#203: Website creation with no-code.

*The header image was borrowed from the official source.

Talking about programming for a change.
Actually, I run a personal site (a long-standing fan site), so I can handle a certain amount of HTML and CSS.
But this time, I needed a separate site in a hurry, so this is a story about how I tried making a site with STUDIO for the first time.

What is STUDIO?

Impressions after using it

You can seriously make a site with no code...! (trembling voice)
Since I haven't been using it for long, I haven't mastered everything, and there are functional limitations because I'm on the Free plan, but you can seriously finish a site easily.
If the layout is decided to some extent, you just place things accordingly and it's finished in no time.
For elaborate sites, inputting code is hell.
It's super stressful because a small typo can make it not work at all (or cause errors).
But with this, you can say goodbye to such errors.
Even so, the customizability is so high that it makes me hold my head in my hands at the lack of sense in the site I coded myself.
To show you how pathetic it is, you'd probably understand if I said I still love using frames.
I don't think there are any sites using frames anymore.
Maybe, just maybe, inline frames?

It seems you can also input CSS and JavaScript if you have a paid plan.
My first reaction was, 'So you can use code after all!' (lol)

The fonts are also linked to multiple sites (like Google Fonts), so there is a wide variety.
I was surprised there were more types than I thought.
You can easily round the corners of images, and there really are no code elements.

My impression is that it's great because you can operate it intuitively since it's no-code.
For animations, where you would normally input complex code, with STUDIO you just click to set it and you're done.
My jaw dropped at how easy it was.
When I looked it up, it seems there are professionals who create and deliver sites using STUDIO.
Maybe it's because they consider how easy it is for the client to edit after delivery.

After creating a site this time, my impression is that it's amazing!
I was seriously saying 'wow, wow' the whole time (lol).
However, I think it's easier to create if you have some knowledge of site structure and HTML.
There are places where you have to choose tags for elements, and I think some people might get lost there.
It's something you can look up, but my impression is that it's better to have the knowledge.

There is also one major disadvantage: you can only edit from a PC.
The official site said it only works on the PC version of Google Chrome, but I was able to use it on EDGE too.
Maybe it's fine on any browser if it's from a PC?
I haven't verified it, so I don't know... (sorry).

So, if you access it from a device other than a PC, you can't do anything (you can log in).
It's a pain that you can't update it easily.
Personally, I wish they would have at least made it usable on tablets.

That was my impression as a site creation (hobby) experienced user trying out site creation as a STUDIO beginner!
I hope this conveys at least the atmosphere to those who are curious about STUDIO and wondering what it's like!

Thank you for reading this far!
