Development of no-code apps for startups

With the emergence of no-code tools, it is no longer necessary to depend on a technical team to develop the application you have devised, which facilitates its creation and shortens the time and resources invested. In this article, you will find out why it is convenient to start your startup with a no-code digital product.

Where to begin

First of all, let's define: What is a Startup? It is an emerging company characterized by the use of technology and by its business model, which allows great scalability and growth. To carry it forward it is necessary to define certain issues first:

• Define a business idea: We must understand what product we want to offer and how it differs from the competition. To obtain this information it is necessary to conduct a market study, define a value proposition and define our target audience.

• Build the brand: Offering a unique product or service is no longer enough. What can help us to guarantee the success of our business is to position its brand through the corporate identity. That is, positioning it through the communication of its essence and values using graphic elements.

• Develop a minimum viable product (MVP): To evaluate our product saving time, and money and testing it with real users, the ideal is to build an MVP. The minimum version of a product that only contains the main functionalities. If you want to know more about MVP and how you can do it with no-code we recommend you to read this article.

• Build the digital product: At this stage, there are two ways of development: traditional or no-code development. Next, let's see why it is more convenient to do it the second way.

No-code apps development

Years ago, developing software was only possible for certain people and companies that could hire a technical team and pay the necessary server and hosting costs. We are talking about a slow and highly expensive process, which over the years became a little cheaper, but it was not until no-code tools appeared that the process became accessible.

With no-code tools, it is no longer necessary to invest too much money or time in the digital projects you have. Since we are talking about a process that is intrinsically agile and easy to learn. This scenario, compared to years ago, represents a unique opportunity for those who have an idea, and want to carry it out but do not have the technical knowledge to do it traditionally.

Currently, several startups have opted for no-code tools to develop their digital products. In addition to its fast and accessible development, we must also highlight the adaptability to different projects that no-code can offer. To mention just a few cases, we can create without code: 

• E-learning sites
• Online stores
• Customer portals and job boards
• Health platforms
• Crowdfunding sites
