As an effort to compete with popular design tools like Figma, no-code platform Phase recently raised $13 million and brought its platform out of beta. Putting a strong emphasis on usability and accessibility, the platform enables users to create sophisticated graphics without writing code. Phase enables large teams and individual designers to directly design and prototype user interfaces. The company plans to use the money to enhance its interface, introduce new features, and attract more users to make design more accessible to non-technical individuals without compromising on strong functionality.
The no-code movement has taken hold across industries and revolutionized users’ approach to design and development. Phase’s no-code platform has the ability to transform the design tool market by allowing those who do not have coding skills to develop interactive, high-quality designs. Team-friendly collaborative features and simplicity of the platform are intended to fulfill the needs of teams, resulting in increased productivity and communication along with decreased development time. Phase’s ultimate objective is to simplify the design process for a broad audience through an accessible, efficient alternative to more sophisticated design programs.
Phase is able to scale and mature its platform, continuously adding new features and growing its base in the design community, thanks to the funding and official rollout. The future success of the platform in the long run will, in all probability, rely largely on its compatibility with other tools and how well it can preserve a smooth user experience as it expands. With Phase leading the way, the future of design tools appears to be moving towards more flexibility and accessibility, which will make design processes more inclusive and productive for all.
