Case Study: Overcoming Data-Handling Limitations in No-Code Web Development
Client Background
The client, a tech-savvy entrepreneur, sought a solution for creating a data-intensive listing website. Their primary objective was to display extensive information from various data sources (database/JSON/CSV/Excel) with functionalities like search and sort but without the complexities of coding and upkeep.
Challenge
The main hurdle was the limitations in existing no-code platforms, which couldn't handle large volumes of data or offer sufficient design flexibility. The client needed a solution that could manage extensive lists efficiently and allow for advanced user interactions.
Our Solution
