Why everyone is obsessed with no-code websites using Google Sheets?

People have been building websites for the last several years but the way they have been building the websites is constantly changing over the last few years.

Let's see how the two biggest trends can be combined to build websites much faster and easier.

No-Code

One of the growing trends in building websites is - "no-code" websites. This means without actually writing any code, you can build a website. We have tools like this in existence for decades. For example, "WordPress" is a system where you can build a simple website without writing code. But people often don't consider "WordPress" as a No-Code as it involves some bit of writing code for a few changes.

But new tools are coming in that are pure "NoCode". For example, tools like Carrd help you create single-page websites without writing any code.

Now, let's see the other big trend - "Google Sheets"

Google sheet

The usage of Google sheets has been growing exponentially with everyone using Google sheets as their backend. Below are a few reasons why Google sheets are getting popular. If you are also wondering "why do you need to build websites using Google sheets", see below.

Ease of access - Google sheets can be accessed and updated easily either from a web browser or mobile app. With just the URL of a Google sheet, anyone can access the sheet based on access permissions.
** In-built version control** - If you want to use Google sheets as a database or CMS(Content Management System), the first thing that you would be worried is about a version control system. Luckily, Google sheet comes with an in-built version control system to restore the sheet to a particular point in time.
Share with others - Google sheet can be shared easily with anyone just with the click of a button. All you need is the other person's email and add the email for sheet access.
Faster and works at scale - Google sheet works much faster and works at scale to the tune of thousands of rows easily.
Formulas and calculations - You can also add dynamic content into Google sheets by fetching data from third-party APIs and on top of this data, you can apply your formulas and calculations.

Now let's look at a system that can pull the data from Google Sheets and dynamically add this data to a website without writing even a single line of code.

One such tool is Siteoly - A NoCode website builder tool that runs on Google sheets.

Using Siteoly, all you have to do is to fill the Google Sheets with the required data and build a website in less than 10 minutes.

Siteoly has 40+ in-built templates along with a default template. You can easily choose one among them to create your own website. Each template has cards embedded in it and you can choose how you want your cards to look. Once you choose your template you can access the corresponding Google sheet with all the default values, which can be replaced with the required values.
