What you’ll learn
No-code and low-code platforms let SMEs build digital products and automate processes without heavy development costs. Find out how to get started and which platforms to consider.
Traditionally, being able to program in multiple languages was a necessary skill for anyone looking to build digital products or enter the tech industry. But over the past few years, a new class of software, known as low-code and no-code, has emerged. It’s drastically lowered the barrier to entry for people who want to create software without needing to learn to code.
No-code refers to the concept of building digital products or business systems without writing any code. Many no-code platforms provide visual drag-and-drop interfaces for creating everything from simple websites to complex business applications. They usually come with a wide range of pre-built components, built-in hosting, user management, collaboration tools, and integrations with other popular services.
Low-code platforms are designed to make it possible for those with only a little programming knowledge to create digital products and business systems. The main difference is that low-code platforms provide a visual interface to assemble code blocks rather than requiring users to write everything from scratch.
There are several ways that SMEs can use no-code or low-code platforms, depending on their specific needs and goals. For simple websites or landing pages, platforms like Webflow or Squarespace work well. For complex business applications, low-code platforms like Retool offer more power with less development overhead.
