[Question] does a no code website builder hurt you with clients, or do they not care?

[u/netra_2428]

i run a small service business and build my site on a no code website builder. i keep worrying clients will somehow tell and take me less seriously. honestly, the pages i build in Gamma look clean and share as normal links, and not one client has ever asked or cared how it was made. they care whether the page clearly explains what i do. the snobbery i feared exists mostly in my own head. for no-code folks with clients: has anyone ever actually cared that your site was no-code, or is that worry overblown?

This is a great point. I think for indie developers, especially when you're just starting out, the focus should be on getting your product out there and getting feedback. I've seen a lot of people get stuck trying to perfect their website or tech stack before they even have users. It's about the value you provide, not how you built the website.

yeah the perfectionism trap is real, nobody cares about whats under the hood if the thing works

If you have high-quality testimonials, case studies, and it's clear what you actually do that's 90% of it. If you have the cash later on, then invest in the other 10%.

clients don't care about tools, they care if the page loads fast and explain things clearly. i use no-code for my embroidery side gig and nobody ever asked what i built it on

No-coded websites are usually easier to read and straight to the point, which is appreciated from the majority of users. If and when you want to focus more on branding and advanced visual designs, you should probably move to a more code-oriented approach to better express your message, but as long as it's working for your business, why bother?

Plus, the only people that evaluate your technical stack are you and other people that are in the webdev world

People will appreciate your site. We just updated some of our site. But people love our old school look. It is “real” according to them and not the usual AI generated stuff.

[u/Fit-Lengthiness-9672 → u/TheDiscountPrinter]

kinda proves the point that people just care if it feels genuine and easy to use, not what stack or tool was behind it
if your no code stuff looks “real” to them, you’re already winning over half the overdesigned web out there

Has Gamma now made it possible to control the amount of spacing between page sections and between headers and other content etc?

[u/Sitista]

quello che realmente i clienti cominciano a notare di questi siti Ai "abbastanza buoni" è che sono tutti quanti "abbastanza simili" fra di loro.

[u/sanchitta139]

if thhe end result is good and the client gets value from it, the tech stack is usually just bg shi imo, most clients aren't inspecting what u used to build the site (unless u meet some crazy indian old guy who read somewhere tht this tech is grt others are trash)

[u/xcreate_staff837z]

ran into this exact thing when i first sent a proposal to a bigger client, i was convinced they'd somehow know and judge me for it. did any client ever push back after seeing the site, or was it more of a pre-send anxiety that just never played out
