Web design with no code has been around for a bit now, but it’s growing rapidly in popularity. This prompts the question, is drag and drop better than coding? Is no code replacing the traditional web developer? With the many web development tools, and web design tools out there for coding and no-coding, there are more options than ever when it comes to designing your own website, or even app. One might say no code is the future, but really, all these no code tools are made with code. So, to answer one of the above questions, the web developer is probably never going to get replaced simply because they are the ones who build these tools.
There still is much debate around no code vs. full code though when it comes to starting a business and the roles around web development. On the front end, using a builder vs. coding for websites doesn’t show much of a difference. Your user will see the website in pretty much the exact form. While coding a website opens the door to far more customization, if you make a website without code using drag and drop page builders, the point of entry and time investment is much lower. You can spend months putting a website together with code, but the same can be done in weeks or even days when using a no code alternative tool. There are clear advantages of drag and drop builders, but so are there for coding workflows.
Consider what the project needs, and what the future will entail for a specific website you’re working on. Chances are that the needs of the client and their website, their budget, and their team’s need to interact with the content on the site will determine your choice between coding vs. drag and drop.

Thanks Brad, it was a pleasure meeting you!
Thanks for coming on the show Adrian!
Hey bro thanks for the video I enjoyed it. .
I have been trying to learn HTML and CSS for a while and struggling to get my head around.
Is there a drag and drop Editor that has the ability for me to save in HTML and CSS and then upload on my own server?
Cheers
Glad to help and thanks for watching! There are a couple drag and drop editors that allow you to do that, Webflow being one of them, but I can’t personally vouch for how clean the code is exported.
Sheesh! What a spicy video this is! 🔥
Not every day you see a Canadian and Aussie share gems like this 🦘 🇨🇦
Love this idea and video - really good!
You know me, I like spicy! 🔥
Actually, I’m more of a mild-medium guy, but anyway, thanks for watching man!

Just wondering if there’s any modern front end developers on here, I use tailwind and nextjs but I’m now looking more seriously at no code solutions to see if I can actually simplify my workload.
We’ve got 2068 modern front end developers and no code developers in the creative crew community. Join us!
Don't drag and drop editors add unecessary code and do you have to go into the bak end and strip it out before publishing?
This is a common objection to platforms like Wix Studio and its competitors, but it's kinda misguided. For most websites, web designers, and agencies, the benefits this platform offers-like business tools, super intuitive drag-and-drop editors, beautiful templates, CMS integration, and SEO tools-totally outweigh any potential code bloat.
That bloat is pretty minimal anyway and hardly a concern for most folks.
For bigger sites with tons of traffic, yeah, this might be more of an issue, but for many, the perks of using these tools are huge. Besides, Wix Studio has got some really skilled engineers and designers always working on making things better and boosting performance.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WE beautiful video man lol 😎
🔥🔥🔥
Canada or cnaida 😅
Hahaha
Nonsense because all these nice editors are proprietary garbage that block you for arbitrary reasons. In good faith as a dev you can't fucking recommend your client to build a business on sand.
