How Bubble.io is changing app development

1. Understanding Bubble.io: A No-Code Solution

For businesses seeking to create custom web applications, the journey might appear daunting. It's expensive, time-consuming and you need to trust your developer knows what they're doing. Bubble.io is an innovative no-code platform that empowers users to design and operate online applications without the extensive coding and architecture of traditional methods.

Bubble.io operates on a visual programming platform. Users can simply drag and drop pre-built components, and connect them to create online applications. This means you can construct complex web applications - complete with features such as user accounts, databases, and payment processing - without writing a single line of code.

Additionally, Bubble.io offers the ability to create custom plugins and use traditional JavaScript to meet the requirements of any project. For businesses aiming to build their own web applications, Bubble.io is a game-changer. Its intuitive interface and pre-built components make it significantly more accessible for business to build custom apps. Its extensive features enable the construction of complex web applications that are polished and professional.

2. What is possible with Bubble.io?

Given the increasing number of no-code platforms, choosing the right one for your project can be a challenge. But Bubble.io sets itself apart from the rest.

Bubble.io is quickly gaining popularity with (at the time of writing this) over 3 million users, and for good reasons. First, its vast array of features and capabilities make it suitable for a diverse range of applications including:

You can even wrap your bubble.io app into a native mobile application. Its user-friendly visual programming interface is accessible to non-technical business owners if small updates need to be made.

Bubble.io's cost, flexibility and speed of development allows it to standout from many competitors, such as OutSystems which has a significantly higher annual license fee. If you hire a developer or agency, once your project is completed, you own the entire codebase of the application and all it's data. You will have full administrative control of your app and can grant developers access if ongoing maintenance or future updates are required. You can also have as many users as you like utilize your application without any extra costs.

3. The benefits of purpose-built software with Bubble.io

Businesses typically use enterprise-level software suites from Microsoft or Google, and end up stringing together multiple SaaS subscriptions to try make workflows more efficient. They typically run into the problem of having too many moving parts and rarely achieve their desired results.

Bubble.io addresses this by providing a platform to rapidly build custom software that is specific to you and your businesses needs, while still being able to integrate with your current or external software systems. With Bubble.io, you can drastically reduce the amount of different software you need, and a solution to have it all in once place, affordably.

By 2030 we can expect a large majority of business owners owning and maintaining their own software built using no-code tools. If you are a business owner looking to build a product, feel free to contact us to have a chat and see how we can help!
