**Don’t stop at using the pre-built UI Components alone – Custom frontend development on a no-code platform**

DronaHQ is thrilled to announce the launch of DronaHQ Designer– a design tool to build custom UI components for apps.

An HR manager building an employee information app on a no-code platform wants the app screen to look like an ID card. Most no-code platforms come with pre-built UI controls that are commonly used in apps. Having an ID card control is not common. The conventional approach will be to get a UI/UX developer to code the required app screen but with Designer, users can drag, drop and custom make this control, without any need to code. This is just one instance of its many applications.


**Changing the way you build apps on a no-code platform with Designer** 

“We wanted to change the way people build apps using no-code platforms. To give even the non-programmers an easy tool to create completely personalized applications with minimal effort and time investment, we made ‘Designer’. With ‘Designer’, users get all the customization control required to build custom UI components and bolt that to their no-code apps,” says Kinjal Vora, Marketing Director at DronaHQ.

“Designer is going to give users [control over all the granularities of their app](https://www.dronahq.com/no-code-control-designer/). This is going to be beneficial especially for custom UI/UX demands that conventionally require the intervention of a front-end developer, doing away with the dilemma over custom-vs-readymade,” says Mohit Agarwal, Product Engineer at DronaHQ.

We are launching ‘Designer’ to do away with the notion that no-code platforms are meant only for mass consumption and not for unique, personalized application development. The tool, an add-on to DronaHQ’s No code app dev platform, is ideal for business users and citizen developers alike who are trying to build their apps without going to the IT teams. ‘Designer’ will also come in handy to the professional UI/UX designers who want to speed up app development by taking the no-code approach.

Using 'Designers' customers will be able to create new controls for their applications. DronaHQ will also be launching a Marketplace where the users can pick custom controls from and style them.

"DronaHQ is on its journey to becoming a Fantastic software, used for designing exceptional use cases and as well as the generic “ideal” user flow. With 'Designer' we make our platform flexible to handle exceptional situations as well,” says Jinen Dedhia, Co-founder at DronaHQ. “We look forward to seeing the storm this will stir in the no-code development space, driving us further to expand our platform’s capabilities and make DronaHQ a platform loved by users from all walks of life.”

‘Designer’ is live and will be available to all users who are building their apps on DronaHQ platform.
