@ilma_mailer Yes! 💚 It's a truly perfect way to get to know app well and speed up web project building process since the course is built around the main functionality of Ycode. Also there is an option to get certified after completing the course 🏅
Ycode fits our small team needs perfectly! We released a new website, MyZenTeam, in less than a week and it was fully responsive, working in all browsers. The MailerLite integration for newsletters only took a few minutes to implement. The databases and workflows make everything structured and very easy to maintain. Great job team!

YCode seems to be a great visual website builder — I registered for the closed beta but didn’t get my hands on to try it out so can’t say how good it is.
However, I’ve been wondering how is it really (highlight this word) different to Webflow which is arguably the best visual website builder on the market right now. Wappler looks good too but it is low-code and requires from a user HTML & CSS knowledge and even JS to be really good at it.
Not trying to say crap or anything, I’m really happy for the no-coffee movement and new tools that appear every month but as a quite happy Webflow fan I would like to know the real differences between this tool and YCode.
@alaverdyan thanks for your comment!
I agree that Ycode can be compared to Webflow, because both platforms follow the box model design approach and allow you to control all possible css properties.
But there are also many differences in details and how things work. For example in Ycode you can build a full CRUD (create, read, update, delete) process. It means that you can make a form that saves data to the local database and you can output it in another page. Moreover, you can edit the data using a form. With Ycode you can build user authentication, read/write data to Airtable and many more details that matters when you're building dynamic web projects.
@ignas_rubezius1 thanks for the reply! Webflow will launch Memberships (user accounts) and Logic (CRUD / simple backend) next year — hence I asked about the real difference between Ycode and Webflow.
Any other notable differences?
Again, not trying to make Ycode look bad or anything — I am genuinely curious and want to learn more about the tool.
@alaverdyan I don't know what they will launch or how it will work. I just know that we have those things ready for you today.
@ignas_rubezius1 I see. Well, thanks for the reply I guess? Though I expected something else.
Hi everyone!
Two years ago, I was learning to code and soon realized it takes great effort to do basic things. Searching for more visual, faster building methods, I discovered no-code—but no builder seemed to deliver on both design and functionality.
If the perfect builder doesn’t exist, why not build it? As an experienced entrepreneur (the first company I founded was MailerLite), I gathered a talented team and set out to create a builder that has extensive design settings AND powerful features (workflows, user authentication, databases, etc.). With Ycode, you have full control of the frontend and backend of your web projects.
Plus, we offer an export service, so there’s no vendor lock-in.
We launched in private Beta earlier this year and now it’s time for you to experience Ycode 🤩 Create a free account (https://www.ycode.com) and see Ycode in action!
To quickly start your project, pick one of our most popular templates and customize it to fit your needs.

I’m super excited to hear your thoughts and will be available all day for questions!

Congrats on the launch! The app looks great. Amazing that it comes with built-in workflows and user authentication, while Webflow is still working on that. Keep up the development pace!
@trekstett thank you! We're doing our best to deliver on our mission - to make visual development as powerful as coding by hand—just faster and more accessible.
I started rebuilding a small personal blog related project that was build on WordPress. I have pretty much 0 practical coding knowledge so making even a small adjustments on WordPress (like creating CTAs and moving them around, adjusting the design and similar) either required installing plugins (which drastically reduces performance) or asking someone with knowledge to adjust the theme you are using. I really like how easy it is to make those little changes with Ycode.
It also has quite a few templates that are very easy to learn from if you reverse engineer how they were built. Looking forward to learning databases and user authentication!
@paulius_petkevicius yes, we see a lot of people migrating from WordPress. Ycode gives you full control over your project.
@paulius_petkevicius Sound brilliant! Is your project content based or ecommerce? I'm curious to give it a try
@sophie_christina_wilson it's content based (travel blog), we do some affiliate marketing but not ecommerce, at least yet. Should definitely give it a try!
Are there any plans to let users define their own CSS, much like Webflow? with the UI being a 1:1 relationship with CSS properties as opposed to adding/removing Tailwind classes.
Hi @jordan_gardiner, you can already add your own Tailwind classes via Advanced design settings section or use custom code section to add any other CSS classes.
@ieva_ycode sorry, I must not have been clear.
Is there any intention to allow users to apply styles directly to elements. Much like Webflow, where I can select an element, give it a class name and apply styles using the UI. Where each property on the sidebar has a direct 1:1 relationship to a CSS property.
I love the app, and am really wanting to move off of Webflow, but I don't like using Tailwind or agree with the way it approaches handling CSS (essentially by adding loads of classes to HTML elements).
I'd much prefer to have direct control over the CSS being applied, and keep my HTML clean.
Bildr is another good no-code application that does this. The way they handle CSS is awesome.
@ieva_ycode @jordan_gardiner I understand your concerns. However, we strongly believe that utility frameworks like Tailwind CSS is the future and that is why we use it in Ycode. It's faster, cleaner and much easier to understand code for others if you ever export your project.
Happy to see no-code industry grow! Great job YCode team, thank you for empowering creators!
@claudia_salgado thank you! We're looking forward to seeing your project built with Ycode!
Time to unleash imagination and start building! Congratulations to the Ycode team on the launch! 🚀
@indre_sizovaite User authentication! This is the next feature I am going to learn to create a CMS for a blog.
@indre_sizovaite personally, I'm very excited about workflows. Planning to add many more actions in the future ;)
