Why You Should Use A No-Code Website Builder
Thinking of building a website, but coding feels like a maze?
Here are some of the main reasons everyday users and entrepreneurs are switching to no-code tools for website building:
Speed: Forget any coding knowledge! No need to spend months learning HTML, CSS, JavaScript and web architecture. Visually design a professional quality website in just a few hours!
Affordability: Hiring a developer costs thousands. No-code tools allow you to DIY at low monthly rates. Many platforms, like LoftOS, offer a free plan to get started.
Simplicity: Forget about coding complex elements by hand. Website builders help you create easily via intuitive drag and drop while still having the design customization you need. It's similar to using a PowerPoint document.
Own Your Site: Don't rely on a developer to make changes. No-code platforms make it easy to maintain and edit a live site.
Scalability: No-code website builders offer the possibility to connect your web apps like marketplaces or internal tools to your new web pages for diverse functionality.
Clearly, no-code sets the foundation for getting online faster, cheaper and without needing development resources.
Website Builder vs. Coding: Which One is Better?
Think of website builders as a digital friendly guide. They're incredibly user-friendly, even if you've never built a website before. You get: A toolbox filled with all sorts of design goodies – templates, widgets, and more, all without needing to learn any techy stuff.
And the best part? You can go from an idea to a live website in no time!
Coding, on the other hand, is more like crafting something entirely from your imagination. It's great if you want something super specific and are okay with spending more time and effort. However, it's important to remember that this freedom comes with a price – time. Taking an idea to production can take months.
For businesses eager to hit the market swiftly, coding can be a lengthy journey, instead, we can speed things up with a web design tool like Pages, our integrated DIY website builder.
