Understanding Web development services required to build world-class and robust web application

Ifeanyi Okeakwalam — Tue, 05 Apr 2022 19:43:56 +0000

Today, we detail some of the most prominent web design and development services that are required to develop a robust website. Let's take a look.

User-Experience (UX) research and Consumer Journey Development

UX research, or design research as some industry insiders refer to it, helps businesses understand their users to pinpoint needs and requirements, discover patterns, and validate assumptions. This background knowledge makes it easier to strategize and develop a custom approach to target and attract clients and prospects.

User experience, or UX for short, is critical to the entire strategy of a business. UX research applies several investigative techniques and methods to investigate, add context, and build insights around the design process of a website.

UX research leads to user interface (UI) design, which helps solidify the consumer journey development process. It helps to have a defined consumer journey to represent the process that a client or prospect follows to reach an outcome with your business. Either as a map or any other form of visual representation, the consumer journey helps give shape to the needs, wants, motivations, and pain points of clients and prospects.

Today, we detail some of the most prominent web design and development services that are required to develop a robust website. Let's take a look.

Prototyping

Prototyping is a vital part of the user experience process because you can align the website's scope with features and functionalities, testing the layout and structure of the website, as well as performing usability testing until it is refined to the desired state. A website prototype can be thought of as an interactive demo where consultants and developers alike can collect feedback before going into the final stages of the website project.

Once a website prototype is approved by the client and all content is received. An HTML page is generated on the basis of website structure where the client has to approve the overall design of the website, element placement, and functional purpose.

User Interface (UI) Design

An engaging, easy to navigate, and aesthetically-pleasing design goes a long way with websites, so it is very important to focus and invest resources and time in this area. The user interface design process is the set of practices that focus on the look and feel of a website. UI design entails the visualization, presentation, and interactivity of the website, with the clear goal of making user interactions as simple and efficient as possible.

In a sense, UI design attempts to foresee and anticipate what users might need to click on when using a website. This design concept helps create elements that are easy to access, understandable, and that facilitate the actions that a user might engage with on a website.

Front-end and Back-end

Front-end is the client side of programming a website while the back-end is the server side programming of a website. Simple enough, right? Front-end and back-end website development can be challenging concepts.

These two important facets of programming center around different areas of the website, making it easier to understand and compartmentalize programming efforts. The back-end handles all the client requests that are incoming from actions that users take on the website's front-end. In all senses, UI and UX design bring the front-end to life.

SEO consulting and support

From keyword research and analysis, audits, marketing strategies, link building, content development, and more, SEO consulting services can boost user traffic to your website.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is taking the marketing world by storm with its dynamic approach to discovering trends and updates on how users interact with websites. SEO helps businesses develop robust strategies around concrete insights and information to gain the most value from this detailed knowledge.

Support is the practice of keeping a website operational and up-to-date, according to client requirements.

Why you need a website Consultant before and during your website development project?

Ifeanyi Okeakwalam — Tue, 05 Apr 2022 19:30:47 +0000

In recent times, there is no room for uncertainty when it comes to the importance and impact that Internet has on businesses and websites are a tremendously powerful marketing vehicle for all organizations.
From small companies to large enterprises, everyone can benefit from having a well crafted website that conveys an accurate sense of branding, knowledge about the product or service and the overall company, capabilities for online transactions, and most importantly, that allows the business to have an online presence.

The web design consultant profession is gaining popularity every day. Hundreds and thousands of companies turn to website consultants to create or improve their products. Let’s figure out if your company and your product need a web design consultant, what are the main advantages of website consulting, how to hire a consultant and other things.

Regardless of the industry, company size, or line of profession, websites are important to the success of any business since they help with the following:

Deliver marketing initiatives that boost your lines of communication with the public.
Promote an online image to clients and prospects that is in line with the branding of the company.
Create the first impression of your company for clients who search online for information about your business, or if it applies, to your online store.

How do you know your business is facing a web design problem

You decided to create a web product for yourself or your company but know absolutely nothing about website design and then you noticed that your web product doesn’t work well but don’t know how to fix it.

You realized that conversions had dropped recently and lot of problems faced by web product owners are related to web design.

What are the common reason of poor web design

Using an excessive amount of text. Today, users of web products scan text rather than read it.
Lack of visual hierarchy. All the most essential things on the page should be noticeable. Similar elements should be grouped or united by one style.
Using colors that are too bright. There are products for which appearance is not essential. Some products/services should have a simple and discreet design.
Lack of focus point. It can be a picture or graphic, a headline or a sentence, or any other text that grabs users’ attention and makes them stay.
Lack of balance. A balanced design helps create hierarchy and prioritization.
Poor typography. How well you choose your fonts can have a significant impact on the appeal of your project. If the fonts do not fit together, it can distract the viewer from the content and the main idea of ??the design.
Improper use of space. Depending on the design project, you may have a different amount of space at your disposal. The challenge is to create an attractive, balanced design in a limited size.
Poor image quality.
It is crucial to understand which image formats are best for digital designs.
Poor navigation. The presence of pages where the user cannot go back or go to another page.

Who is a web design consultant and what does this person do?

Web design consultant is a person who consults with clients to figure out the scope of projects, learn about their needs, apply SEO methods to enhance website traffic and manage websites.

A web design consultant can help you make the right choice in favor of one design or the other, point out mistakes in an existing design, suggest methods for correcting these mistakes, etc.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job growth rate for website development consultants is expected to be 13% from 2021 to 2028. Many companies hire a web consultant to train designers in an existing team, share experiences and ideas.

Why do you need website development consulting?

Building a website entails a number of activities, from procuring a web hosting service, choosing a domain name, designing the website layout, functionalities, and overall navigation path. Even though it is oftentimes an uncomplicated process, it does require a level of involvement and technical knowledge that is best to secure from an experienced and skilled partner who can cover all aspects of your website development project.

For this, we recommend seeking expert advice from a website development consulting partner who can help you identify needs, gather requirements, design and build an outline for the website, place the best resources on your project, manage the development process, and deliver the right website for your company.

An accomplished website development consulting partner, like us to takes your business needs and transforms them into a beautifully-designed and fully-functional website that is the best solution for your project. We take the difficulty and guess-work out of the equation, regardless of complexity and project uniqueness, to design and build a best-in-class website that checks off all the requirements you wish to include.

How can a web design consultant help, if you have a start up, small project or a middle project?

For startups and small businesses it is essential to involve a web design consultant during product creation.

Your product must completely please users. So the product creation process must be well-structured, transparent, and free of unnecessary steps. At all stages of future product development, a web design consultant will be an invaluable resource.

Startups lack a core business and need to pay great attention to user experience. In this case, a web design consultant is an irreplaceable link in the chain.

Medium-sized enterprises frequently seek out web development consulting firms. In most cases, the work of web design consultants assists in increasing user engagement and improving onboarding.

Whats more, hiring a web consultant will provide you with an objective perspective on your project, allowing you to avoid tunnel vision. Also, web consultants can help midsize businesses to increase conversions, improve usability and the level of user-friendliness of their site.

As a prominent market leader, how can a web design consultant help?

Large corporations are in desperate need of new experts now more than ever. Clients of significant corporations want the product they use to be of the highest quality and satisfy all of their requirements.

Working with a web design consultant has the primary benefit of providing a fresh view of your project. In large businesses, teams are generally highly experienced and skilled, but you constantly need a new perspective. That is something that website development consultants can help you with.

Thanks to website consulting services, market leaders can increase user and customer loyalty as well as brand awareness. The consultants will also suggest what you can use in your design to stand out and be the best.

The obvious reason why Google is loosing the cloud battle to AWS and Azure?

Ifeanyi Okeakwalam — Sat, 15 Jan 2022 09:35:11 +0000

If you want to be successful in a market, you either need to be the first, latest, best or only, AWS was first.

Microsoft Azure is clearly best for companies already running lots of Microsoft software. Microsoft is also the only cloud provider that makes Windows, a huge plus for everyone running Windows VMs on Azure.

Let's take a quick peak at what Google Cloud is best at. If they came up with anything, it was probably either Kubernetes or open source. Those are advantages, for sure, but in times like these where the race to meet high demands is very competitive, these advantages Google Cloud has is not enough, at least not yet.

Google Cloud certainly has the technical chops and engineering talent to compete with Microsoft Azure and Amazon’s AWS when it comes to cloud infrastructure, edge computing – and especially inferencing/training for machine learning models. However, Google may lack focus due to Search and YouTube being the main revenue drivers. This is seen from the company’s inability to ignite revenue growth in the cloud segment during a year when digital transformation has been accelerated by up to six years due to work-from-home orders.

There are a bunch of lower level features that Google Cloud has that others don't, but it's hard to sell your product that way.

Microsoft’s roots in enterprise created a direct path to upsell on-premise and become the leader in hybrid. The majority of the Fortune 500 is on Azure as they want seamless security and APIs regardless of the environment.

To catch up, Google will need to identify 1–3 important areas in which to be the very best. It's going to be hard to do that via open source, which AWS and Microsoft have also adopted. Kubernetes is probably one. What might others be? That perhaps should be the big question.

Which is the best for Web development between Python with Django and PHP with Laravel

Ifeanyi Okeakwalam — Sat, 01 Jan 2022 13:49:02 +0000

Lets get things clear from my own point of view and at the start of this article, as long as web development is involved, I’d go with PHP and Laravel over Python and Django. But they’re both great pairings of powerful tools with beautiful futures and give great reputation to developers who code with them. Let’s get into the pluses and minuses.

Language-wise, PHP is a language of the web. It’s made specifically for web development and is likely the faster development language in that environment. PHP 7 also seems more efficient than Python 3 and needs less VPS memory overhead to accomplish the same tasks… as long as we’re talking about web tasks. As performant as PHP is though, Laravel as the best PHP framework (as at the time of this writing) does not necessarily share that performance traits.

Python 3, on the other hand, is useful to know far beyond web development, if you are also into other things. Much like C# is the language for modern video game development or cross-platform mobile development, Python is increasingly the language for Big Data and AI and/or machine learning. Therefore don't get it twisted, the more you use Python with Django, the better suited you will be for these other useful areas in the future.

There are more Web development jobs for PHP coders, but there are more jobs in general for Python coders. It depends on how dedicated you are to the web, as most PHP jobs or gigs will be related to WordPress or, increasingly now, Laravel. PHP is all web development, all the time. I discussed this in details in my previous post that PHP from version 7 and above can be chosen for the backend development for enterprise websites with high traffic and compared it with other technology, do check it out.

Framework-wise, Laravel also makes you use classic, traditional object-oriented programming (OOP) and MVC (model-view-controller) patterns. You will be very ready to use other more robust MVC frameworks (like say .NET) after mastering Laravel. Django less so, as it’s a little more quirky or unique with its MVT (model-view-template) approach and is a bit less married to the OOP paradigm.

Laravel also has considerable momentum over Django as of 2018 according to Google Trends results for how many people are seeking info on Laravel and how many are checking out Django. Laravel first passed Django in developer “interest” in April 2016, then passed Ruby on Rails in December 2016, and has gradually increased its lead over both frameworks through every month of 2017. In 2021, Laravel has gone through so many upgrades. Its functionalities and features have developed so well that it has become the hot favorite PHP framework for web application development.

You can’t really go wrong with either of these, but if you are equally proficient with PHP and Python, Laravel has the momentum as well as the stricter (or at least more traditional) adherence to certain “best practices” in web programming such as OOP and MVC. And, language-wise, PHP powers much of the web (thanks in part to WordPress) and there will undoubtedly be plenty of open opportunities in PHP web development for decades into the future.

Primarily for those three reasons, Laravel and PHP are probably your best bets for web development as of 2018 and looking toward the 2020s.

If you are building a really large or highly trafficked site, I’d maybe consider Django for the job after all, Laravel is still in the mix too or more likely use Node.js or ASP.net Core 2 instead of either. That being said, Laravel can handle whatever you’d throw at it. You’d just need to upgrade the hardware as the traffic grows.

For enterprise application with high traffic, can PHP 7 or NodeJS be chosen for the backend instead of Java

Ifeanyi Okeakwalam — Sun, 26 Dec 2021 13:04:10 +0000

The big question here and now is if PHP from version 7 and above or Node.js can be chosen for the backend development instead of Java for enterprise websites or websites with high traffic? and then what are the advantages of any of this techs over the other?

Its important to note that all 3 (Java, PHP, NodeJS) are top technologies. Usually what decides a technology is a vectorial sum of (sometimes contrasting) factors. lets hover through some of these factors:

Large companies and established enterprises, banks, institutions will want proven, heavily planned solutions even at the cost of speed or flexibility of development. Java is going to be their first choice.
Startups want to gather investors ASAP, want to prove their technology solution and ideas works. Node.js and other “progressive” languages are a plausible candidate.
Finance and AI based startups and funds want innovative AI and math analysis solutions, Python “flashes” above the others in this regard.
The HUGE majority of small and medium companies, indie technology companies, individuals, consultants, small/medium e-commerce shops, general blogs and websites, smaller financial institutions/brokers ...etc. Want development agility, reliability, and comprehensive prices. PHP is the king here (Node.js too but less).

At this junction we should understand that technologies are selected for a project depending on the use case. Sometimes it's not about performance but about security, its not about speed but reliability. Fintech companies know the downside of Java but still choose to use it anyway, this is because Java is secured, durable and reliable and this fact is not even up for debate as it has been proven over the years.

PHP is the language of the world, it is taught in schools from Africa, to India to some countries in Europe (I know some professors who teach PHP at school). PHP is so massively cheapest that even the poorest countries can access web technology thanks to it.

When you use PHP or NodeJS, there is no doubt about the performance boost you will get, infact when a PHP or NodeJS application is setted up on a comprehensive server system you get better performance, even when there is a surge in traffic.

Tech giants as we know today make use of NodeJS extensively alongside PHP even ontop of their huge traffic. So the point is pretty clear from here, PHP, NodeJS and Java are all top technologies and when an application is properly and carefully built with any of these technologies and then professionally hosted, they will perform well even when the traffic is high.

Talking about which stack can replace the other between this three, i believe is strongly dependent on the use case, if you have to build a function into an API that deals with money in any way, that API is better built with Java (of course through a strong and reliable java framework).

Which programming language should you learn in 2022 to remain relevant and also increase your revenue.

Ifeanyi Okeakwalam — Sat, 18 Dec 2021 10:19:22 +0000

There was a time in my life when I made up my mind to be a programmer, I had a very big problem deciding which technology to learn.

To me then I would always want to be relevant and so I wanted to learn a language that would keep me in the relevant zone for decades to come.

The advice I got was to learn Java, because during that period Java was reigning in my geographical location at least. I did my research and I felt why not Java.

Often times when we make up our mind to become a software developer most of us think like this, but the simple truth is that things are more complicated than anyone thinking of the technology to start their software career with, just to be an instant hit in no time.

Let's get the point straight, am not saying you shouldn't look out for a promising tech skill to acquire on the contrary am saying the tech space is hug and if you must be relevant in that huge tech space you need first choose which part to function in that huge tech space and then learn the most promising technology for that part.

In the Tech space you can decide to be a frontend dev, backend dev, machine learning expert, etc... These different fields have different programming languages, libraries and frameworks people have learned to use for them, take for example frontend engineers often use Javascript and maybe ReactJS or Vue.

It's important to first know if you would love to be a frontend or backend developer, before choosing a programming language to learn. When choosing a language to learn as a starter you should choose the most promising, when I use the word promising I mean acquiring a tech skill that is in high demand today and will be tomorrow, yes that's possible.

Every developer wants to remain relevant in the Tech space and the best way to achieve that today is to identify the language of today and of the FUTURE. Talking about the language of the future, first we need ask how far in the future are we talking?

More than a decade out? Hard to say. More than two? Impossible. Looking at current trends, though:

JavaScript is taking over almost everything.
TypeScript is catching up as the best way to use JavaScript.
Python is nailing machine learning, but losing momentum on servers.
Julia could come up from behind and displace Python in Machine learning.
Java is pretty well embedded in the enterprise space, but there are cracks around the edge of its dominance.
Go might survive due to strong Google backing, though I have a hard time recommending it.
Swift is likely to stick around as the Apple platform language for the foreseeable future. But it doesn't seem likely to make the jump to anywhere else.
Kotlin could displace Java. Scala has had its chance, but it appears to have failed in garnering market share. I frankly don't see that changing any time soon.
C# is probably going to persist in some enterprise companies, and as the language of Unity3d and Xamarin.
On the high performance end, it's a hard call. C++ has ruled this roost for two decades, and has received some recent updates that look great. But Rust seems to have a strictly better type system, which provides better compile-time code verification with equivalent or better performance.
C is the low level language of the past. Like COBOL, there's a crap ton of code written for it, so it won't just vanish. But except in narrow cases I don't see C as being a good language for new development. Rust is strictly better for anything that you might want to start in C today. I think this will be increasingly true. So in that respect, Rust may be more likely to be a major language in the future.

This are noticeable trends anyways, so dig in choose your area of relevance (e.g Frontend), research more about a technology to learn maybe Python or JavaScript, start learning and start building things.

The first language will be hardest, because you're learning how to program for the first time. After that, the second language will be easier, and so forth.

Can the Source codes be reproduced from Machine codes, if lost?

Ifeanyi Okeakwalam — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 14:25:01 +0000

When i started by career as a developer 10 years ago i often as myself a simple question, "ifeanyi can you regenerate your source code from its byte code". The answer to me then was pretty straight, i felt this was technically impossible because i have never heard of a tool that can help me do that.

Before i div into this topic properly i would like to explain some basic concept, we all understand that in computing, code generation is the process by which a compiler's code generator converts some intermediate representation of source code into a form (e.g., machine code) that can be readily executed by a machine.

We also know that Source code is the fundamental component of a computer program that is created by a programmer. It can be read and easily understood by a human being. When a programmer types a sequence of C programming language statements into Windows Notepad, for example, and saves the sequence as a text file, the text file is said to contain the source code.

Now the big question is, why can't programmers figure out the source code or basic algorithm of a program based on the machine code?

Because it’s often illegal. The 9/11 destruction of the Twin Trade Towers caused Morgan Stanley to lose the source code of their flagship financial application written in Visual Age Smalltalk (VAST).

Over the years, a couple of people had written decompilers for VAST but had been threatened with legal action by IBM. Smalltalk-80 (descending from Xerox) has always included a decompiler, and Dan Ingalls extended the implementation to record local variable names, the only names that can’t be inferred from the bytecode.

That way, one could use the system without a source file, and without the ability to record comments. But VAST, descending from Smalltalk-V, never had a decompiler. A colleague of mine then implemented a decompiler that was used to recover a good portion of the Morgan Stanley application.

Recovering source from machine code is typically more difficult than from Smalltalk bytecode, and if symbolic information has been stripped from an executable, then names will have to be invented. But there is no theoretical impossibility here.

A processor “makes sense” of machine code when it executes it. A decompiler, likewise, makes sense of the machine code, but does so by constructing some form of parse tree, which can then be printed as source. So the real issue is the legality of the process, not its technical feasibility. If one doesn’t have the right to decompile (a form of reverse engineering), one is taking the risk of prosecution by doing so.

Hence, the answer to this question is pretty straight forward at this junction. Source codes can be reproduced from machine code and this can be achieved by using Decompilers. Decompilers are usually unable to perfectly reconstruct the original source code, thus frequently will produce obfuscated code. Nevertheless, decompilers remain an important tool in the reverse engineering of computer software.

Just imagine that you can regenerate the source code from any machine code you can lay your hands on, imagine the super power to reproduce the source code of your favourite software, sounds very illegal right, lol. Reverse engineering is generally legal. In trade secret law, similar to independent developing, reverse engineering is considered an allowed method to discover a trade secret. However, in patent law, because the patent owner has exclusive rights to use, own or develop the patent, reverse engineering is not a defense.

Why do people still use Java, if Java is behind technologically

Ifeanyi Okeakwalam — Sun, 05 Dec 2021 17:32:23 +0000

First off, there are a lot of jobs for Java developers, so that is one reason, but why do people still use Java, including for new projects?

More recently popular high-level languages like python or ruby can be better for developer productivity, flexibility, and fast iteration due to less code cruft and verbosity. But the dynamic nature of these languages is fantastic for many broad applications, starts to break down when a project becomes very large, lots of developers are involved, or when speed and fault-tolerance are critical.

There are techniques and conventions to work around the code stability problems of dynamic typing, but techniques and conventions mean people need to follow them, and even then, there are vulnerabilities that are difficult to prevent. Take for example PHP, which is used throughout Facebook for back-end coding, was extended by Facebook to give it static typing and dynamic compilation so that it could deliver the speed and stability you would get when using technologies like Java. Exotic languages, like Scala, Haskel, Erlang, and Golang, will mainly be for specific applications best suited to them.

Java on the other hand is still best-in-class for many applications. It is the best way to build a rock-solid, fast, scalable, bug-free back-end system. It’s got the fastest JVM. Only C or C++ is faster, and only in certain narrow circumstances like compute algorithm optimization. Java is also the language of Android, the most broadly deployed smartphone OS on the planet.

Some have pointed out in the comments that Rust is an up-and-coming language, and Go is getting a strong foothold as a scalable back-end server language. Java is probably not the “best” these days in terms of abstraction and execution speed, but it still has a tremendously large installed base of libraries that these newer languages don’t have yet and might not for a long time to come.

NoCode has no limit and is not created for developers none-developers only, Here is why?

Ifeanyi Okeakwalam — Sun, 14 Nov 2021 14:30:39 +0000

For many people who believe that noCode is just for non developers and people are limited to the features of NoCode platforms.

Here is OUSTICS systems, very robust and complex. A system that should take 2 months to develop but completed in 3 weeks, here is how it happened.

Oustics systems is a project i completed some time ago. The problem solved with this system is a very complex and demanding one, but for you to fully understand the gravity of what is involved in all this, allow me to first explain the problem statement in details.

OUSTICS SYSTEM OPERATION
The business owner ships product in large quantities and send them to shops in the country to sell for him. The shops in question are not owned by the business owner he only affiliated with the shop owners through a contract agreement and all he has to do is to ship in products from China and Japan straight in to his warehouse before distributing the products to all the shops.

All the shop owners he has affiliated with are located in Nigeria and in this part of the world transactions like this can get messy easily and fast, people from Nigeria would understand me better.

The problem he faced with this method, is first from the shop owners, they don't remit completely, they took advantage of the analogue nature of the process and was doing all sort of fraud. The business owner proposed to the shop owners that they use some third party service (cloud based service), they tried but the shop owners still complained about the complexity, some of them aren't too educated to understand how to use this tools.

PROPOSED SOLUTION
The business owner thought about building his own cloud based service so he can have room to make the shop owners UI very simple and concise and still end up automating the operations of his business but there was a little problem, the business owner have already invested heavily in stock but he is yet to begin distribution of goods to shops, this is because he wants his software ready before distribution. Some of the money he used in stocking up where loaned and there was not much time to develop this solution. He was willing to pay for the service of a professional engineer who can do something fast and that is where i come in.

The problem for me to solve now is to try and automate the whole process between the business owner, the product distributor and the shop owners. To deliver this solution in the simplest way possible most especially the shop owners dashboard, it needs do the job pretty well and as simple as possible no excuses. I was mandated to come up with a very simple but classic user interface and experience across the three different sections of this application. I had just a little time to deliver this project.

To me I already knew that my best bet would be to use a NoCode tool like WEBFLOW to build the entire UI of the system, there was never a doubt that I can't build a great interface with Webflow as I am very good and fast with the tool. I went to my board and drew out the layout of the whole system and how I have envisioned them to be. I defined the relationships (on software level) between the business owner console, distributor console and shop owners console, I did all the wire frame in two days and then I was ready to start building the user interface with Webflow, now check this out.

In less than three days I had created all the screens almost fifty, the shop owners console is the one with the lowest number of screens just five. I already knew the kind of interface I wanted before creating on Webflow, when I finished building my UI on Webflow I extracted the codes and assets files away from Webflow and I continued development from that point. I spent most of my time doing the backend because the logic is quite crazy and I needed it done in the best way possible.

Finished this project in less than 3 weeks, the business owner software, the product distributor software and the shop owners software, built all the tools needed to ensure the system is auditable, transactions are transparent and everyone's actions are accounted for. The system detects underperforming shops, and notifies the business owner so he can recall his products and reassign them to shops that are performing great. Finished 40% of this journey with a tool like Webflow.

What are the lessons learnt

If the only thing you know how to use is the NoCode or LOW-CODE tool, then truly you would be limited at some point to the features the platform offers you to build with. But if you can do other things then beat it brother, there are no limitations.
NoCode was originally built for people who don't want to interface with any code as they don't know how to code or they hate coding, but that is not the case anymore, NoCode platforms this days are very advanced, meaning you can build professionally looking UI's and what ever you build with their software can be extended. So don't get it twisted developers and none developers use these platforms this days.

CONCLUSION
Most of the best noCode tools out There aren't meant only for people with no coding experience but for people with coding experience. You can build almost anything with noCode because most of this platforms allow extensions and you can choose to export your codes plus accets at any time, you can also choose to host directly with them.

NoCode helps you ship your product faster, this in recent time is the catch.
