Webflow and Figma: two no-code tools

Before going into the details of each of these two tools, it is important to understand what no-code is and what this sometimes revolutionary solution is for.

No-code: definition

You may have heard the term “no-code” before but you don't know what it is. No-code is a development approach that consists in developing digital solutions such as websites, applications, etc., without coding a single line. We use no-code thanks to various more or less complex platforms. Its use is generally done via graphical and intuitive interfaces that are based on the principle of drag-and-drop (drag-and-drop) of preconstructed elements.

No-code has many advantages for development and offers greater accessibility since it allows no-code developers with no programming language knowledge to create advanced solutions.

What is Webflow?

Webflow is an online development platform, where users can create powerful, dynamic, and personalized websites without having to write code. Thanks to a graphical interface based on drag and drop, you can create unique websites on Webflow. On the platform, there are various predefined elements and animations that can be used to easily develop the design, interactivity and global dynamics of the site.

Webflow is the ideal platform for users who want to create robust and personalized websites without knowing how to code. To develop an ultra-qualitative site on Webflow, a Webflow expert enough for you!

To give you an idea, to develop a website, we often compare Webflow vs Wordpress that you most certainly know.
