Platforms

Platforms allow for reduced costs

One of the most obvious reasons why you’d opt for low code platforms is that less code means a lower cost.

Let’s say that a traditional bespoke app for a large business would take six months to develop, and not to mention a costly affair.

Taking the low code approach could cut that down to a couple of months and be much cheaper.

This is good news for companies, of course, but it’s also good news for developers. It cuts out the middlemen and while they take in less income, they also use far fewer resources and come out on top overall.

Fewer bugs

Less code means fewer bugs: simple. The bug testing phase is a huge part of modern application development and even then, it’s inevitable that issues will creep through if there’s enough code there.

But the good news about low code platforms is that there’s less to test and when they tap into APIs, they have already been tested by other people.

Weblogic believes strongly in this approach to development. It helps us live our ethos and that is to help our clients to do more online than anyone else.

While the platform takes care of the development approach, it allows Weblogic to spend more time focusing on the User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX).
Here are some of the benefits of a platform approach.

Greater accessibility

The less code that an application uses, not as much bandwidth is required to download and run it. This is good news for people based in rural areas or in developing countries where internet access isn’t as prevalent.

On top of that, low code apps are easier to create than traditional applications, they can be released more quickly and at a lower price, or even for free.

This will help to increase uptake of their applications because it reduces the barrier to entry for everyone from low-income families to bootstrapping entrepreneurs.
