САЖЕТАК /ABSTRACT:
The paper explores the concept of no-code web development, with a particular focus on the Webflow platform. The main objective of the paper is to present a modern, no-code approach to creating visually appealing, technically accurate, and fully functional websites – without the need for extensive programming knowledge or advanced coding skills. The practical part of the paper includes the creation of a demonstrative portfolio one-pager website, using Figma for prototyping and Webflow for implementation and deployment. The resulting website shows Webflow’s core functionalities such as layout design, animations, the Content Management System, search engine optimization (SEO) configuration, and testing of functionalities such as responsiveness and integrations with external services and tools. Integrations with the Xano and Shopiflow platforms were not implemented in the demonstrative project; they are analysed conceptually as extension paths that would broaden standard Webflow usage toward dynamic applications and e-commerce solutions, making Webflow a highly capable platform for the future of digital business.
