The NoCode homepage: a grid of tool categories
The palette
#66FFCC

Seafoam. An eyesore at first, then toned down. Still love it.

About

NoCode started as a side project in October 2016, with the vision to empower and inspire non-technical entrepreneurs and makers. Back then there were only a few scattered tools and very little content online for non-techs building digital products. Two years later the space was booming, with new tools launching every week.

It grew bigger than I ever imagined: original content, guest posts, a community forum, discount codes, 250+ reviewed tools and a newsletter going out to thousands of subscribers.

In September 2018 it was acquired by Concrete Capital, and in 2022 by Stacker. Since I sold it the no-code space has exploded, and makers keep amazing me with what can be built without code.

Notes from the maker

3 notes
Know your audienceSam, maker

The logo confused everyone and the .tech domain did too. I thought both were glaringly obvious. Nobody got either.

Seafoam, toned downSam, maker

The #66ffcc palette was an eyesore at first, so I softened it after a lot of feedback. I’m still desperate to use it again.

Borrowed a gridSam, maker

The homepage grid was inspired by Startup Stash: easy to navigate and infinitely scalable as I added categories.
