If you’re looking to build a Site, eCommerce Shop or App, before you spend 2 years and £7K on developers checkout these tools first

@webflow - Build responsive websites without having to code. If you’re a badass spend time learning a bit of HTML/CSS then move onto this

@WordPress - For Websites/Webapps grab a premium theme and bang out YouTube. I personally prefer Webflow for sites, but if you’re doing eCommerce using Woocommerce and be much more cost-effective and better than Webflow or Shopify

@Shopify - The people’s favourite eCommerce builder. It can quickly get expensive when you whack on add-ons but it’s still a great platform

Compare it to the cost of hiring a developer for a year or 2 years. The difference is you can stop or pause at anytime

@carrd - There’s nothing better for landing pages. Need to whip up a landing page, get going quickly with Carrd

@aboutdotme -Create a page to promote who you are
and what you do in one link

@AdobeXD - Great tool for wireframes, and its part of the Adobe suite so especially if you're on the design side you get all the things that come with Adobe Creative Suite.

Assets, Characters and Colour consistency is also made super easy

@WhimsicalPowers - Whimsical is definitely a wizard for quick wireframes. Be done in 20 mins or less

@figmadesign - This one is definitely good if you are looking for a free tool in which you can collaborate with. Sketch users will tell you its got nothing on Sketch, but it's free, so why are you crying there?

@marvelapp - For mobile apps, this is a neat way to prototype and has good icons to use for inspiration

@canva - where would we all be without Canva tho? From Infographics, to Instagram quotes, to social media covers, this has been a lifesaver for many

@unsplash - a big shout out to Unsplash who have made a fairer exchange of royalty-free photos and have really built out their platform

@zapier - my good friend @charlierward really got me thinking about how important having integrations are in your workflow. When you are considering any new tool, consider how well it integrates with the ones that make your life easier

@slack - What better way to build an already growing community. I still feel like Whatsapp groups and Facebook groups can feel more natural if your audience already exist on those platforms, but Slack is a great way to take it to the next level

@LaunchPass - if you're using Slack to grow your audience, getting the right tools is another overhead, LaunchPass is a way to charge for access to channels and teams

@IFTTT - I remember @denisasamoah_ being a wizard with his workflow because of this. Some people love IFTTT

@bubble - (not quite No Code for what most people want IMO )but it allows you to build web apps easier which is a great way to validate mobile apps. I still don't think its the easiest thing to use if you're not technical. Shout me if u need help

There's a world of tools being built and a movement of thought empowering creators to design, build and launch amazing things - no code required
