We hit $4M ARR and now launching a no-code tool for the e-commerce market - need your feedback! 🙌
Hey hackers, I'm Nik Shevchenko. It's been quite a while since I posted here - more than a year ago. Wow, the time flies!
I'm a founder & CEO at welovenocode.com. We match companies, who are looking to build their MVPs or full-scale products with vetted no-coders. When I posted here last time, we had $420K ARR. Since then we grew tenfold in revenue (to $4M ARR), raised $4.5M, and almost tripled our headcount. I really wish I could share a story with some of my key takeaways, but things are just getting too busy in a rapidly growing startup.
Let's have a deal - if this post gets 60 upvotes, I promise to dedicate some time to writing a great story about our last year's jouney😅
Today I wanted to have a chat with e-commerce founders and people familiar with the e-commerce industry. We found out that on Shopify there are thousands of no-code apps that allow you to build a store without a single line of code:
⚒️ Page builders (Page Fly, Gempages, Shogun, etc.)
📩 Email & SMS marketing tools (Klaviyo, Postscript, Attentive Mobile)
📈 Analytics (BeProfit, Retention X)
⭐ Reviews (Okendo, Yotpo, Loox) and much more...
To me, as a founder, it seems that it's hard to learn all these tools by yourself - I have a lot of other stuff to do. At the same time, it's hard to find a Shopify expert familiar with every app.
So we launched a new program dedicated to e-commerce founders. We want to help these startups easily find top vetted Shopify experts, who are familiar with all these no-code tools. And eventually, build beautiful ready-to-launch stores in weeks, instead of months.

Our developers already build products with no-code tools like Bubble, Webflow, Adalo, and others - why don't we do the same on Shopify no-code?
I wonder if it actually would make sense for you to use our new service. Maybe I'm biased, and as an e-commerce founder, you'd rather spend a few weeks learning all these tools by yourself?
We also launched it on Product Hunt today, so if you could help us with that upvote and a comment, I'd really appreciate it!

Looking forward to your feedback! Most importantly, have fun!
Hi Hackers! Big shoutout to Nik for writing this post!
My name is Serge, it was initially my idea to launch this product. I built my last e-commerce startup on Shopify entirely on no-code, but I had to do it the hard way - by learning every tool myself. So I thought "What if there was one platform to find all the no-coders I need..."
With the help of Nik and the entire WeLoveNoCode team, we managed to bring my idea to life. So we can't wait to hear your feedback!
If you could support us on Product Hunt, we'd truly appreciate it! Our team has spent around 1K hours in total building this product... 😅
Hey Nick, love the post! I'm a huge fan of so many of the e-commerce apps, and I've been working in ecommerce for a little over 20 years.
I've actually got an article that compares Pagefly vs Shogun vs Gempages. They're such great Shopify page builders!
