This is where low-code platforms can prove more helpful than traditional coding. Here are a few reasons why:
- While traditional coding provides the means to create complex apps, low-code platforms come with fewer tools, but they allow for a speedier development process.
- Complex apps often have bugs and performance issues that the IT team must tackle before launch. This does not happen with low-code apps, as their features are pre-developed and tested for the user.
- Traditional development has higher associated costs, whereas low-code platforms are much less expensive, as you don’t pay the developer but the access to the service.
- These platforms usually come with drag-and-drop features, increasing ease of use and saving tremendous time because anyone with a bit of digital literacy can use them.
- Apps created through low-code platforms don’t need a dedicated team for support and maintenance.
