No-code tools are a technological revolution. But, choosing the right tool is a new challenge. At Digidop, since our launch in 2021, we are all-in on Webflow and I explain why!
No-code tools are a technological revolution. But, choosing the right tool is a new challenge. At Digidop, since our launch in 2021, we are all-in on Webflow and I explain why!
Quick reminder and background, what is Webflow?
Webflow is a tool that allows you to create websites without having any technical skills in HTML, CSS or Javascript. It is therefore a tool of the so-called "no-code" movement. Webflow is an alternative to web builders like Wix or Wordpress.
3 reasons to invest (now) in Webflow
A bet is a bet. But we have some good reasons to believe that launching yourself on Webflow is, and will be, an advantage, at least for a few years. From the features of the tool to the skills it will allow you to develop, discover the 3 reasons that pushed our decision.
1 - The tool evolves rapidly
This is an advantage, but it can also be a disadvantage. Why is that?
The development of the tool adds to it new features. These new features enrich the field of possibilities, but also make it more complex. If you have never put your hands in Webflow before, you will have even more to learn, to master the beast.
Starting today you can learn step by step, and become familiar with responsive, client-first methodology, CSS class naming, animations...
With a solid foundation, you can then learn to build ;
- A native member area
- An integrated automated workflow system (Byebye Zapier and Make?)
- SEO
And maybe soon...
- A powerful E-commerce platform that will compete with Shopify's current lead?
- A tool to develop WebApps (Alternative to Bubble?)
Ps: For the past few months, not a week goes by without a new "surprise" feature being released. So don't wait any longer, otherwise it will be difficult to catch up.
2 - Developing transferable skills
Using Webflow will familiarise you with tons of topics around the web. Topics like ;
- SEO,
- The creation of a website,
- The design,
- HTML and CSS code,
- UX design,
- UI design,
In 2022, these competences are said to be transposable.
"The notion of transposable is associated with skills that can be used in a new environment, another job. Acquired throughout the professional career, all skills not all skills can be transposed, of course.
As you can see, these skills greatly enrich your human capital and are applicable to all kinds of activities in any sector.
I repeat once again.
"I don't know ANY company that doesn't want a nice website, well positioned on search engines.
3 - Being a no-code early adopter is a huge advantage
As an Early Adopter you are a pioneer of a movement. This position has several advantages;
- You will live the adventure and be able to analyse (and benefit from) the evolution of a market dynamic over several years
- You can become a reference around you (professional and personal) on tools that everyone will need tomorrow
Conclusion
Let's conclude with some data. Webflow represents in volume today 0.6% of the world CMS market. It is therefore still a long way from the Wordpress behemoth, at over 40%, yes .
Launching ourselves on Webflow is a gamble that we consider to be low risk. And at Digi, we are all-in.
