Datawrapper

Datawrapper was created in 2011 to address the need for an easy-to-use tool for data visualization. It emerged as a solution for journalists and non-technical users to produce high-quality charts and maps without requiring extensive coding skills. Over time, it gained popularity for its simplicity and effectiveness in presenting data visually.

Strengths of Datawrapper include its user-friendly interface, customization options, and ability to produce professional-quality visuals quickly. Weaknesses include limited advanced analytics features and reliance on an internet connection. Competitors include Tableau, Microsoft Power BI, and Google Data Studio.

A Datawrapper expert must have skills in data visualization, proficiency in handling datasets, and familiarity with chart types and their appropriate uses. They should also understand basic CSS for customization, be adept at data cleaning and preparation, and possess the ability to interpret and present data insights effectively.
