!) chat bots.
Softr.Io
I really enjoy Softr.io, and it is a tool I have invested some time into. Like mentioned earlier, Softr turns any database into a website or portal for your needs. Their templates are clear and simple, and their simple UX and drag and drops make creating a visual interface (with a backbone of data) simple.
Bravo
If you use Figma for your UX design, Bravo is the easiest way to convert these designs into a clickable and usable prototype. They have an amazing education center, and if you are someone who is highly visual or creative with an eye for design, then this would be an ideal option for you.
MailChimp
It’s an oldie but a goodie. Most people think of MailChimp for email audience creation, but it is far more than just an audience segmentor and email generator. MailChimp allows you to create simple landing pages with automations with ease (and no need to integrate any other email catch-all for all those leads.)
Which no and low code tools are your favorite? Let me know in the comments below, because I always like to try what is next!
