5 No Code Website Builders in 2023
Most companies prefer a website that is simplistic in design, engineered with essential function, and built for user experience. “No Code” website builders can be a viable tool for startups, small businesses, and even big brands. The other important piece is to have a team that is capable of managing and updating the website from the back-end. No Code is a popular solution for building a website that covers most website facets without you needing to learn or master raw code.
The easy-to-use drag and drop features make adding page content super do-able for anyone willing to learn. To help you consider which is the best choice for your next website design, we’ve put together a list of the most popular no code builders:
Shopify
Squarespace
WebFlow
Wix
WordPress
Shopify
Shopify is a household name, even if you don’t recognize it immediately. Anyone who has ever purchased online – from FashionNova, GymShark, Steve Madden, or All Birds in particular – has done so as a Shopify user. We know and love Shopify for e-commerce experiences with easy-to-use stores, inventory management, and shipping processes that make it a no-brainer for retail. Apparel, consumer packaged goods, and other product-based businesses are just a few of the best market fits for Shopify.
Shopify has been a pioneering contributor to the emergence of direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands, those that ship products without traditional in-person distribution stores. Think – Amazon fulfillment, but for thousands of brands with their own system for getting products to your doorstep.
2. Squarespace
Squarespace is a starter pack for small and/or simple websites. The go-to website builder for a broad range of business models, Squarespace has a library of add-ons, including announcement bars, email marketing, e-commerce, forms, and more. You can expect frequent upgrades to Squarespace features that your brand can utilize immediately.
Hit the company’s blog or YouTube for how-to tutorials, resources, and advice.
3. WebFlow
WebFlow launched later (by about 10 years) than most other mainstream builders. WordPress and others have been around twice as long and have a strong share in the market. However, WebFlow has quickly become a contender for building high-quality, long-lasting websites that come with all the bells and whistles.
Small and large brands are adapting WebFlow to connect website design with back-end connections and capabilities. There are a considerable amount of case studies revealing brands that migrated from a different website builder to WebFlow. WebFlow is capable of producing most design and functionality needs and gets a two-thumbs up from our team.
4. Wix
Assuming that you need to get something off the ground fast, go with Wix for the shortest learning curve. Wix is (respectfully) so easy to use that even a baby could build a website using it. Wix is by far a beginner’s website builder equipped with learnable tools for a super fast turnaround time.
Always consider Wix when your organization is in a startup phase. Once this phase evolves into its next level of business, the website can always be redesigned and/or migrated to a more advanced program such as Shopify, Squarespace, WebFlow, or WordPress.
5. WordPress
I like to call WordPress the granddaddy of website builders. WP has 62% of the CMS website builder market share. WP is a sophisticated, capable builder that offers designs, user experiences, e-commerce, and an infinite amount of other functions powered by plugins. Plugins give WP websites a huge advantage as they enable sites to integrate added software features.
WordPress will be around for a long time and is viable for building a website with high quality, robust functions, and many pages.
