Last July, an award-winning Drupal web development agency, OPIN, released Freeflow – a Drupal web page builder. Freeflow is a low-code application platform to make building Drupal websites easier.

According to research by analyst firm Gartner, more than 50% of medium to large enterprises will adopt a low-code application platform (LCAP) as one of their strategic application platforms by 2023, primarily due to developer shortages and skill-set challenges.

“A low-code approach will help accelerate the digital transformation for most organizations by lowering technical barriers and enabling more teams to innovate without requiring deep programming knowledge,” 

says Christopher Smith, Founder and CEO of OPIN Digital. 

“Unlike the cookie-cutter, template approach used by many agencies to build websites cheaply, our innovative system of components enables anyone to build fully customizable web pages easily and affordably.”

OPIN’s Freeflow pushes the boundaries of building Drupal websites with a low-code web component builder approach. Instead of using the same theme or page templates as your competitors, Freeflow is a complete web component design system that provides total flexibility in building website pages. Web developers and designers can now quickly create fully customizable and brand-specific pages that can easily be adjusted as the organization digitally evolves.

Every website has blocks and reusable web components throughout. You usually would have graphic designers draw some. Freeflow uses various design principles and technologies built with HTML, JavaScript, CSS to create reusable web components.

Reusable web components make interface management and creation effortless. When a website design is in the development phase, small site elements like branding, logo and company name appear on multiple pages. That’s where a standard component can be utilized on all pages reducing the amount of work needed to complete a project.
Freeflow creates groups of reusable codes that contain more than one element. It includes lists, tables, quotes, headers and footers. 

Freeflow provides components that can be dragged and dropped to create page layouts, freeing up time and resources. Reusable web components make it easier for people without years of coding experience to manage and build sites.

Freeflow gives you the freedom to create, design, manage and develop your web presence precisely the way you want. Freeflow’s drag and drop builder allows you to add or move any element on your web page – no coding required. You drag & drop primary elements like page headings, text boxes, images, buttons, call to action, forms, and any custom blocks your project may have. The builder also allows you to use advanced features like lightboxes, embedded videos and third-party widgets like Twitter.

Since Freeflow is integrated with Drupal, you can still build the key system integrations and high-level workflows you require to power your organization to deliver your value promise to your users. Therefore, you get the best of both worlds – an intuitive web page builder and the flexibility of an enterprise-level web system.

Having worked on over 200 enterprise-level projects over the past decade, OPIN has a long history of powering some of the world’s most ambitious digital projects. OPIN recently launched Groundswell – a performance website monitoring tool built into your Drupal environment. OPIN understands the unique challenges of organizations always trying to do more with fewer resources.

From building websites, intranets and even web apps, Freeflow has already been used to create several industry-leading websites in higher-ed, municipalities, non-profits and even governmental agencies. But it can be easily used by any industry, vertical and even eCommerce-focused organizations.
