As a Business development agency, we quickly adopt new potential solutions within our organization so that you, the client, can benefit directly from them. The trend of automation continues uninhibited and so-called No Code solutions result in the ability to launch digital (Web) applications without programmers anyway. No Code; what is it and why might it be of interest to your organization? In this article, we explore this in more detail.
In brief:
- No Code; what exactly is it?
- What are the advantages and disadvantages of No Code?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of No Code?
Implementing existing building blocks that can be easily reused is an advantage of using No Code. The time to market (and associated impact) is thereby reduced which can be an asset for your organization. On top of that, there can be said to be less dependence on an agency and its developers.
A disadvantage of No Code solutions is that integration capabilities are limited and not optimally scalable. In doing so, No Code can work fine up to a certain level but becomes limited when scaling up to, say, corperate level.
On top of that, there is an increased risk of a fragmented architecture because most platforms can only be deployed in a public environment and thus do not fit within a proprietary infrastructure. Once you choose a particular platform then you are stuck with it for the future. Should the vendor of that platform take a different route than desired, it could have a major impact on your (web) application. An additional major drawback is that No Code’s functionalities are limited. As long as functionalities are desired that already exist, No Code shortens the time to market, but should functionalities be desired that do not yet exist, it is counterproductive. This means that very specific (Web) applications currently still always require customization and thus coding. It is critical to choose a platform that suits your organization. Not only in the present time, but also focused on the growth of your (web) application.
