I often get asked this question: "Is it necessary for Designers to learn no-code tools like Framer, Carrd, Glideapps, etc?"
While the answer depends on the context, here's what I learned by acquiring these skills myself over a period of 4+ years:
• I’ve learned the art of shipping high-value products: from ideation and delivering customer value to product design, funnels, copywriting, landing page execution, tracking metrics, and beyond! It was a great step up from being a designer who thought abt workflows to product & biz
• I've learned how to create prototypes and MVPs that truly resonate with users. By leveraging real user research data, we can enhance the quality of our design work and great value proposition for users and biz.
• You understand more deeply how to work with developers, and as a result, you learn to design better and provide better hand-offs and documentation.
• We've introduced a brand new line of businesses, focusing on services, tiny products, content curation and teaching opportunities for our brands. I'm thrilled to delve deeper into this venture. We're on track to make $100k in 2 years with just Design & No-Code! (Checkout Nocolo.co & the Weekend Framer Workshop ✨)
• My ideas have evolved beyond mere concepts. I can now think end-to-end, with a well-defined execution plan for my team, leading to more productive discussions and collaboration.
• Lastly, the most important lesson of all: your curiosity never lets you down. Keep going! Explore and Take Action!

Yes! Learn no-code. As a designer, this has been a game changer for me. I’m now able to build websites in Webflow and give my clients an end to end solution. You’ll take a bigger slice of the pie home.
