No-Code Alliance

Background

No-Code Alliance wanted one platform for two sides: builders who want to learn, show what they know and find work, and employers looking for no-code talent they can trust. Courses, a job board and a talent directory all had to sit in one product, with sign-up, profiles and listings that make sense to both sides.

What needed to change

• Employers and freelancers needed different sign-up and onboarding, in one product.
• Writing a good job post had to be quick, without losing the details builders look for.
• Employers needed to compare builders on rate, tools, experience and certificates.
• Courses had to be easy to browse by tool, level and certification.

Key decisions

Two ways in, one for each side. Sign-up asks one question first: are you an employer or a freelancer? Employers are asked about their company. Freelancers are asked about their work: title, experience, rate, salary, tools and skills.

A job post can start from one sentence. Employers describe what they are hiring for in a sentence or two, and AI writes the job post; they then add the job type, budget and duration. If they prefer, they create the job by hand in three steps: job details, budget and duration, and company information. Applicants then appear in one table that filters by status, tool and experience.

Learning and hiring share one profile. Courses end in an exam and a certificate, and developer cards in the talent directory show certificates next to the hourly rate and tools, so employers can filter talent by rate, tool and experience.

Scope of work

• Employer and freelancer sign-up and onboarding
• Job posting with an AI shortcut and a three-step form
• Applicants table with status, tool and experience filters
• Talent directory and developer profiles
• Courses, lessons and discussion
• Tool pages with rates, timelines and developer costs

The product

The main flows, from sign-up to hiring and learning.

What happened

I designed the platform in under a month, from sign-up and onboarding to the job board, applicants, talent directory, developer profiles, courses and lessons, and tool pages. The client's developer built it, and the live site at nocodealliance.org is built from these designs.
