Have you heard about the No-code movement? No-code platforms are just specialised frameworks.

I often see people hiring developers to help build their website, landing page or even marketing automation efforts. You don't need developers for that!

What is a specialised framework?

A framework is a dedicated tool or a set of tools that allow accomplishing a task with maximum efficiency. We discussed frameworks such as Flutter (Mobile), Xamarin (Mobile), Angular (Web) and Django (Web). They allow developers to quickly build apps for mobile and web.

Have you heard about WordPress, Joomla, Salesforce or Drupal? They are what I call specialised frameworks.

A specialised framework takes the notion of framework to other heights: They allow almost anyone to build apps without the need for developers. They are toolkits.

Here are a few examples of specialised frameworks: CRM, CMS and ERPs

CRM: Customers Relation Management

CMS: Content Management Service

ERP: Enterprise Resource Planner

These specialised frameworks allow anyone to build landing pages, websites, blogs, career pages, forms, responsive email templates or list management software.

If you're starting your recruitment firm, you can get a website build in no time with Webflow or WordPress. Your CRM and CMS could be Hubspot. Hubspot allows you to build landing pages with jobs that include analytics about the way these pages will perform.

Which specialised tools do you use on a daily basis to get things done? Did you have a developer build it?

How about No-code and Low-code?

No-code and Low-code are in a different league than specialised frameworks. These tools allow you to build things that go beyond a simple website: Apps, simple mobile applications

I'll write an essay about them in the coming days.

You can find more information about the No-code vs Low-code movement on the Tech Jargon Website.

Takeaways

Developers are a crucial part of the IT landscape today. However, you don't need them for certain types of applications. Once you understand that, It makes it easy to see why some developers won't get excited when you offer them roles where they'll have to build this kind of application.
