EV home charger site built with SpreadSimple

Description and use

A Swedish EV home charger comparison site was built using SpreadSimple, a no-code tool that turns Google Sheets into a website. Built-in filtering, sorting, individual product pages, and hosting were provided without custom code.

Problem

Building a comparison website for EV home chargers requires browsing, filtering, sorting, and individual product pages, which normally takes significant time to build and maintain.

Outcome

Built Laddboxguiden, a comparison website for EV home chargers, using SpreadSimple, which provided built-in filtering, sorting, individual product pages, and hosting without requiring custom code.

Workflow

• Choose a template or use the AI website creator in SpreadSimple
• Connect an existing Google Sheet to SpreadSimple
• Map spreadsheet columns to website elements (titles, images, descriptions, prices, buttons)
• Customize design settings (colors, layouts, headers)
• Configure individual page URLs for clean links
• Add new products by adding rows to the Google Sheet
• Update existing products by editing cells in the spreadsheet
• Enable filtering and sorting using spreadsheet columns

Evidence

A while ago I created a Swedish site called Laddboxguiden where you can browse and compare different EV home chargers. The site is using a nocode tool called Spreadsimple

With SpreadSimple, most of that functionality is already there, which meant that I could spend more time focusing on the content and less time worrying about the technical side of things.

The whole concept behind SpreadSimple revolves around Google Sheets, which essentially becomes the content management system for your website.

One of the things that makes this approach especially useful is how easy it becomes to update the website later... you simply add another row to your Google Sheet and fill in the necessary information. SpreadSimple then picks up the changes and displays the new product on the website.

Another feature I really appreciate is the built-in filtering and sorting functionality... With SpreadSimple, you can create filters using columns from your Google Sheet.

SpreadSimple also gives you options for customizing the URLs of individual pages, which is useful if you want clean and descriptive links instead of random identifiers.

You get a selection of layouts and design settings that allow you to change the appearance without having to work with HTML or CSS.

SpreadSimple takes care of hosting, which removes quite a few of the technical responsibilities that normally come with launching a website.
