What is Bubble io?

‍

Bubble.io is an online platform that allows users to develop applications without writing code. Bubble was founded in 2012 by two entrepreneurs, Emmanuel Straschnov and Josh Haas.

‍

Bubble allows users to create web applications, mobile applications, and even e-commerce stores without having to write a single line of code .

‍

The company's mission is to "democratize software development" by making it easy for anyone to create an app or website. Bubble provides tools that blur the lines between programming languages, allowing users to drag and drop elements onto a canvas to not only create visual representations of their app, but also interact with it.

‍

What makes Bubble a unique no-code platform?

‍

Aside from the complex traditional methods of launching a business application, Bubble is the most comprehensive and simple tool for creating digital applications and software without writing complex codes. This is not possible in other traditional website builders such as Wix or CMS tools such as WordPress. This is how Bubble's no-code feature makes it unique compared to other traditional methods available for creating web applications and software.

‍

What is Bubble for? - What you need to know before joining Bubble Developers!

‍

Well, the term "no code" doesn't quite cover Bubble's entire vision. Indeed, Bubble offers the ability to create software and web applications without even writing complex code. However, the ultimate mission is broader than it seems.

‍

Web development involves several different segments that cannot be managed alone. Traditional methods of launching web applications or creating software require many experts in different fields.

‍

On the contrary, opting for Bubble can make users more satisfied, confident, and independent with the no-code method. Moreover, having a no-code feature allows anyone to produce, host, and scale web applications without knowing how the coding system works. The reduced headcount leads to significant cost savings when launching and maintaining web applications .

‍

‍

The features that Bubble offers!

‍

As already mentioned, Bubble App works smarter than other traditional methods of creating web applications and software. It offers four highly effective features to its users to ensure a hassle-free experience through visual programming when creating and maintaining web applications. Let's take a look at the features below for more clarity:

‍

• A secure database hosting facility for its users in the AWS cloud
• A specialized WYSIWYG page builder and style editor for designing and editing web pages.
• An innovative Visual Workflow Editor with which the user can add multiple events and actions in web applications.
• An intelligent capacity scaling feature that automatically increases the capacity of web applications as the application gradually grows.

‍

‍

Visual programming

‍

Bubble.io is designed so that businesses of all sizes can use it to create their business apps and software through visual programming. Since bubble.io is a cloud-based platform that provides web development services without coding, it is extremely useful for startups. Small business owners can consider this platform instead of investing a large amount in developing a commercial app or software. With the drag-and-drop visual editor and visual programming, you can develop an app all by yourself.

‍

‍

However, Bubble can also handle large-scale applications. Bubble is better equipped to ensure a seamless user experience thanks to multiple plugins and API integration.

‍

The benefits of using Bubble.io

‍

The significant benefits of Bubble.io come from its no-coding feature, as already mentioned. However, the benefits of using Bubble.io don't end there. Apart from its no-coding feature, this tool guarantees several other benefits to the end user. Moreover, Bubble.io's stunning features contribute to providing a satisfying user experience.

‍

So let's see the benefits of using Bubble.io to develop a practical, functional and easy-to-use business application or software.

‍

Easy to use

‍

Hiring app developers can be a real challenge for startups due to their tight budget. However, since Bubble can easily handle the development work, even for non-technical people, you simply drag and drop the elements to complete the development of your new app.

‍

When you create a Bubble.io account, you are directed to the main dashboard with a toolbar on the left side. Afterward, you can choose components such as text, input fields, shapes, and many other elements to create the business application. So, you just need to drag and drop the elements from the toolbar to create your custom application. So, isn't it enough to choose to use Bubble!

‍

Faster launch of internal applications and tools

‍

One of the best benefits of using Bubble is that it allows you to launch applications faster. In other conventional methods available, launching web applications can take longer. However, converting appropriate designs into the application and implementing it is relatively faster than any other method.

‍

So, depending on the business needs, one can benefit from Bubble. This saves a lot of time when launching an application. This will ultimately help business owners start their business operations sooner.

‍

‍

Excellent customization features

‍

Who doesn't love personalized experiences? Most of us like to apply unique things to grab the attention of the target audience. So, as a business owner, it is indeed a blessing to have the chance to take advantage of numerous customization features to apply to the business application.

‍

Thanks to Bubble.io's smart customization features, users can easily customize web pages or business applications according to their wishes. Bubble.io's innovative features are easy to implement. Even for non-technical people, it's not difficult to use at all.

‍

Integration with Zero Restriction

‍

For most app tools, there are some limitations that you can clearly highlight. However, with Bubble.io, there is no chance that you will face any feature limitations.

‍

With Bubble, you can integrate any functionality you want into your business application. For example, if you want to have an API on your business application, the Bubble API connector will help you achieve your API integrations. Plus, with Bubble.io's consistent, code-free module, it's easy to use add-ons.

Really profitable

‍

In a truly commercial situation, where the costs of each element are very high, Bubble offers truly cost-effective solutions. The best part about using Bubble is nothing more than paying for what you actually use. Thus, by opting for Bubble, you don't have to incur additional expenses for launching or maintaining your business application.

‍

With Bubble, it's possible to create server-based applications. Moreover, opting for server-based applications is much cheaper than other available options. Choosing Bubble is definitely ideal for startups, especially.

‍

The disadvantages

‍

Despite its many advantages, Bubble also has some disadvantages.

‍

No access to the code

‍

First of all, since it's nocode, you can't access it. So if you need to access the code, you'll have no choice but to use a plugin or create your own (it's in JavaScript).

‍

American server

‍

You also can't choose your default server location unless you have a dedicated server. For European users, your Bubble app will be installed on the AWS server in the United States.

‍

No native export to iOS and Android

‍

If you want to export your Bubble app, you need to use providers like BDK or our own Nox Native service. There is also a free but somewhat complicated way to do this with Jasonelle.

‍

Loading may be slow

‍

Compared to other nocode services, Bubble's loading time can be slow. This could impact SEO, although the new responsive engine has improved things.

‍

Bubble Pricing Overview

‍

Prices vary across platforms, so it's always best to have clear pricing information. It's true that Bubble is one of the most cost-effective platforms in the web development segment.

Some frequently asked questions

Is Bubble more effective?

If we compare Bubble to traditional coding methods, Bubble can guarantee the same level of efficiency at 70% cheaper prices and 80% faster delivery on average.

‍

Is Bubble secure?

‍

This is undoubtedly a genuine question regarding the consistency and reliability of a new platform. There are always risk factors associated with new platforms. So, trusting a new platform can certainly raise genuine questions.

‍

‍

Is it possible to maintain a Bubble app for the long term? Does it offer adequate long-term security? Do I need maintenance on my app? These are common questions that can be challenging.

‍

Today, Bubble is one of the most secure no-code services that allows you to keep the service even if your business becomes very successful. But be careful, even if the technology is secure, the flaw can come from the development carried out, which is why it is important to know Bubble well or to be accompanied by Bubble Experts .

‍

Is Bubble worth learning?

As we've already said, there are many advantages to choosing Bubble, and the no-code feature is a huge advantage when learning how to use this solution.

‍

So, after spending about 20 hours learning Bubble, you will already be able to achieve results that will amaze you.
The Bubble tutorials will allow you to learn the basics effortlessly, but we also recommend that you take the Bubble training courses.

‍

If you're already familiar with development, it should go much faster, although it's important to understand how Bubble works.

‍

How long does it take to launch an app via Bubble?

‍

App development doesn't take much time. However, it's difficult to say exactly how long it will take to launch an app or mobile platform. It actually depends on your requirements. If you have additional requirements, it may take longer to complete all the associated development tasks. Therefore, it's best to talk to one of the Bubble agencies or a freelancer and let them know your needs before you begin. If you ask, you'll definitely get an accurate timeframe.

‍

However, to give you an idea based on our own experience, developments last on average from 2 weeks to 2 months for the most complex applications.

‍

Will I become the owner of the business application?

‍

Yes, you will own your business application. Your business application belongs exclusively to you. Bubble will only provide you with hosting and other related web development services. If you hire a professional, you may gain proprietary access to your application once it is delivered. However, since you do not have access to the code, the application will always remain on Bubble and you will not be able to transfer it elsewhere.
