Build Apps Without Code and Grow Your Career

no code app

Wondering how no-code tools can help you grow as a freelancer? No-code tools are already disrupting software development the same way Fiverr has changed the gig economy, and Shopify has powered eCommerce building.

No-code tools let you create software like mobile apps, websites, and more using visual methods like drag and drop builders. These tools have empowered the developer community to build and ship products faster than ever before – the good news is that anyone, regardless of their training or ability to code, can build software using no-code!

The no-code economy boom has come at a time when the world economy is recovering from one of the largest economic downturns in history, and no-code tools have made it possible for many gig economy workers and businesses to not only stay afloat during this unpredictable time, but to thrive.

No-code and the Gig Economy

The number of freelancers in the United States is projected to reach 100 million by 2027, and no-code will be a huge enabler for this trend. It has opened doors for people without technical expertise to try their hand at highly-technical work. Designers now have the opportunity to build products. Developers can cut down their timelines significantly because of how efficiently no-code tools can operate. 

Here are some of the key advantages of no-code tools for freelancers:

  • Streamline processes

No-code tools let you build and ship products much faster than traditional coding methods. This means timelines can be much shorter, and your turnaround time, faster than ever!

  • Build beautiful products

Many no-code tools have templates for apps, websites, and more. You can use these templates and change the branding, database, and content to fit your clients’ needs.

  • Cost-effective options

Building products using no-code involves just a fraction of the cost – this is good news for clients, but good news for freelancers too. This means that you can reach a wider client base that can accommodate those costs.

The Opportunity for App Development Using No-code

In 2021 alone, mobile apps got over 230 billion downloads in total – and that demand is steadily increasing. But the number of developers isn’t increasing at the same rate, since the skill of coding takes significant time and effort to master.

Less than 1% of the world’s working population are software developers. No-code tools are on a mission to disperse the power of software development into the hands of the other 99%.

In a survey conducted by Adalo, no-code experts (founders and CEOs) predict that by the end of 2022 no-code will be as common as making a Powerpoint is now. So what if you could build an app for your clients as easily as you’d make a Powerpoint? What kind of opportunities would that unlock?

How Do I Become a Freelance No-Code Developer?

No-code application development has been a game-changer for businesses of all scales, and apps developed using no-code tools have a huge advantage over traditional coded applications. The two reasons for this are – you guessed it – time and money!

No-code app building tools like Adalo have drag-and-drop expert-designed components so that you’re in complete control of the design. With one click you can launch a truly native version of your app on the app stores for both iOS and Android.

“What we see among freelancers & agencies especially is that they're able to sell the same value. Which means that they're usually charging the same exact price as the same agency if they have a dev in house or not, because they're providing the same value to the customer. Customers no longer care how it was created.”

Fiverr and Lonely Planet Introduce First “Anywhere Worker” Study

Fiverr and Lonely Planet, a globe-spanning digital travel media company and the world’s number one travel guidebook brand, today released insights from a recent survey looking into the new generation of workers, the Anywhere Workers.  The Anywhere Worker For years we have seen people in their early twenties living a digital nomad life, jumping from party city to party city, working online and seeing the world. People in their twenties going somewhere in Asia and working with their laptop from the beach. Single and with no children. But the truth is that this is no longer the case.  We’re seeing many other groups of people choosing this lifestyle: couples, families, experienced workers, as well as the 20 somethings, all of whom are looking for something more - to live somewhere new, to see the world and benefit from the experiences of traveling and working at the same time.  We think the expression Digital Nomad is in fact outdated and not comprehensive of all th

Fiverr Suspends Business in Russia

Our hearts break for the people of Ukraine and we join the world in grieving for the lives lost and destroyed due to the senseless and unjustifiable violence. We also mourn with our global community of freelancers and business owners, who work daily across borders, languages, and cultures to create opportunity. They know that any conflict that divides like-minded and good people into “us vs. them” represents a loss for all of humanity and is contrary to everything the Fiverr community stands for.  That said, the devastation in Ukraine requires action and has triggered global economic sanctions aimed at ending the conflict. In light of the ongoing situation, Fiverr is suspending its business in Russia starting today. We will not allow the opening of new accounts or the use of existing accounts to buy or sell on our platform. We are, however, allowing our Russian freelancers to withdraw their current earnings to ensure we have fulfilled our obligations to them.
