Codeless

Applies to: Codeless

Overview

Codeless is FlexSite’s visual, dashboard-driven way to run Drupal — a professional CMS used by governments, universities, and enterprises worldwide. You do not need Git, command-line tools, or a developer on staff for day-to-day content work.

Who is Codeless for?

• Marketing and communications teams publishing pages, news, and landing experiences.
• Organizations that want separate test and live copies of the site (environments).
• Teams that prefer clicking Quick Login into Drupal admin over writing code.

What you can do without developers

• Create and sync environments (e.g. staging → production).
• Install and switch themes from the Theme Marketplace.
• Run backups, tune Build Settings, and read Quality reports — all from the sidebar.
• Connect shared images through Digital Assets.
• Apply one-click module updates for supported contrib modules.

Codeless vs FlexLab

Stay on Codeless when dashboard tools are enough. Choose FlexLab when you need custom PHP/modules in Git, merge-request review, and CI/CD pipelines — typical for digital agencies and in-house engineering teams.
