Any of you tried these no-code site builders lately?

Afternoon all,

Bit of an odd one, but I’ve been toying with the idea of refreshing my website and stumbled across some of these newfangled no-code design tools. They seem to be all the rage lately, drag-and-drop interfaces, sleek animations, dead simple content management, even AI bits that do translations and polish up your copy for you.

Now, I know many of us here lean more towards the hands-on, traditional side of things (myself included), but I couldn’t help but wonder if something like this might actually suit us framers. A way to showcase bespoke work, highlight materials, or maybe even offer basic booking or contact without all the faff of WordPress or hiring a dev.

Has anyone dabbled with these kinds of tools? Worth the trouble, or just another shiny thing with no real substance? I’d love to hear if it’s something any of you have found useful, or a waste of tea and time.

Cheers!

We used Squarespace and got something up and running within days. Pretty straightforward and the integration options are good too, online forms, shop and payment systems are only a few clicks away.
