Low-code/No-code Development Empowering Non-Developers: A Study on the Rise of Low-Code Web Platforms

Abstract: The rapid evolution of digital technologies has catalyzed a significant shift in software development practices, paving the way for Low-Code and No-Code (LCNC) platforms that empower non-developers to participate in application creation. This study explores the growing adoption of LCNC web platforms, examining how they enable individuals without formal programming skills to build functional, scalable web applications. Through a mixed-methods approach involving case studies, platform analysis, and user interviews, the research identifies key drivers behind the rise of LCNC tools, such as reduced development time, lower costs, and enhanced accessibility. The paper also investigates the broader implications for organizations, including shifts in workforce dynamics, the democratization of innovation, and challenges related to scalability and governance. Ultimately, this study highlights the transformative potential of LCNC development in bridging the gap between technical and non-technical users, fostering a more inclusive digital innovation ecosystem.
