4 reasons no code website is hurting your business

Having a no code website for your startup is a good choice but it does comes with it’s fare share of compromises and problems everything does.

Knowing the limitations of what you are getting and effectively working around it is what makes a business successful .

And providing you that information is exactly the purpose of this video.

Now without wasting any time let’s dive into some of the major issues of No code website

Vendor lockin

Many visual builder website require you to use their hosting service to ensure that all the components and features works as intended,

this effectively locks your business onto their services. If for some reason their business collapse your business will also collapse.

Because every part of your business depends on them and if something like that happends you will loose many customers before you can find any alternative solution

This is extreme case situation if you choose a reliable platform chances of this happening are low

But that won’t solve your problem for example if they increase the price of their subscription you just have to accept it your other option is to migrate but that in itself is quite a heavy task

also that company can decide to remove a feature your business relies on and you will be equally screwed

CSR and SEO (Client Side Rendering and search engine optimization)

in order to keep the visual editing canvas smooth low-tier companies rely on client side rendering for your actual website

And that can cause you problems for SEO ranking all though google unlike in the past google now uses two wave crawling system

the first one indexes html and the second one puts the page in queue to actually run the logics of that website

but wave 2 ins’t instant which will effect your SEO ranking there are more technical details butthat’s not the topic of this video it you want to know how googles SEO ranking works you can let us know in the comment section

so if you’r building any website that needs any kind of SEO ranking make sure that you that your service provider has server side rendering

but if you’r business requires login and verification in those cases you don’t have to worry about that

E-commerce depth

Visual website building services provide e-commerce checkout flows but there is a huge performance issue

in those drag and drop features they don’t even compare to dedicated E-commerce platform like shopify and Woocommerce

not only they can’t provide similar type of performance they also lack subscription management, localized payment gateway and complex calculation like global tax management

at least in this case they are straight up bad for anything but simple store

scaling

The promise of services like this is that it can give a non coder the ability to make a website for their business

while it does deliver that promise in a certain degree but problem arrives when your business grows and what you have built isn’t enough anymore

in situations like those you have to ask for a developer but no developer want to touch the code generated by visual website builders

those things generate codes that are messy and a nightmare to sort out properly and in order to scale it you have to either migrate to a custom website or

pay someone extra to sort everything out either way it will cost you a lot of money

No code was build on a false promise that non coders can build complex software by just dragging and dropping components

But in truth the only ones who can pull it off in a scalable and usable way are the developers themselves it just made it convienient in some cases for the developer
