The principle of no-code is relatively simple. It consists in creating (without computer language skills) an application that would have previously required the intervention of a specialized developer. In other words, We create code, without code.

This makes it possible to make a multitude of tailor-made solutions (a tool that allows you to create a tool). It is also for this reason that many agencies have specialized in this technology and that there is now a” No-code skill ” on the market.
It also allowed a lot of apps to speak up. In fact, this movement has always been present, and we have been using it for years so-called “no-code” applications. However, this movement really emerged a few years ago and highlights the advantages of these technologies: autonomy, speed of execution, the power of simple interfaces allowing complex solutions to be created. Here is the editorial selection:
Our No-code scrunchie .. To date, Webflow is the tool that has impressed us the most..
This no-code tool allows to create an efficient website, with a completely tailor-made design without writing a single line of code. For a web developer, it's the holy grail, being able to code in just a few hours. The site of his dreams. For an agency specialized in branding like Elias (take a look at our concept), it is also a very powerful tool : beyond the time saved, Webflow offers all its users real autonomy after going online (no need for an update, or a developer to modify a text, the customer can do everything by himself).
It is this no-code side that represents a real one”plus“for our customers at the time of take control of their site.
Even though Bubble is used for specific sites (more dynamic, integrating complex functionalities), this tool impressed us. Bubble allows you to create web applications without using a single line of code (and all starting from a blank page). It is therefore the ideal tool for a seasoned developer wishing to save time during his projects, while offering a tailor-made design. A very nice alternative to a Wordpress factory or a site coded “by hand” in React (here are our top 5 tools to create a website).
Adalo is also a tool for app creation relatively powerful. Its specificity is to allow the creation of mobile applications without a line of code. Today it is difficult to create a mobile application: languages are complex, there are few experts on the market, agency prices quickly reach several tens of thousands of euros, it is also necessary to ensure that the application is available on IOS & Android etcetera..
Nothing better than a no-code platform to facilitate the creation of your mobile app!
Now let's turn to productivity tools. And for this introduction, let me present “Notion” to you. A revolutionary note-taking tool.
Let's say you have your business, your teams, your customers, your site. Over the course of the days you will need manage a lot of information, whether it's project monitoring, meetings, invoices, knowledge sharing or even simple note-taking... NOtion is the tool you need.
It's much more than just a note-taking tool, Notion allows you to do everything (with whoever you want).
In the same way as Notion, Airtable will allow you to increase your productivity tenfold. While some people may (shamefully) compare Notion to an overboosted Google Drive, we can present Airtable as an advanced version of Google Sheet.
This tool will in fact allow you to create The perfect CRM to manage all the data you will have within your company. This no-code tool can therefore go further than some other existing tools such as Google Sheet and become your tailor-made CRM. Airtable has a multitude of functions and allows you to synchronize the databases between them within your work space.
Little known to the general public, Stripo is the only no-code tool capable of produce a tailor-made email. The more well-known platforms such as Mailchimp or Sendinblue offer an email editor (with several template functionalities, etc.). Stripo goes even further and offers the possibility to go as far as In the email code to modify any style property live to keep your users in your universe (we will talk about a low-code tool at this point).
The export can then take the desired form. Note that Stripo is not an email CRM, this tool does not ensure the sending of emails to an email database.
Zapier is a tool that will make you save precious time (We could also have mentioned Integromat, which is very well known in the sector). You want connect two applications between them? Zapier takes care of it and automates the process. All you need to do is set up a trigger and then indicate the desired action. Zapier is based on the multitude of applications compatible and of automations possible (the application is also very easy to use, no need to visit the tutorial area).
We are now moving on to another field: prospecting. Phantombuster is a tool used by many growth hackers. It allowsextract data (scrapping) on social networks for then automate your commercial actions.
For example, retrieve all Linkedin users who have commented on a specific post, and then send them a message to each and the Restart every week as long as you don't get an answer.
Do you need to create content on a regular basis? You will need to manage with your different teams presentations, different formats. Whether it's a Linkedin post, an Instagram story or a commercial brochure. Canva is a very good collaborative tool that seems a good alternative to Powerpoint and Photoshop.
So there are a multitude of no-code tools that allow you to create almost anything. Whether it's a simple email or the latest online marketplace (using all the automation tools And of data manipulation that will save you a lot of time).
At Elias, we know a company called Walt-web that adopted the perfect no-code strategy: They created their site on Webflow. They linked it to a training space developed in no-code on Bubble. They are prospecting thanks to Phantombuster. They send an email to each prospect using Canva and developing the email on Stripo. They track their various types of customers on Airtable. They of course have access to a Notion space to access all the necessary information.
To achieve this result they had to recruit the right person. Follow our recruitment advice from a no-code expert. Can you imagine how much time you could save?
