HTML, Python, JavaScript or even C++, if these words don't mean anything to you, that's normal, they are computer programming languages, which only 1% of the population knows how to master!
Do you want to create your website and are you afraid of learning to code or calling on a web developer? So you can put away your “Learning Programming for Dummies” book and close your Fiverr tab, because the NoCode is there.
NoCode corresponds to all the digital solutions that are provided to a company, so that it can create a website, a mobile application or even code automations. And all without using a single line of code.
Develop everything you want without necessarily understanding computer language terms? The NoCode is the solution you need, it will allow you to configure the ultimate solution to your needs.
One of its biggest advantages is being able to develop anything you want without necessarily understanding computer language terms, NoCode is accessible to everyone. Another of its major advantages lies in its cost. Indeed, NoCode makes it possible to do without a computer developer and therefore to save money and time. Increased productivity is also one of the elements that make NoCode more and more attractive.
Tools like Webflow, Shopify, Airtable or Bubble, allow you to create, without any line of code, websites, mobile applications, newsletters, voice assistants or even chatbots.
In 2019, the Confederation of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises reported in its study that despite the desire of VSEs and SMEs to automate their processes, most do not think they are capable of doing so because of the technical component. For these companies, digitalization is still a long and time-consuming process. However, with all the NoCode tools that are currently offered on the market, the digital transition would be much easier to initiate and would adapt very easily to the different needs of these companies.
NoCode is largely based on the use of PaaS, “Platform as a service” or platform as a service, for the most French-speaking among us. PaaS are platforms that can be accessed directly from the cloud for running, managing, and developing business applications. And that without taking into account the creation and maintenance of the infrastructure. Customers who generally pay a monthly or annual subscription have access to all the services offered by the platform, thanks to a simple Internet connection.
These visual platforms allow users to create any type of digital creation, greatly simplifying their work.
It was during the health crisis that the NoCode grew enormously.
Emmanuel Straschnov, co-founder of Bubble, a platform for creating visual applications, declares that it has seen an increase in the use of its service by 50% since mid-March. Shopify, too, saw a 63% increase in new stores between March and April 2020. And not to mention the impressive fundraiser of Airtable the same year.
The No-code, in addition to gaining momentum, has also played an important role in the management of the health crisis.
Sophie Pietremont, director of Microsoft's business application entity, states that the network of hospital buyers, RESAH, called on them to create an automated process allowing them to distribute medical equipment between the various members. Microsoft therefore used its power platform (which is its own LowCode programming platform) and set up a virtual team to create this centralized and secure application.
Leah Solivan, founder of the TaskRabbit platform also said on A forum granted to Fast Company, that the NoCode could really become a solution to the coming financial crisis. For her, the financial uncertainty we face pushes humans to generate their own income, in particular by creating online businesses. But the vast majority of them are not interested in becoming web developers to create their own site. The use of NoCode tools then makes perfect sense.
If the NoCode has grown enormously during the health crisis, this is in particular due to VSEs and SMEs who have been able to adapt quickly and effectively. Lockdowns and curfew have forced these businesses to review their operating methods in order to adapt both to teleworking and to new distribution methods.
The NoCode, in addition to facilitating the digital transition of VSEs and SMEs, will solve many problems for future entrepreneurs.
If you have ever thought of launching a technological project, you have surely gone in search of the Holy Grail... In other words, the CTO. As mentioned in the introduction to this article, very few people in the world know how to code. The market around this skill is therefore in tension and the demands are much more numerous than the offers. As a result, it may be complicated for you to compete with the biggest companies to find your web developer sidekick. And this is where NoCode comes in, you can easily carry out your projects successfully by relying on the many tools it offers.
NoCode is still in its infancy, but this market is currently undergoing major changes, and some tools are arriving to shake up the major players already in place. This is the case in particular with Bubble, Airtable and Webflow, which challenge tools such as Wix, Shopify or WordPress, which must adapt to be able to stay in the race.
Over time, there will be more and more integrations between tools in order to optimize possible automations as much as possible, so each member of a company will be able to focus on their main missions.
