Design challenges of Low-code/no-code platforms


Posted December 1, 2022 by divami

In recent years, a new breed of software has emerged that automates most mundane tasks. They are also known as Low-code/No-code platforms. They use simple drag and drop tools to deploy apps in a matter of hours or days instead of months or years.

 
In addition, they empower non-developers to quickly deploy their digital assets without writing a single line of code.

Whilst these platforms promise to eliminate much of the development efforts, they can be challenging to learn and implement for many users. Hence, the UI UX takes centerstage to ensure zero communication or perspective lags and deliver a simple and intuitive user experience (UX).

But designing a low-code/no-code platform UX is no easy feat. Designers stumble upon many challenges sooner or later, increasing the go-to-market time. Let’s take a look at some of these challenges and how you can overcome each of them:

1. Preserving simplicity while adding advanced features
No-code/low-code platforms allow users to go from concept to launch in a matter of hours or days. The absence of actual coding makes the work faster, but it also means less time for testing and quality assurance. Moreover, using advanced features such as conditional business rules, decision trees, integration with third-party services, etc, may turn out to be a nightmare for non-coders or first-time users.

Solution: Keep the UI UX simplistic and intuitive while giving particular importance to advanced features. The goal is to reduce the learning curves and the time to develop. Consider adding minimalistic info boxes that explain the function of every feature in-tune with how the user is engaging with the platform.
