After 2 weeks of learning no-code, I managed to turn something that was on my mind for 2 years into a reality. With no code tools! How? I never imagined that!

In this article, I’ll be discussing why and how learning no code turned my dream into a reality. Let’s dive in! 🚀

Why Are You Learning No Code?

Some people ask me why I learn no code.

Well, I never thought of learning it. I don’t even know what was no code when I started the journey. 

It was just for fun, and it is free! (Yes, I love free things. I mean who doesn’t?)

What Am I Going To Build?

The other question comes in. What are you going to build by learning no-code?

Nothing. I never planned to build anything. Really, I am serious. I mean me? Building techie stuff? Websites? Apps? 

I build a lot of things in my daily life. I am good at building Lego, setting up Hot Wheels tracks, and building Dollhouses, and solar ovens for my kids… But, building a website by myself? No no.

I never thought I would be able to create a website until I learned no code. 

The thought of creating my website never crossed my mind. I had no idea what that entailed, and to me, it sounded way too technical.

What Did I End Up Building?

This is quite personal.

I remember how I felt when I had my miscarriage 2 years ago. It was devastating for me and my husband. We both were sad but we kept comforting each other to make the situation better.

Because of my experience, I know how sad it is when there is no one around who understands what a woman is going through, or how painful it is to lose their baby before even being able to hold them in their hands. I know I can do something with what I learn in every step of my life, and the motivation it gives.

Then I came across a no code website builder – Podia during the build weekend challenge.

My mind was telling me that I should be able to create a free email course to support women who suffer miscarriage and build a website with Podia. Besides that, I will be able to create a community within Podia too. That’s incredible!

Boom. That afternoon, Angel In Heaven was created. A beautiful website (Yes, I do think it is beautiful with my favorite color), a free email course (I still need to work on the details of the email course), and a community were created in no time, all thanks to the no-code tools.

Wow, unbelievable. I sat down at my desk, holding my teacup, and sipping my tea and I just could not believe what I just did. I never thought of making a website by myself. This is like a dream come true, nope. I can’t say that. Because making a website was never my dream. I would love you to check out Angel In Heaven and drop a line to share your feedback with me.

Conclusion

Is this the only thing I build with no-code tools? Nah, you may check out this cool recipe app that I built which I shared in this post of Non-Tech Mom In A No Code World. Just tap the + symbol on the top right to add in any recipe and it will just magically appear on the app. And a few others I made with no-code tools which I will share in my future blog post.

The ability to create something makes me feel amazing and I am surprised by what I can do. All thanks to no-code tools. No-code is a game changer and it is for everyone!

To all awesome moms who don’t have a tech background in the world, let’s hop on the no-code train and build some cool stuff together!
