The world of nocode evolves (super) fast. In order not to be outdated, and to stay up to date, you have to be careful and choose the right tools!
Technology evolves quickly. A new tool or new features can quickly replace several tools. For what it is to create "without code" on the web; an application or website, here are, in my opinion, the 3 tools to follow closely for this end of year 2022 and especially in 2023.
Platforms, showcase site, web applications: my trifecta!
1. Webflow
More and more known, the Webflow CMS is the new deal in terms of platform and website development without code. And there is a lot to it!
- A visual interface, which makes the development comparable to a video game 🎮
- Absolutely no design limits, it's the photoshop of web creation!
- Fast websites (AWS hosting & clean semantic code),
- 360° control over SEO,
- A supportive community,
- The possibility of collaborating with several people simultaneously on the same project,
And new features are released every quarter. Some examples with the latest ones: Membership and Logic.

2. Wized
Wized, recently acquired by Finsweet, is a no-code tool designed exclusively to be integrated with Webflow. Wized makes it possible to create a no-code application (webapp) on Webflow. So it's more than an alternative to Bubble, because you get the benefits of Bubble, with the quality and performance of a Webflow site! Wow!
With its acquisition by Finsweet, the development of Wized should accelerate. The product team now has new resources, both human and financial. We can't wait to see the results!
Ps: during the State Of Flow event, I was able to attend several demonstrations of application creation with a Webflow and Wized front-end. And I can assure you that the results are excellent!!! Stay tuned 🍿
3. Xano
"Xano gives you a scalable server, a flexible database and a No-Code API builder that can transform, filter and integrate data from anywhere."
Xano, is a so-called back-end tool. In its category ofno code tool, it is comparable to airtable. (It is possible to import your airtable DB on Xano in a few clicks).
Xano allows you to create the business logic behind your user interface. This logic is essential to create a web application for example.
Conclusion
You have just discovered the 3 no-code tools that we recommend to watch closely in the coming months. The idea is simple, by converging the synergies of these 3 tools, it will be possible to ;
- Create beautiful front-end user interfaces without code with Webflow
- Create a web application (webapp) with Wized
- Connect everything to a business logic thanks to your backend on Xano
To summarize: User interface(Webflow) → Trigger actions(Wized) → Data exchange(Xano)
You've now figured it out. By assembling the features of these 3 tools, no-code web development opens new doors, and the next months/years are going to be 🔥🚀
