In this Lesson

[Day 18/30: Product Manager to CEO 30 Day Challenge] I bet you've heard this before: "You don't need to be a technical person to build a product."

And I know, I know—it sounds too good to be true. But it's not! It's totally possible for non-technical people to build their own products. And the best part? You don't have to learn how to code.

The good news is that there are tons of tools for non-technical users that help them create products like websites and mobile apps without learning how to code. They're called "app builders," and they make it possible for anyone with an idea for a product (not just developers) to turn that idea into something tangible.

As long as you have an idea for a website or app, there are tools out there that will let you build it without having any technical skills or experience. There are plenty of tools out there that make it easy for non-technical founders like you and me to get started building our products without any technical know-how whatsoever.

In fact, there are so many great tools out there that I've put together a list of our favorites for you. Check them out below:

  1. Webflow - from SaaS websites to ecommerce stores, and even fully functional (and cloneable!) job boards.

  2. Criya - if you're looking to launch and sell services, digital products like courses, ebooks and such, Criya sets you up in minutes.

  3. Mailchimp - Mailchimp’s platform helps you collect customer information, analyze who they are, and get in touch with them.

  4. Bubble - Much like webflow, Bubble's No-code framework removes the obstacles to software development. The platform lets you build your own app without knowing any programming languages.

  5. Airtable - Need databases? Combine Excel or Google Sheets with the data wrangling powers of sophisticated databases, Airtable gives you spreadsheets and databases together in one program.

  6. Payment Processing with Stripe, PayPal, Square
